Step aside coffee pods. Take a rest instant coffee. There’s a new single-serve option available in the world of high-end coffee. Start-up Steeped Inc. is rolling out Steeped Coffee Bags. Brewed similar to tea, the nitro sealed bags provide consumers a guilt-free package that is made using renewable and compostable materials. Steeped Coffee is the brainchild of serial entrepreneur and coffee lover Josh Wilbur, who decided to combine the convenience of a single-serving brew method with the premium quality of ethically sourced coffee.
Wilbur wanted to redeem the environmental dilemma created by wasteful coffee pods. It took Wilbur seven years to develop the bags, which deliver fresh roasted, pre-portioned, precision ground, micro batched coffee in customized full immersion filters. The consumer simply steeps one bag in hot water for about five minutes to allow the coffee to develop its distinctive body and flavor. There is no machine, no noise, no cleanup and no destructive waste.
