Maxwell House Temporarily Renames Itself 'Maxwell Apartment' With $39.99 Year‑Supply Deal

The value-driven move links the temporary name to higher coffee costs through a limited Amazon bundle positioned as a budget alternative.

Overview

  • Kraft Heinz says the first name change in 133 years spotlights affordability for today’s consumers.
  • The promotion offers a 12‑month “lease” bundle of four 27.5‑ounce canisters for $39.99 on Amazon, launched around National Coffee Day.
  • Early listings for the year‑supply bundle were reported sold out on Amazon and are awaiting restock.
  • The company emphasizes the same taste and ingredients while framing the offer as a lower-cost option to daily café purchases.
  • Citing BLS data showing coffee prices up 20.9% year over year in August, the brand estimates heavy café buyers could save more than $1,000 annually.
