About us

In the late 19th century, about 10 miles from our warehouse, on the site that once held Three Rivers Stadium, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, John Arbuckle set search for a better cup of coffee.

He and his brother became the first successful commercial coffee roasters in the country and through vastly improved methods of roasting and packing coffee became the largest coffee company in the U.S. by the beginning of the 20th century. Because of various events, the Arbuckle brothers’ company was sold to General Foods and the Arbuckle name largely disappeared.

In John Harvey’s office, a century later, less than a mile from John Arbuckle’s site, he was searching for the same great cup of coffee. The name Arbuckle is synonymous with coffee here in Pittsburgh, thus when founding his coffee company, Arbuckle’s was a natural name for Mr. Harvey’s company.

Today Arbuckle coffee is a leading manufacturer of flavored coffees, specializing in ‘fractional’ or ‘pillow’ packs. Small packets of coffee roasted, ground, flushed to remove oxygen, and sealed with just the right amount of coffee to brew ‘one perfect pot of coffee’™ We feel this provides you with the freshest coffee possible.

In addition to our packets of coffee (found in many supermarkets coast to coast) we offer a full array of single origin coffees and packaged and loose teas. We love coffee and love to discuss it, gab about it, or just help you out. If you have any questions or just want an email dialogue about coffee please feel free to send an email to
