The brand "Maison du Café" (House of coffee) was created in 1923 by the Della Valle brothers, from Argentina.

Head office and factories were located 61 rue Pouchet in Paris 17th.

The company already had the slogan "The best coffee in the world" (today "Without doubt the best coffee in the world").

The brand was owned by Douwe Egberts (Sara Lee Group), a Dutch group that bought the brand at the UFIMA (French Union of Industry and Food Brand) in 1977, formerly called "Au Planteur de Caïffa" (created in 1890 by Cahen, acquisition of the brand in 1962). Then the company was bought by the German Joh. A Benckiser (Reimann family).

The roasting plant is located in Andrésieux-Bouthéon (Loire)
