“Our proprietary technology allows flavor and aroma compounds to be extracted with unprecedented precision. (Speaking of the finest coffee, you need to have a look at this Assembly x Alex Delany: Daterra Masterpieces Limted Edition coffee. But when will they come to the UK, and do their thing here as well? They’ve partnered with some of the best roasters in the USA, and have done their utmost to bring out the best from every coffee they use. Cometeer starts with the best coffee beans for the best brew Here’s the promise: all you need to do is melt the coffee and enjoy it. In conclusion, it can be pretty hit and miss.Īnd that means that us mere coffee lovers (that is, we love coffee but are not full-on coffee nerds) are not always going to get the perfect cup of coffee.
You need to think about the bean’s moisture content, roast level and grind size. The premise is this: There are so many variables involved in extracting the perfect coffee, including particle size, water chemistry, water temperature and pressure, oxidation, extraction yield and the total amount of dissolved solids in a cup. Next time I’m headed somewhere where the coffee situation is unpredictable, Cometeer is coming with.Cometeer: “We’re coffee nerds so you don’t have to be”
And at under one fluid ounce per pod, they’re TSA-approved, so you can take them on the plane. Although I’ve yet to take Cometeer on the road, the company promises that the pods taste great for up to 24 hours after they’ve been thawed. But it has made it easier than ever to enjoy a great cup of coffee. I still hit my neighborhood coffee shops a few times a week, buy beans, and brew coffee fresh. Keeping Cometeer in my freezer hasn’t changed my entire attitude towards coffee. Better yet, Cometeer is a more sustainable option than typical coffee pods: the aluminum packaging is recyclable and the company composts all of their used grounds. Once you run a sealed capsule under warm water, you can use it in any K-cup compatible machine (like a Keurig), combine it with cold water or milk for iced coffee or a latte, pour it over ice cream to make an affogato, or shake it with vodka, simple syrup, and ice for an espresso martini. Since melting a capsule with hot water doesn’t require any equipment or skill, he says Cometeer’s process is a “profound step forward” for brewing specialty coffee in their own homes.Ĭometeer coffee pods can also be utilized in a number of other ways. For Glanville, Cometeer eliminates the barrier for people to enjoy high-quality coffee at home. “I’ve been in this business for 20 years, and we love to wax about how coffee should be appreciated like wine, but there’s always been this inescapable elephant in the room, which is that you do not need to brew your own wine,” says Kyle Glanville, founder of Go Get Em Tiger in Los Angeles, one of Cometeer’s roasting partners. Not only was the cup of coffee delicious, but as I made my way through the various roasts in my box, I was able to notice the nuances of body and flavor in each variety. When they came in the mail a few days later, I boiled a pot of water, popped an icy brown puck into a mug, and poured the hot water over the frozen concentrate. I ordered a mixed box of 32 Cometeer coffee capsules. And they work with some of the country’s top roasters like Counter Culture out of Durham, Equator from San Francisco, and New York’s Joe Coffee. Developed by a team of MIT chemists and engineers, Cometeer’s proprietary extraction technology considers factors such as oxidation, grind size, and roast level to achieve the best-tasting coffee, which is then plunged in a liquid nitrogen bath to lock in the flavor. The Massachusetts-based company makes frozen coffee capsules by grinding beans at peak freshness, brewing them at 10 times the strength of normal coffee, then flash-freezing the results into concentrated pods for easy home melting. Instant coffee isn’t an option for me-I guess you could call me a coffee snob-so when a friend told me about Cometeer, I was immediately curious.
But when I’m on deadline or wake up groggy from a late night out, grinding beans and making fresh coffee feels like an insurmountable task. Most mornings I’ll brew a pot at home with beans, usually medium roasts with notes of chocolate or caramel, sourced from whatever coffee shop I was at when I was due for a refill.
