Discovery Box FAQs

Is this instant or freeze-dried?

No. We capture coffee at its absolute peak—so you can taste it at its best. Each roast is precision-brewed to 10x strength, then flash-frozen at -321ºF to preserve every flavor compound, aromatic note, and nuance. This process locks in freshness without oxidation or bitterness, delivering a smooth, vibrant cup that tastes like it was just brewed—no matter when you drink it.

Why are your capsules frozen?

Each coffee is brewed to 10x strength, then flash-frozen at -321°F to preserve its full flavor and aroma. The result? The freshest, most vibrant cup you’ve ever tasted—ready in seconds.

We’ve done the hard work so you get a perfectly delicious cup, every time. No machine, gear, or learning curve—just melt, sip, and enjoy exceptional coffee in seconds.

What happens if capsules melt?

Capsules can be refrozen if not used immediately. Liquid capsules maintain peak flavor for up to 24 hours at room temperature or 3 days in the refrigerator. That's why Cometeer is great for on the go. Pro tip: we're TSA approved!

How does the Tasting Guide work?

James Hoffmann—renowned coffee expert and World Barista Champion—personally selected each of these eight coffees in collaboration with top roasters to help you experience the full spectrum of specialty coffee. With each cup, you’ll get a short video from James, guiding you through the tasting experience and helping you understand exactly what makes each roast special.

With each coffee, you’ll be prompted to rate what you’re tasting and track your preferences along the way. At the end, we’ll send you a personalized flavor profile based on your ratings—so you can keep discovering coffees that match your unique taste.

How sustainable is it?

We created a curbside-recyclable aluminum capsule, and didn’t stop there — all of our packaging and shipping materials are recyclable. And, because we deal with the grounds on our end — by composting them — the capsules are easy to just drop in the recycling when you’re done with them. We also completely eliminate waste from beans or ground coffee going stale on-shelf and optimize the yield of each bean (so nothing is wasted from poor brewing).

How do you make it?

We’ve already brewed each cup to perfection and frozen it to preserve all the depth and flavor—so you can enjoy barista-level taste at home with zero effort.

Just melt the capsule and experience an exceptional cup, every time. No machines, no mess, no compromise.
