Is Kenco legit?
Legit, mixed reviewsYou will find Kenco, a genuine coffee brand, in every big UK supermarket, yet its 2026 relaunch has not won over loyal drinkers. Jars like Kenco Smooth now mix in roast and ground coffee, which does not dissolve like instant, so a gritty layer may be the new recipe, not a bad jar.
What we checked
- Coffee brand since 1923
- Sold by Jacobs Douwe Egberts GB
- Part of JDE Peet's
- Ratings on other review websites: 1/5
Watch out for
- A new jar holding 190g where the old one held 200g, so each cup may now cost you more.
- A taste that changed from one jar to the next, with the old recipe no longer on the shelf.
- A split refill bag or a jar with a broken seal, where the batch code on the pack tells its story.
Gritty sludge at the bottom of your Kenco?
We help you write it, it gets its own public page, and you can have it sent to Kenco as a formal letter.

Who makes Kenco coffee?
Kenco coffee is made and sold in the UK by Jacobs Douwe Egberts GB Ltd of Maidenhead, part of the coffee group JDE Peet's, now owned by Keurig Dr Pepper. In Ireland the brand is sold by Jacobs Douwe Egberts IE Ltd. Kenco began as a British coffee brand in 1923, and complaints about it go to the Jacobs Douwe Egberts customer care team.
How do I report a problem with a jar of Kenco?
To report a problem with a jar, refill bag or sachet of Kenco, call customer care on 0808 100 8787 or use the contact form on the Kenco website, and keep the product until the matter is settled. Photograph the best-before date and batch code, the seal or packaging, and the problem itself, whether that is a strange taste, clumped granules, a split refill bag or something in the coffee that should not be there. Keep any foreign object sealed in a bag.
Something in the jar that should not be there? Open the case with us: our trained AI keeps coaching you on what to send Jacobs Douwe Egberts and when to push.
Can I get a refund for a faulty Kenco product?
Jacobs Douwe Egberts customer care is the place to ask for a refund or replacement for a faulty Kenco product, and the shop where you bought it may also refund you under its own policy. In the UK, goods must be of satisfactory quality, so a faulty jar is a fair basis for asking. Give the batch code and best-before date, attach photos and the receipt, and say whether you want a refund or a replacement.
Refund refused on a jar you believe was faulty? Put it through our complaint process and we help you write it in minutes, batch code and photos included.
What do people complain about most with Kenco?
Nothing has been reported about Kenco here yet.

Noticed the same in your own jar? Be the first to report it: we bring it to Jacobs Douwe Egberts, and your case opens the record for the next buyer who notices it.

And we stay with it after you file. Our trained AI opens a case file for you and keeps coaching: what to reply, when to push again, and how to escalate if nothing happens.
