  • Cafe-level flavor consistency

  • Impressive roaster partnerships
  • Smooth, strong iced lattes
  • Excessive packaging waste
  • Freezer-space requirements
  • Limited box customization
  • Occasional bitter flavor notes

Cometeer Coffee earns strong reviews for delivering cafe-level flavor and exceptional convenience—flash‑frozen capsules dissolve into smooth, fresh‑tasting coffee that shines for iced lattes and quick hot cups—yet the brand draws criticism for excessive packaging, freezer-space demands, and subscription frustrations. Reviews also note inconsistent customization of roasters/flavors, occasional damaged or melted pods, and a few complaints of bitter taste or very high caffeine, making it outstanding for speed and variety but imperfect for sustainability purists or those wary of subscriptions.

  • WARNING TO NEW CUSTOMERS!!! I was "gifted a "Sample Box" for Christmas. I had no idea that by receiving a "Sample Box" I was subscribing for additional coffees. I did not place an order after the Sample Box. And COMETEER shipped me coffee I WILL NOT USE! As soon as they emailed me that they were preparing a shipment, I CANCELLED. And yet it was shipped anyway and they charged me without ever notifying me that the sample constituted a Contract for additional coffee. A really terrible way to get business!

  • My trusty Nespresso died and I’ve been trying to find a way around a new one for the time being. I am thrilled with the variety, taste, and convenience of Cometeer! They don’t take up much space in my freezer either, which I appreciate. I put the capsules in recycling after use and appreciate the aluminum construction.

  • 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.

    Feedback

    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.

  • This is honestly some of the best coffee I have made at home. I love how you can build your own box, or choose from their preselected curated boxes. The flash-frozen capsules ship on dry ice (never had any damaged boxes) and are easy to make into an iced or hot drink. I also LOVE that you can choose your flavor and roast preferences from little known coffee roasters. However, I don’t love the price. At $64 for 34 capsules, it’s cheaper than Starbucks, but still a splurge for most people. I had a subscription for about a year, and then canceled it due to cost.

  • 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.

    Feedback

    I've love to see less packaging in deliveries!

  • 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 tried many kinds of coffee, but nothing compares to Cometeer. It’s not just convenient — it’s consistently delicious. Every morning, I make myself an iced oat milk latte with one of their espresso capsules. The flavor is smooth, rich, and full-bodied, without any bitterness. It’s exactly the taste I want to start my day with. This coffee has become a part of my daily rhythm, and I genuinely look forward to it. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves high-quality coffee, without the mess or fuss.

  • 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.

    Feedback

    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.

  • I would love to give this company a higher rating, as the premise sounds incredible and the reviews even better for the flavor. However, the customer support from this company on the delivery of my product has been absolutely terrible. They say "oh the order was delayed" but they never told me of a delay until I had a chat with two people to find that out. "Oh we'll e-mail you with an update by tomorrow." Never happens. "We have no idea why it still says processing." Well can you ask someone? None of these things would be an issue if the company just e-mailed customers based off of updates as they come in, or at least stick to what they say they're going to do after speaking to a customer and giving them a specific timeline. I work in customer success, and this is basic etiquette in order to keep a job in this field. Its just frustrating, and I hope I can come back and change this review.

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

  • 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.

  • Cometeer Coffee is a unique concept, and I love the idea of their flash-frozen coffee pods—perfect for getting that high-quality brew with just the push of a button. The convenience factor is definitely a win, especially for busy mornings. However, if you’re someone who appreciates the classic brewing process or prefers a more traditional coffee taste, it might not quite hit the same notes. Freeze-dried coffee is a bit easier and more accessible for some, which is why I’d give Cometeer 3/5 stars. It’s a great option for quick, high-quality coffee, but it might not replace the ritual of brewing for everyone!

  • 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

  • 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.
