Welcome

The Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Co. from San Antonio, TX was founded in 1899 and operated until 1972. They roasted H and H Blend, Master Chef, Anita, Border, Broncho, Jav-o, Menger Peaberry, Sam Houston, and Texas Girl Coffees. Their coffee was packaged in one- and three-pound bags, tins, and buckets. Later, they used Crystalvac jars from the Three Rivers Glass Company. H and H teas, spices, and extracts were also sold.

We have moved our business to their old factory here in San Antonio and are putting together a historical display for it.

We’re looking for anything related: advertising, products, photographs, books, stories, postcards, newspaper clippings, signs. Their original factory equipment would be a dream find.

If you’d like to help, please contact us!

The photo below is a three-pound H and H Blend Medium Ground tin — a rectangular can with the red, white, and navy label face, a swallowtail banner for the grind line, and the Roasted and packed by / Hoffmann-Hayman / Coffee Co. / San Antonio, Texas panel at the base. The paint is scuffed and the metal shows edge wear, the condition we usually see on H and H tins that were opened and refilled in trade rather than set aside as display stock.
