Our Story

Royal Cup Coffee enjoys over a century of success & achievements: our long-standing reputation as a quality roaster.

Like most great stories, ours has a humble beginning. In 1896, Henry T. Batterton made rounds in Birmingham, Alabama, selling coffee from his horse-drawn wagon. His company, Batterton Coffee Company, served coffee so fresh and flavorful that it was deemed fit for royalty. Because of its high-quality taste, it became known around town as a “royal” cup of coffee. Batterton Coffee Company experienced decades of success and growth, and established itself as a legitimate, thriving business in a small southern city.

It wasn’t until 1950, after William E. Smith purchased Batterton Coffee Company, that the company was renamed Royal Cup Coffee. To this day, the Smith family still owns and manages the business.

Over the past 100 years, Royal Cup Coffee and Tea has grown from its small, hometown roots to become a major importer, roaster and distributor of the world’s finest specialty and premium coffees and teas. Royal Cup’s reach extends throughout the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean, serving customers in the food service, hospitality, office and specialty coffee markets.

Just what the doctor ordered on a snowy Denver morning!
Would love to order your coffee!
Please put your Rainforest Classic coffee on Amazon!
Will you be putting out an October promotion soon? Last year y'all had a "Spook/Halloween" one? 🎃👻👍
I attended an event in Des Moines, Iowa at the Airport Holiday Inn. The coffee they served was so wonderful that I asked the server what brand it was. It was Royal Cup European Blend. This is the smoothest, best coffee I have ever tried. No bitterness, no aftertaste, just great coffee. I drink mine black. I'm putting in an order now....
Good grief who the hell designed your web site? Ray charles?
I used to go there and see the box of tea bags I wanted and order, now I go there and it is a damn mess. Stupid pretty pictures of cups of tea and coffee

Whoever the propeller head idiot that thought it would be cool to make the site pretty made it ignorant.

All I wanted was to order this box of tea (SEE PICTURE)
https://ratetea.com/images/u/9ea74b2283d48f8204305710a5784af1-1280.jpg

Thanks to your incompetent web site, this is no where to be found...BUT, you have lots of pretty pictures of pretty tea in a damn coffee cup.... NEWS FLASH I know what tea looks like in a cup..

What a colossal waste of time and money to lose business.
Do you have a calorie menu on your ROAR Individual Pods?
We just had a very helpful service from Monty in Georgia!! Our machines were leaking and he was able to fix it in no time! Friendly and helpful! THANK YOU!
When you’re feeling down there is nothing better to pick you up
Help! I've been enjoying Royal Cup Roar coffee at the office but I can't find any nutrition information on the dairy topping that is added to my latte. Can you please provide?
Pour me another cup, another cup of Royal Cup
