Tasting Notes: August 2026

August is here, which means one thing: iced coffee season is officially at its peak.

Whether you are heading to the beach, escaping the office for a sunny lunch break, or simply trying to stay cool on your morning walk, the right coffee makes every summer moment a little better. This month's menu is packed with coffees that shine over ice, but they are just as satisfying when the weather inevitably throws us a surprise rainy afternoon.

Here are three coffees we cannot stop reaching for this month.

Mr. Ocholo Bedecho

Bright, floral, and made for summer.

This washed Ethiopian coffee from Arsosala, Guji is everything we love about East African coffees. It is lively and expressive, with notes of green grape, lemon zest, apple blossom, and brown sugar.

If you are looking for the coffee that tastes like sunshine in a cup, this is it. The bright citrus and delicate floral notes stay beautifully vibrant over ice, making it an easy choice for hot August afternoons. Simply melt a capsule over ice and add water for an incredibly refreshing iced coffee that lets every nuanced flavor shine.

Mocha Java

A timeless classic with endless versatility.

Some coffees never go out of style. Mocha Java is one of them.

With comforting notes of dark chocolate, almond, and berry, this legendary blend strikes the perfect balance between richness and fruit. It is one of our team's favorite coffees because it is wildly delicious no matter how you prepare it.

Pour it over ice for a bold, refreshing afternoon pick-me-up. Add milk for a creamy latte with chocolatey depth. Or brew it hot and black when an unexpected summer thunderstorm rolls in. No matter the forecast, Mocha Java always delivers.

Double Take Half Caff

All the flavor. Half the caffeine.

Sometimes you want another cup without committing to another full dose of caffeine.

Double Take Half Caff is our answer. This balanced blend delivers comforting notes of chocolate, brown sugar graham cracker, and candied almonds, creating a smooth, approachable cup that is satisfying from the first sip to the last.

It is the perfect afternoon coffee, an easy second cup, or a great choice for anyone looking to ease back on caffeine without giving up great flavor.

Make the Most of Summer Coffee

One of the best parts about Cometeer is how effortless great iced coffee can be. Because every capsule is precision brewed and flash frozen at peak flavor, you can enjoy café-quality iced coffee in minutes without sacrificing taste.

Whether you gravitate toward the bright citrus of Mr. Ocholo Bedecho, the rich versatility of Mocha Java, or the easygoing balance of Double Take Half Caff, August's lineup has a coffee for every summer moment.

Here's to cold cups, warm mornings, and making the most of the last stretch of summer.
