Costa Coffee Instant Smooth Medium Roast

Costa Coffee is a quintessential British brand with a rich history dating back to 1971. Founded by Italian brothers Sergio and Bruno Costa in London, the company initially supplied roasted coffee to local caterers before expanding into their own line of coffee shops and retail products. The brand became a household name under the ownership of Whitbread PLC, which helped it become largest coffee house chain in the UK.

In a major global shift, The Coca-Cola Company acquired Costa Limited in 2019 for $4.9 billion. This acquisition allowed Coca-Cola to establish a major presence in the global coffee market. While the brand is famously British in identity, its instant coffee products are manufactured in multiple locations across Europe and Asia to meet global demand, often utilizing specialty roasting facilities that ensure the signature Costa flavor profile is maintained internationally.
