Dear Mr. Dan Abbott, I am so very pleased to know that you have George Washington Coffee available to bless the discerning palates of Americans, and those who wish they were. I used to daily consume much coffee at the "Higher Grounds" Panera Cafe at Beacon Hill in Mount Vernon, the highest point on U.S. Route One from Maine to Florida. However, now in my Mount Vernon hideaway near the Belle Haven Marina on the Potomac, I brew my own coffee with Kangen alkaline water that makes it taste so smooth, and requires less coffee to brew each pot. And it is more healthy, for it has a pH of near neutral, 6.8 (7.0 is neutral) versus 4.4 to 5.5 for most coffees, that brew up acidic. Let's discuss this discovery, and your George Washington coffee.

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!

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.
