About Yuban

Yuban has been a coffee name in America for more than a century. Arbuckle Brothers of New York filed the YUBAN trademark in November 1913, the U.S. trademark office registered it in April 1914, and the register shows it renewed seven times since, most recently in 2024.

On the shelf today the Yuban lineup means three things: Traditional Roast Ground Coffee, the medium blend in cans from 27.9 to 48 oz, Dark Roast Bold Ground Coffee, the darker cousin in a 25.3 oz can, and Traditional Roast again in K‑Cup pods. The cans say the beans come from Latin America and other tropical regions, and that the coffee has been roasted in California since 1950.

Reviewers call Yuban smooth and not acidic, a family coffee, and plenty of them buy it online because a local store stopped carrying it. It is not a specialty roaster's coffee: there is no whole bean, no single origin and, in this catalog, no decaf. It is a dependable pot of medium or dark coffee from a can that reseals.
