My name is Dimitar, I'm from Republic of Macedonia, Europe, and I'm writing you about G Washington's coffee which has been in our family for around 65-66 years. I'm talking about a can of soluble coffee (1oz) which is still not opened and is preserved very well, I can still read what is written on it (that's how I find out about your company). That can of coffee was given to my grandparents from the Red Cross during the Second World War when they came from Greece to Macedonia (1943-1944) like a refugees. Until today nobody opened that can and I keep it with a special feeling reminding me about the suffering of my grandparents. I just wanted to share it with you, especially because of the connection and because I never seen "Washington's" coffee in Europe before.

I am very proud to say that my great-grandfather James Leith, an immigrant from Glasgow, Scotland, worked as a tool and die maker at the Washington Coffee Company in Morris Plains, NJ. Thank you for resurrecting the Washington Coffee name and helping bring to light the fascinating history and legacy of G. Washington, the inventor, and his coffee innovations. I have not tried your coffee yet, but will be ordering some very soon!

I'm writing from Valley Forge Park in Pennsylvania. Gen. Washington encamped here from 1777-1778. Am interested in...GW coffee. We'd love to try it in our shop. Thanks. The Encampment Store (www.friendsofvalleyforge.org)

I got back from mission today and the coffee shipment was waiting for me. Thank you very much. Needless to say but it will be very much enjoyed. Thank you for your patriotism!

Just wanted y'all to know that the "Valley Forge" blend is "as advertised!" The wonderful distinctive aroma is still adorning our kitchen. That first cup was everything I expected from GW and more.......! For more than 30 years, I have been seriously sampling "dark roasts" literally around the world and have discovered my personal preference to be coffee brewed in Montreal. Your product certainly approaches that experience...robust, intense, flavorful without the acidic pungency. In a word, it is similar to the original Green Mountain (and I was associated with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters during the startup) without that pervasive "burned flavor." And your "finish" is velvety and most delightful. Your roaster should be complimented...a superior product...and I DO know the difference! Looking forward to consuming copious quantites upon our return. Good fortune...one and all.

I'm a team leader with the Infantry. The guys here have already drank most of it, and everyone seems to really like it. It must be good for them to be drinking it in this heat (it's hotter over here now than it was when I left). Thanks again!

Robert Mongold said: July 28, 2007 4:33 am PST

Thank you I'm glad to hear your enthusiasm. Whole beans would be better due to how fast the heat dries the coffee grounds out over here. The 5 lb bag sounds better. And for as how much coffee that is truly up to you, I work in a busy hospital with many wards and many patients. And most are coffee drinkers, there's always someone who who greatly apperciate some. And if not we have a donation table in our Intensive Care ward where the patients can pick up supplies to take with them on their long and tedious journey through the army health care system back to the States.

PFC Robert Mongold, thanks for your kind words, but most of all for your service to our country. It would be an honor to help you provide coffee for the wounded soldier there in the war hospital E.R. We will do all we can and also solicit help from our friends and customers to provide you with the coffee you need. Our prayers and hopes are with you.

PFC Robert Mongold said: June 28, 2007 1:26 am PST

I'm a medic currently stationed in Tallil Iraq. I am deployed with the 250th Forward Surgical Team (Airborne). I work at the base hospital in the emergency room. Another soldier told me about your coffee for the soldiers program and I'm just writing to say thank you for the support. You have no clue how much it means to U.S. soldiers when people back home send appreciation. It really helps us through times of doubt and struggles. Too many people today focus on the politicians' decisions and blame us for them. Many many soldiers are making incredible sacrifices in order to insure our country's safety, I see them come through the E.R. on a almost daily basis. I was wondering if I could sign my hospital up for your program where I would be able to distribute your product to the ones who need it most, the wounded war fighter. Regardless of your response thank you very for what you are doing for us, you are a true patriot!

Judy and I are both truly amazed and excited with your idea and energy for the project. I have looked at the Inn a dozen times on your web site and each time I feel proud just to know a good friend that is building a legacy. I printed off the "Monday Evening Prayer" (from the Inn website) and quite often read it. People are going to fall in love with the theme and the location . The coffee idea to go along with the theme was also brilliant. The whole marketing plan will be exciting to watch it unfold.

Best coffee I've ever had! It has such body and I'm crazy about it. I've had a lot of coffee all over the place and I've never tasted any better. My uncle owned a restaurant so I know what I'm talking about. I'm also from Texas, so I'm straight and direct. Believe me, that is some good coffee!

How well I remember George Washington Coffee! About 50 years ago I was away on business and had enjoyed some George Washington Coffee the evening before. The following morning I was asked by a colleague how I'd rested. I told him, "Old George sat on the edge of my bed and talked to me half the night." I've referred to it many times since. Thanks for making it available once again.

Thank you for the wonderful coffee!

That coffee is strictly out of this world!

Thank you so much for the bag of George Washington Coffee...I ground up some and brewed it, and I must say that it was fabulous!

Love the coffee

The coffee is GREAT!

I had no idea I could be so patriotic with my coffee addiction! Thanks for the history lesson. I am looking forward to trying the patriotic brew: George Washington Coffee!

It is exciting to hear of your father-in-law's work with the G. Washington Coffee Refining Co. We hope to build on the Washington coffee legacy and appreciate your input. I'd love to see a picture of the coffee cup with the logo.

Allan Miller said: March 10, 2007 3:29 am PST

My father-in-law James Hunt Jr. worked in your business in Morris Plains from the late 1920's to the middle 1930's It's been over 45 years sinc he told me this and my years could be off a little. He was born in Chester N.J. in 1898 and died in TN in 1973. I have a coffe cup with the company logo, from the 1930's, that he gave to me.

A Cup of George

Back in 1918 during the First World War, all the American coffee output was requisitioned by the US Army. As a dominant producer at that time, the G. Washington Coffee Refining Company, proudly advertised its contribution to the war effort, "G. Washington's Refined Coffee has gone to war." The following were some of the comments that were received from hardy soldiers in miserable trenches who were enjoying, as they called it, their "cup of George".

"I am very happy despite the rats, the rain, the mud, the draughts [sic], the roar of the cannon and the scream of shells. It takes only a minute to light my little oil heater and make some George Washington Coffee.... Every night I offer up a special petition to the health and well-being of [Mr. Washington]."

"There is one gentleman I am going to look up first after I get through helping whip the Kaiser, and that is George Washington, of Brooklyn, the soldiers' friend."

Excerpted from Uncommon Grounds by Mark Pendergrast,
Basic Books, New York, NY, 1999, p. 147-148.

A New York Tribune magazine ad (dated June 22, 1919) announces the return of G. Washington's Coffee to the American home following WWI.
