    Maxwell Tent: just because you’re homeless, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy great coffee. Well, it does, because this is swill not fit to rinse your drains with, but you know…

    It’s the Cracker Barrel all over. It’ll raise some brand awareness. Besides, Maxwell Brothel didn’t test well in some locations.

    Maybe the next iteration of branding could call the product “Maxwell Hovel” to fit with most workers experiences.

        A yurt would be a step up for me. I’ve been in some pretty nice yurts.

        Maxwell coffee would be a step down, however.

    It’s “Limited Time”?

    The limited-time rebrand to Maxwell Apartment delivers the same delicious taste, aroma, quality and ingredients – in fact it’s all the same except the name. An extension of the brand’s “Good to the Last Drop” platform, Maxwell Apartment is one of two campaigns debuting from the coffee brand this fall as it continues to emphasize its dedication to rich, consistent flavor people can count on while doubling down on offering the best value in coffee.

      It is all about a limited 4 canister bundle of coffee bought via Amazon, marketed to last a year or “12 month lease”, saving people from having to order coffee somewhere.

    designed to save coffee enthusiasts more than $1,000 annually

    Trust, coffee enthusiasts were already not drinking this swill, and a tone deaf advertising campaign isn’t going to change that status quo.

    No wonder my coffee tastes funny! I’ve been putting milk in it instead of filling it up with pandering! Thank God Kraft is here to remind us that they’re just like us poors. Although, if they really wanted to relate to their customers, they should rebrand as “Maxwell Lost my job Because I Couldn’t Afford to Replace a Flat Tire and now I Can’t Afford Rent”
