MEDAGLIA D'ORO INTRODUCES NEW DECAFFEINATED PACKAGING


RADIO TALK SHOW HOST BOB GRANT TO RIDE ON MEDAGLIA D'ORO CAFFÈ ESPRESSO FLOAT

-The #1 Italian-style Espresso in U. S. Updates Decaf Can -

MIAMI - July 2003 - Rowland Coffee Roasters, Inc. - the largest espresso company in the United States - is introducing its newly designed Medaglia D'Oro Decaffeinated Can to their retail customers.

Starting with a distinctive Green Lid that coordinates with the package, the lid color helps consumers instantly identify the decaf variety. The new Green Color of the can further distinguishes decaf from the regular Medaglia D'Oro roast, as consumers always recognize green as decaf.

The new can design also quickly brings to consumers' attention the fact that Medaglia D'Oro is naturally decaffeinated, a health plus. For all theses reasons, consumers will rapidly be able to see the difference.

First available on grocery shelves in 1924, Medaglia D'Oro Caffè Espresso is now found in all major food store chains across the U.S. - from Alaska to Maine. Today, Medaglia D'Oro is roasted at Rowland Coffee Roasters' state-of-the-art Miami facility.

- Medaglia D'Oro Participates in 59th Columbus Day Parade -

NEW YORK, NY, September 2003 - The largest espresso coffee company in the United States - Rowland Coffee Roasters, Inc. of Miami, Florida - has announced that the company once again will be sponsoring the Columbus Day Parade and will have a float at the October 13th event featuring the Medaglia D'Oro Caffè Espresso brand. This year, WOR Radio talk show host,
Bob Grant, will be participating on the float along with opera singer, Jodi Singer Aguiar.

Medaglia D'Oro Caffè Espresso is the number one Italian-style espresso in the United States,
as measured by sales data company, Information Resources Inc., and has been part of the
Italian-American tradition since 1924.

Radio icon, Bob Grant, has been riveting listeners in the New York metro area for more than twenty-five years with his provocative, outrageous, funny, endearing, and intelligent opinions.
When asked how he felt about joining the Medaglia D'Oro float, Bob, who is of Italian heritage, said, "It's a great honor…not only because it's Columbus Day…but because I'm riding on the Medaglia D'Oro float with some dear friends."

The 59th Annual Columbus Day Parade continues a tradition begun by the Columbus Citizens Foundation, a group composed of approximately 500 of the most prominent men and women
of Italian heritage who have made significant contributions in the fields of science, law, business, government, education, and the arts. The spectacular Parade takes place on world famous Fifth Avenue, where over half-a-million spectators gather. The three-hour live, entertainment-packed Parade will be broadcast to millions of viewers around the world by WNBC-Channel 4 and
RAI International Corporation (Italian Broadcasting System).

With the continuing support of members such as Rowland Coffee Roasters, the Foundation not only provides academic opportunity to deserving children, but also supports various charitable causes that encompass the community as a whole.

First available on grocery shelves in 1924, Medaglia D'Oro Caffè Espresso is now found in all major food store chains across the U.S. - from Alaska to Maine. Today, all of Rowland's coffee brands - including Medaglia D'Oro - are roasted at its state-of-the-art Miami facility.
