Flash-frozen coffee capsule brand Cometeer is collaborating with coffee consultant and YouTuber James Hoffmann to release a new tasting experience kit.
The James Hoffmann Discovery Kit is due for release on 22 August and will include an eight-coffee (16 capsule) guided tasting experience curated by the World Barista Champion and Square Mile Coffee Co-Founder. The coffees are sourced from some of the world’s top specialty roasters and delivered in Cometeer’s flash-frozen format.
The coffees, which have been categorised using Hoffmann’s own methodology, include Southern Weather from Onyx Coffee Lab, Hacienda La Minita from Frozen Gold, French Roast from Intelligentsia, Chelbesa from Go Get Em Tiger, Humbler from Proud Mary, Diego Orta Anaerobic Natural from Black & White, Daterra Calabria from George Howell, and Hachi Komorebi Gesha from Cometeer.
The James Hoffman Discovery Kit is priced at US$29 for Cometeer members, while for non-members it’s $49 plus shipping. Currently, Cometeer is only available in the United States (US).
The coffee technology company uses a flash-freeze method to create capsules that it says retain high levels of flavour. Users only need to add hot water to the capsules to produce a freshly brewed coffee.
“What made me so excited about Cometeer was that finally great coffee had no barriers of equipment or skills,” says Hoffmann. “Drinking some of the very best coffee in the world is now incredibly easy.”
