Last reviewed October 17, 2026 by the Coffee Reviews editors · How we score
Flash-frozen specialty coffee from top roasters that tastes freshly brewed in seconds, at about $2.63 a cup plus freezer space.
A box of five 8-capsule sleeves (40 cups) chosen by Cometeer's tasting team to match a chosen roast level: light, medium, dark, mixed, decaf or half-caff. Each frozen puck is coffee brewed from partner roasters' beans, which you melt into 6–8 oz of hot water or milk with no machine. Cometeer says the capsules keep peak flavor frozen for up to three years and that the aluminum is recyclable.
Best for
- Specialty-coffee lovers without time to brew
- Offices and travelers with a freezer
- Gifting a coffee sampler
What we like
- Genuinely specialty-tasting coffee in about a minute
- Coffees from named partner roasters such as Onyx, Counter Culture and George Howell
- No machine needed; works hot, iced or as a latte
- Recyclable aluminum capsules and up to 3 years frozen
Watch-outs
- About $2.63 a cup
- Needs freezer space and ships on dry ice
- Some customers report frustration cancelling subscriptions
