MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 15, 2016 (PRNewswire) — Founding Fathers Coffee is now available at Amazon.com, all Military Exchanges and select retail stores throughout the United States. Using 100 percent Arabica coffee, Founding Fathers Coffee offers five different roasts; Morning Blend, Donut Shop, French Roast, Colombian and French Vanilla. The coffee will be available in single serve cups (K-cups) and ground. Also available in USDA Organic, Fair Trade and Rainforest.

Founding Fathers Coffee enters the single serve coffee industry as it continues to grow in popularity.  In 2015, 27 percent of coffee drinkers owned a single cup brewing system and projections jump to 50 percent by 2020.  Single serve generated sales of $3.71 billion for the 52 weeks ending January 24, 2016.

Beneficiaries include The American Legion, the largest veteran's service organization in the world, and Folds of Honor, a non-profit organization providing educational scholarships to the children and spouses of those fallen or disabled while serving our nation.

"I founded the company to produce superior American made products that support our American military families with what I consider to be a heroic level of giving," said Phil Knutsen, CEO.  "We hope Founding Fathers will become the coffee of choice for patriotic, main stream coffee drinkers."
