Café Bustelo is an American coffee brand owned by The J.M. Smucker Company.
History
Gregorio Menéndez Bustelo (1892–1965) traveled from his native Asturias, Spain to Cuba as a young man, and moved to the United States in 1917.[5] He founded the Café Bustelo coffee company in East Harlem, New York in 1928.[6] His product became popular among Cuban exiles who preferred to prepare it in espresso coffeemakers rather than the then-common method of filtering it through a coffee "sock".[7] The company remained successful throughout the 20th century, and was known for its distinctive yellow and red cans.[6]
Café Bustelo was purchased by Rowland Coffee Roasters of Miami in 2000.
