Quick Headline......Farmer Bros. Coffee...Just Bought... Coffee Bean International Of Portland,Oregon

Longbottom was established in 1981 and since then, CBI has been bought and sold several times. Each time the company focus has changed with the new ownership even though the promise is made to keep management the same. Now CBI has been bought by one of the largest institutional coffee roasters in the US. I'm talking, heavy on the word institutional. I'm sure most of you out there have seen the Farmer Bros. coffee carafe coming to your table at your local roadside restaurant? And then having the tea type coffee liquid touch your lips?? Yes! This is the company that just bought Coffee Bean International. I wish them luck!
