  • THIS IS A MUST TEST. Cometeer is simply genius. Cold-brewed coffee loses half the flavor as hot brewed, and these puppies have all the bold flavor of a true cup of coffee in the most convenient way possible. These are nitro frozen and don't touch oxygen until opened... pour in a cup with ice and milk or whatever you want and BOOM -- Coffee shop equivalent coffee. About 150mg of caffeine and it gets you GOING! They even partner with your favorite local coffee shops... it's seriously the easiest and best tasting thing out there... Skips the whole Keuric process of water & heating and is so simple.

  • I started ordering Cometeer to try it out and I have kept reordering! The coffee is high quality and I like that it comes from brands I know. The packaging is sleek and the pods are recyclable. It's really been the easiest way to quickly make coffee before a meeting. It's also just cool.

    Feedback

    I wish there as better communication around reordering. I would love texts vs. emails because if a box is coming and I'm not around it's not ideal since the product is frozen.

  • They have some great coffees and some icky ones... I guess coffee is so based on personal flavor preference. I think the packaging and the use is amazing... but I had a really hard tome stopping my subscription, which I didnt even realize I signed up for, so that caught me by surprise. Still trying to get through all the coffee I ordered... personally prefer my Nespresso still but I think those who like cold brews will love these different coffee. I will way I LOVEEE the half calf options! Making a half calf iced coffee is like the greatest thing in the world. Also, I brought a few packages with me for a weekend away with friends and people LOVED trying out all the NYC coffees and making them... fun crowd pleaser!

  • As someone who's a big coffee drinker (snob), I was excited - yet skeptical - to try Cometeer. I ordered the pilot program light box, which included light roast capsules from Bird Rock, Equator, George Howell, and Counter Culture. The capsules arrived in an insulated box with a brick of dry ice to assure they stay frozen during transit. I prepared my first capsule by adding a frozen capsule to hot water, stirring until dissolved. I felt as though it tasted pretty close to a pour over made with fresh beans. I had many of the rest of the capsules defrosted in the fridge and poured over ice and water. I found the flavors of all four sets of capsules to be bright, light, and overall quite similar to being prepared fresh in a traditional brewing method.

    It's a bit expensive (especially if you drink multiple cups a day, or share capsules with a partner).

  • Excellent quality and highly convenient to use. Each capsule produces what tastes like a quality cup of hot coffee or cold brew, with a good variety from a range of flavors.

    Feedback

    Because they need to be kept frozen, Cometeer comes with a lot of packaging. It's billed as fully recyclable, but still feels like a bit much.

  • I'm impressed! Not only is the coffee absolutely amazing, but their branding is top-notch. From the moment I received the package, I knew it was going to be a special experience. The unboxing process was so exciting and well thought out. The coffee itself is simply delicious. The flavor is rich and bold. It's clear that they take great care in selecting their beans and roasting them to perfection.

  • I've loved my Cometeer experience. Iw as dubious as a coffee snob, but it's amazing to get such an amazing cup of coffee in the speed it takes to boil the kettle. The best instant coffee I've had, and amazing brand and service too.

    I've love to see less packaging in deliveries!

  • Absolutely SUPERB. I can't rave about this company enough. I have been looking for something to fill in the huge gap of not buying iced lattes every other day. It's so expensive! $5-6 a latte adds up quickly. I have tried so many brands for coffee beans and expresso to make at home and none of them have even come close to Cometeer. I saw an ad for them on FB one day and thought well...might as well give it a shot! And here I am 3 months in totally hooked. The customer service is out of this world as well. I wouldn't hesitate to subscribe and give it a go before you shoot it down - yes, the cost may seem high for a coffee subscription, BUT not when you add up how much you spend at a coffee shop at the end of the month. Also, remember the coffee you make at home will be subpar to Cometeer's rich flavors. I highly recommend the dark box! Enjoy!!

    Feedback

    Perhaps in the future for available coffee blends for the month - it would be super fun to be able to choose from a few boxes (preferred blend). For example I always opt for the dark box (Obsessed LOL) and I think it would be really cool to switch up the flavor boxes or at the very least one of the dark box flavors every month delivery. This isn't to say their customer support doesn't do this - customer support is amazing! I was just thinking if one had the option from their profile that would be super cool. :) Unless the logistics for this might not work - totally get that.

  • I started hearing about Cometeer from someone who was an investor. And I definitely thought he was over-hyping his investment. But then I tried it and it was so, so good. Before I was subscribed I was buying a coffee at least every morning from cafes if not in the afternoon too. I actually like Cometeer better than almost any coffee I could possibly get out, so it cut back on that habit entirely. I've since sent it as a gift to several friends and they've loved it too. I make these as iced coffees at home year round (love an Iced in the winter too honestly) and it's been better than any home-iced alternative as well. Full disclosure that I share at least one investor with them—that's how I got put onto the brand.

