One of the more interesting direct to consumer coffe ideas I’ve come across is Cometeer Coffee. They flash freeze an espresso amount of liquid so that the eventual coffee drinker can melt the espresso and make their coffee or latte.

I ended up ordering a starter box to try out what this flash freezing concept was about. Over the course of a little over 1 month (each box holds 10 cofee pods assuming 1 serving a day), I tried these four diferent roasters generally making a latte from a coffee pod. Overall, I the flavors were excellent. I expeically enjoyed Birch Dark and Mocha Java. Both exhibited a rich chocolate and carmel flavor. Some days, I would actually have two of the coffee pods because they were delicious.

Final thoughts, I think subscribing to Cometeer is an easier alternative to making lattes and other espresso based drinks (flat white, affogatos, etc…). Although each box is roughly priced similarly to a bag of coffee beans, they are slightly more expensive if you consider on a per serving basis. I generally am able to make 13-15 servings of latte/espresso drinks with 1 bag of beans whereas Cometeer coffee pods comes in boxes of 10 (where each pod is 1 serving). For a person who loves coffe but doesn’t have the space for any coffee making items (scale, grinder, espresso maker, etc…), Cometeer Coffee might actually be a good option.
