Diedrich Coffee is a coffee company that was founded in 1972 in Orange County, California. It is known for its specialty coffee and has played a significant role in the development of the coffee culture in the United States.

History[edit]

Diedrich Coffee was established by Martin Diedrich, who was born into a family of coffee growers in Guatemala. The company started as a small coffeehouse in Costa Mesa, California, where Martin Diedrich began roasting coffee beans and serving them to customers. The unique flavors and quality of the coffee quickly gained popularity, leading to the expansion of the business.

In the 1990s, Diedrich Coffee expanded rapidly, opening several coffeehouses across the United States. The company went public in 1996, which allowed it to further increase its presence in the coffee market.

Products[edit]

The company also emphasizes sustainability and ethical sourcing practices, working closely with coffee farmers to ensure fair trade and environmentally friendly practices.

Acquisition[edit]

In 2009, Diedrich Coffee was acquired by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, which is now known as Keurig Dr Pepper. This acquisition allowed Diedrich Coffee to expand its distribution network and reach a larger audience through Keurig's single-serve brewing systems.

Legacy[edit]

Diedrich Coffee has left a lasting impact on the coffee industry, particularly in the United States. It is credited with helping to popularize specialty coffee and introducing many consumers to the concept of high-quality, ethically sourced coffee.
