I was referring to the quality of the coffee that you get in the US. On the plus side Gevalia coffee (Swedish made, owned by the German JDE group) is available in the US. For some reason they decided to use a letter that doesn't exist in Swedish in the name.

Gevalia coffee in a shop in the USA, the name has been rendered as Gëvalia for some unknown reason. The letter ë doesn't exist in the Swedish alphabet.

Plus the brand name is in faux Latin, not Swedish. (It’s the same brand name in Sweden, minus the umlaut dots)

Häagen-Dazs marketing-like gimmick to make people in the US think it’s European and higher quality stuff.
