„This month Millstone Coffee announced the launch of Mountain Moonlight blend, the company's first Fair Trade Certified offering, as part of its new Signature Collection. Tonia Hyatt, a spokeswoman for Millstone parent company Proctor & Gamble, said the decision to offer a Fair Trade Certified coffee took into account discussions with shareholder and consumer groups, as well as market research that indicated Millstone customers wanted to see a fair trade offering, according to the just-food.com news service.“

PR Distribution through United Natural Foods (#)

„In an effort to demonstrate what is financially viable in the coffee industry Equal Exchange, a profitable and still growing 17 year old company, imports 100% of their coffee, tea and cocoa under Fair Trade terms, and in 2003 will import approximately 3,000,000 pounds of Fair Trade Certified coffee. The cooperative conservatively estimates that P&G's two major brands, Folgers and Millstone, together import over 500,000,000 pounds of green coffee every year. Others have estimated that P&G's annual Fair Trade volume may only reach 2 to 3 million pounds per year, but with no timeline given for even that amount.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„Proctor & Gamble (P&G), the world’s leading coffee seller under the familiar labels of Folgers and Millstone, recently decided to add fair-trade-certified coffee to its list of products. The announcement has received mixed reactions from smaller companies within the industry. Some are happy to see P&G step up to the coffee crisis plate; others feel that the proclamation is little and late, and possibly disingenuous with P&G resembling a child who traces the Mona Lisa and presents it as his or her own.“

Our Diatribe Against Big Coffee Business (#)

„Unfortunately, former "momand pop" roasters expanded into franchised operations with centralizedroasting facilities, and venture capitalists mined the specialty coffeemarket for potential profits, distorting some of the facts to fit theirproduct descriptions. The Millstone and Brothers brand coffees at a nearbysupermarket claim to fresh. And you can buy Cappuccino in a little foilpacket, or gurgling out of a machine at a truck stop.“

„The Millstone Columbian Supremo pods produced a very good coffee, and was one of my top choices of the day. While good, I've experienced better, fresher coffees from fresh-ground and/or cafes, thus the four-star rating. The other styles I prefer include the Senseo Medium & Dark roasts; the Millstone French Roast was very acceptable.--This text refers tothe ColumbianSupremo option.“

„The best, but also the most expensive is the Senseo. I can use the Folgers and Millstone coffee, which is the best, but the machine works much better. The Senseo machine works better not just because of the solid construction, but also because it makes two cups at the same time and pressurizes the water for more efficient brewing.--This text refers tothe SenseoBlue option.“

„ Sounds like the same thing to me.  And a coffee brewing device marketed by Folgers and Millstone sounds about as promising as if McDonalds decided to sell a table top grill, along with packages of frozen bun, thin crappy beef patties, freeze dried onions, and packets of "special sauce", so that you could "enjoy" a Big Mac at home.“
