Wolfgang Puck Coffee

Loosely known as the culinary king of Hollywood, Chef Wolfgang Puck has been serving up delicacies to the Oscar-winning patrons of the Academy Awards. His award-winning celebrity-studded restaurant, Spago, in Beverley Hills is a household name.

As a coffee lover, it was only natural for him to expand his line of gourmet food (soups and pizzas) to include his Wolfgang Puck branded coffee.

After all, this is a chef who makes his own cappuccino each morning. And, according to an article in Gourmet magazine, his coffee has to be perfect.

Wolfgang Puck coffees are available on coffee websites as well as on the shelves of independent grocers and natural food markets. Wolfgang Puck Coffee is currently served in millions of hotel rooms and hundreds of thousands of businesses nationwide.

"My estate-grown coffees deliver what I value most in coffee - the highest quality beans perfectly roasted with a delicious flavor and robust aroma," said Wolfgang Puck.

You can buy Wolfgang Puck coffee products ranging from programmable coffee makers to the drinkables -- estate-grown beans, bottled iced coffee, pods and K cups. Earlier this year, Wolfgang Puck launched a new line of ready-to-drink iced coffee beverages that are certified organic, kosher and only 120 calories per bottle. His iced coffees are chosen from organic farms as far away as Ethiopia and Peru.

 “As a coffee-lover myself, my goal was to create an exceptional tasting drink with a real coffee experience,” says Puck.

 “The coffees selected were sourced from some of the world’s best, certified organic coffee farms in Ethiopia, Peru, Colombia and Mexico. The flavor and aroma are what you might expect from a cup of fresh-brewed French roast espresso. ”

“As with any good recipe, we tinkered with just the right ratio of milk, sugar and organic ingredients to create a well-balanced and refreshing coffee drink.”

Born and raised in Austria, Wolfgang Puck was introduced to European cuisine at an early age – by his mother, a professional chef. His culinary empire is worth $500 million – and includes a signature collection of restaurants, catering services, cookbooks, gourmet food and kitchen products.
