Joe Martinson is a legend in the coffee world.  When he arrived in New York City in the late 1800s, he started his coffee career by hand selecting beans right from ships docking in the harbor and roasting them in his mother's kitchen.  The new Martinson® flavored coffees were selected and blended with the same personal attention and craftsmanship that led Joe's own coffee to be dubbed "the real cup of Joe."

"Flavored coffees are perfect for the single-serve capsule format," noted Jeffrey Zietlow, Director of Marketing for the RealCup™ brand. "They offer variety in taste and aroma for different moods or different moments in the day.  Our patented RealCup™ technology and unique filter ensures the maximum amount of true flavor flows through to the cup in each individual brew."

After developing the initial flavored coffee lineup, the RealCup™ innovation team was back in the lab to work on more flavor variations with appealing aromas and tastes.  Martinson's® Pumpkin Pie will launch in September, just in time for fall.

Martinson® flavors also help consumers feel good about their coffee choice, knowing that they contain 30 percent beans from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms.  The Rainforest Alliance Certified™ green frog seal on every package identifies Martinson® RealCup™ flavored coffees as products that have been grown and harvested sustainably.  Rainforest Alliance certification supports environmental, social and economic sustainability by promoting sustainable land-use practices and helping to ensure the wellbeing of workers and their communities.

Launched in August 2012, the RealCup™ brand is growing in popularity as a single-serve capsule choice, with its unique Flavor Max™ filter that delivers full flavor.