    I do wish there was a little less packaging from a sustainability standpoint BUT I also suspect they're doing the best they can with shipping something frozen. I do feel good about the pods being totally recyclable and that there's no plastic in there though - before I was filling up my recycling bin with plastic cups from cafes which also wasn't amazing and I'm going to guess Cometeer is a better alternative.

  • These were amazing!!!! I really loved it and I want to continue buying but the price for what you get is really expensive!!

  • I've tried and liked Cometeer pods. The only thing is they are so expensive!

  • Had to throw out nearly 1/4 of the coffee I received due to a hole in the pods. Cometeer wouldn't replace the damaged items.

  • I tried a variety of Cometeer's coffees in 2023 and I could never get into them. I always found the taste to be extremely bitter, and could never get the water/coffee pod ratio right. It can also be very difficult to get the coffee out of the pod when you pull it out of the freezer.

  • Don't take me wrong - I think Cometeer is an innovative company, and every pod of Cometeer I've had has been a great cup of coffee. BUT. I have to say that if you already have a smooth coffee setup at home (in my case, a Moccamaster + amazing coffee from a local coffee shop) I don't see the point in switching over to Cometeer. It's a ton of extra and unnecessary packaging (aluminum tins and cardboard packaging vs just a compostable Moccamaster filter). And the price tag is insane IMO. My Cometeer pods ended up being convenient backup pods in the freezer for the odd day when we had run out of our normal coffee. So for that I guess I'll give it a couple extra points.

  • I'm not a hot coffee gal, but Cometeer has got me changing teams a bit. Brilliant concept, easy user experience, good taste. I keep them in the freezer for guests and it's a fun conversation starter.

    The subscription nature means that if you go out of town and forget about your subscription, you have a box of melted coffee waiting on your doorstep when you get home. I found it a little frustrating to get way more coffee than I had freezer space for. I ended up giving a lot away. If you do dare venture into subscription land, I hope you are better at managing your subscriptions and your calendar and your freezer real estate than I was.

  • Love this coffee. Yes, its expensive, but the quality is evident, the packaging is recyclable, and the convenience is unbeatable.

  • These are a gift from my sister-in-law, and I love them really great flavor and super easy to make. They are the real deal

  • It's a very unique concept in delivering the best flavor in coffee. I chose the light roast bundle. I was happy to be one of the 1st ones to try it. Here is what I like: coffee roasted and brewed to its perfection and then packed in frozen cups. I have had coffee 100's of different ways, each being its own ritual of morning just getting started. I get to experience top-notch coffee roasters from the country. I have to say that this validated why Central & SouthAmerican coffees are by far my favorites, and why I do not prefer African coffees from Ethiopia or Kenya. Another thing I like is the transparent nature to which Cometeer takes sustainability responsibly. From the packaging for shipping to the canisters when contain the frozen coffee brick can be reused, repurposed, or recycled.

    Feedback

    The other two coffees from Africa; good roasters, but the coffee is just not for me. This is the only reason why I gave rating of 3, because the other two coffees were just not to my liking. At least I tried them I hope to be able to pick and choose my favorite boxes moving forward where I can mix and match based on my preferences. The image above of just dropping a brick of coffee in hot water is not accurate, at least based on my 1st experience. It may be because it was super hot on the day the package was delivered and the dry ice may have evaporated a lot faster. It may have refroze causing it to loose its shape. Please make sure to refreeze the coffee pods when you get them into the house.

  • Cometeer makes remarkably good coffee. I was skeptical of these flash-frozen pods, but truly, the end result is an extremely fresh-tasting, high quality cup of coffee. I prefer using them to make iced coffee, which I do by letting a pod defrost in the fridge the night before, but they're good for hot coffee too. I just prefer my decidedly inefficient pour-over method for that.

    Feedback

    I tried to convince my office to replace our janky coffee with Cometeer, but it's too pricey for that. I think it might be possible to convince them if there were some sort of bulk discount or bigger subscription deal, but approx. $2 for every cup of coffee an employee drinks is a lot for most companies.

  • Yes, it tastes good, but I'm not sure I'm the target audience. I think I can taste the notes they advertise, but I'm pretty happy with my espresso machine. Definitely strong–supposedly three shots and makes me clean the whole apartment. However, takes up a lot of freezer space and is a little frustrate to defrost (I'm impatient).
