Horn & Hardart Automat Coffee, Medium Roast
Smooth, bright, and unmistakably classic. This medium roast is inspired by the original Horn & Hardart blend once poured from the Automat’s iconic dolphin-head coffee spouts. It’s smooth, bright, and easy to love. A dependable cup for any time of day. Crafted in Philadelphia, where the brand began in 1888.
Do you remember the Automat? I think it was 1972 when Thelma DeMarco, an old friend of the family, brought me to Madison Square Garden in New York City to see The Ice Capades. It was just the two of us. And when the show was over, Thelma took me to the Automat for dinner. Granted, I was just a little boy, but I'd never seen anything like it, and I don't think I've ever seen anything like it since. All the food was on display in little windows, and Thelma put coins in the slot to open the little glass door for each thing we ate. I'm quite certain I had pie.
Mom remembers the Automat, too. It was a great place for a quick delicious meal. The first Horn & Hardart Automat opened in Philadelphia in 1902 at 818 Chestnut Street, and in 1912, Horn & Hardart opened their first New York location on Times Square. At their peak in the 1930s to 1950s, there were more than a hundred Automats throughout New York and Philadelphia.
From the very start, you could count on the Automat for a great cup of coffee.
