Every morning, millions of Canadians reach for the same thing… coffee. But what’s actually inside that cup?
In this video, we break down 7 coffee brands Canadians should think twice about buying, including household names like Tim Hortons, Maxwell House, Folgers, Nescafé, Starbucks, Nabob, and Van Houtte. From cheap bean blends and stale pre-ground coffee to microplastics in coffee pods and hidden corporate ownership, there’s a lot happening behind the labels that most people never see.
We also uncover how a small number of massive global companies control a huge portion of the Canadian coffee market and why many brands that feel Canadian… actually aren’t anymore.
But it’s not all bad news.
We also highlight 2 Canadian coffee companies doing things the right way, focusing on quality sourcing, freshness, organic practices, and better roasting methods. If you care about what you’re drinking every day, this could completely change how you buy coffee.
If you’ve ever wondered:
Which coffee brands are actually worth your money
Whether coffee pods release microplastics
Why pre-ground coffee loses flavour so fast
Or how corporate ownership affects quality
This video breaks it all down in a simple, eye-opening way.
Some of these brands are probably sitting in your kitchen right now.
Watch before your next cup.
