JVA Coffee Holdings Co

Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (Nasdaq:JVA) (the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend on the company's common stock of three cents ($0.03) per share for stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 16, 2010. The dividend will be paid on July 29, 2010.

"A regular quarterly dividend program accomplishes our goals of creating shareholder value while sending a signal to the marketplace as to the company's current strength," said Andrew Gordon, President & CEO.

"We want to reward our investors with this modest income to give them further reason to back our company for the long haul at a time when many investors are looking for both value and stability in what has become an increasingly difficult and unstable economic and investing environment. This payout, with its current 2.4 % yield, will not prevent us from our achieving our other corporate growth initiatives, as we continue to generate free cash flow."
