Overview
A 28.4 oz canister of Maxwell House Wake Up Roast, a medium roast ground coffee for drip machines, roasted in the USA and certified kosher. It's the brand's everyday robust-but-balanced blend rather than a single-origin specialty coffee.
Maxwell House has roasted this blend in the USA since 1892, and Wake Up Roast is positioned as the brand's stronger everyday option rather than a specialty single-origin coffee. Reviewers describe it as balanced rather than harsh, which fits a grocery-aisle medium roast made for daily drip brewing.

Who it's for
Suits drip coffee drinkers who want a dependable, moderately strong medium roast at a grocery-store price without hunting for tasting notes. It is not aimed at buyers chasing single-origin or specialty coffee shop flavor.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently call the strength well judged, several say it is not too strong or too weak, and more than one mentions a pleasant aroma while brewing and a smoother taste after it's poured. One long-time buyer switched to Subscribe & Save for the price on this larger size. The one dissenting note says it tastes like typical grocery-store coffee with nothing distinctive about it.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Balanced medium roast, not overly strong or bitter
- Large 28.4 oz canister lasts a while
- Consistent taste across repeat purchases, per reviewers
Performance notes
This is ground coffee sized for drip machines rather than espresso or French press. The medium roast profile lands in the middle of the strength range, which is why reviewers call it neither too strong nor too weak, and more than one mentions the aroma while it brews and a smoother taste once poured.
