Its wild that this is not The Onion or satire. Thats a press release on a corporate website.

That’s amazingly tone deaf.

“We know none of you can afford houses anymore, but look on the bright side— super cheap coffee dust!”

The smart (and still slimy) move would have been to rebrand as Maxwell Home.

Complete with a shady “lease” to sign as a promotion.

Maybe they could double up on the theme and have loft, efficiency, 1 and 2 bedrooms.

The loft size could allow people to buy coffee once a month , given how coffee cost will increase tenfold soon

You've heard of Maxwell Apartment, now get ready for Maxwell Alleyway Sleeping Bag!

I thought it was a spoof, satire!

But it’s reported in the billionaire press

I don’t know if it’s just me but Maxwell coffee makes me shit allot!

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

I think Maxwell ground coffee has a lot of additives that are not coffee. Even if I am wrong, because I never heard of proof of that. Ground coffee in the USA is allowed things like a max percentage of ground up bugs. And because Maxwell buys coffee as cheaply as it can, one gets extra pesticides.

I buy whole beans

Im like 99% sure this is one of those press releases to get free plublicity. Usually they follow up with oh how they had scores of folks just begged them not to do it so they reluctantly will not follow through. You know the same bullshit trump tends to spew.

... they thought I wouldn't use their product if I didn't own a home? And someone was paid for this marketing idea?
