Millstone Coffee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Millstone Coffee is a coffee company that sells whole bean and ground coffee in retail settings.
The company was founded in Everett, Washington in 1981. Founder Phil Johnson sold 100 pound sacks of Arabica beans to high-end coffee shops in the greater Seattle Area, and pioneered the idea of selling whole-beaned coffees to supermarkets.
Johnson sold the company to Proctor and Gamble in 1996, which closed down most of the Everett operation and runs the company out of Ohio. Johnson took the assets P&G did not purchase and created the Cascade Coffee company, which continues to do business in Everett.
