Australian roaster Proud Mary has partnered with American company Cometeer to offer three of its coffees as flash-frozen capsules.
Cometeer uses a flash-freeze method to create coffee capsules that its team say retain high levels of flavour, with users only needing to add hot water to melt the capsule and produce a freshly brewed coffee. As part of the partnership, the American coffee-tech company will release Proud Mary‘s Humbler, Brazil Mantiqueira, and Ethiopia Deri Kidame roasts in “melt-to-enjoy” format.
“Partnering with Cometeer was a no-brainer,” says Proud Mary Co-Founder Nolan Hirte.
“Tasting a George Howell Kenyan and a COE #1 Costa Rica on a plane and realising how good they could actually show up was a game-changer. Coffee is usually tough to make both convenient and high-quality, but Cometeer has cracked it – they’ve made specialty coffee that’s not only top-notch but also easy to enjoy anywhere. I first tested it when I threw a couple of Cometeer pucks in my backpack, asked for hot water, and suddenly had one of the best coffee experiences I’ve had while flying. No gear needed. Cometeer’s format is breaking the barrier between convenience and quality, and Proud Mary is stoked to be a part of it.”
The Proud Mary coffees are exclusively available to purchase from the Cometeer website, sold in packs of eight starting at US$16.
“I believe that Proud Mary Coffee runs one of the best coffee shops on earth – they have redefined the cafe experience with pourover menus and perfectly dialled in brews,” says Alex Kaplan, Cometeer’s Head of Coffee.
“At Cometeer, we want to bring that experience to everyone by solving the challenging problem of brewing coffee. We are honoured to bring some of the world’s very best coffees in our time-saving format to more people than ever before through this partnership.”
