Kenco Millicano Original instant american coffee

Kenco is a prominent coffee brand with deep roots in the United Kingdom, where it was established in 1923 as the Kenya Coffee Company. Originally founded by retired officers from the British Army who began distributing Kenyan coffee beans in London, it evolved into a household name known for quality and innovation in the instant coffee market. The 'Millicano' range specifically represents a 'barista-style' blend of instant coffee and finely milled whole beans.

Manufacturing for Kenco products occurs across several locations to serve the European market, with significant production historically linked to facilities in Banbury, United Kingdom. Ownership of the brand has transitioned through several major food giants over the decades, including Kraft Foods and Mondelez International. Today, it is part of the portfolio of JDE Peet's, a leading global coffee and tea company formed by the merger of Jacobs Douwe Egberts and Peet's Coffee. JDE Peet's is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
