Developed by a team of MIT chemists and engineers, Cometeer’s proprietary extraction technology considers factors such as oxidation, grind size, and roast level to achieve the best-tasting coffee, which is then plunged in a liquid nitrogen bath to lock in the flavor. The Massachusetts-based company makes frozen coffee capsules by grinding beans at peak freshness, brewing them at 10 times the strength of normal coffee, then flash-freezing the results into concentrated pods for easy home melting. Instant coffee isn’t an option for me-I guess you could call me a coffee snob-so when a friend told me about Cometeer, I was immediately curious. Once frozen, maintain a temperature at zero degrees F or less. For best quality set the freezer temperature at minus 10 degrees F at least 24 hours ahead of freezing quantities of fresh food. But when I’m on deadline or wake up groggy from a late night out, grinding beans and making fresh coffee feels like an insurmountable task.
