Over the last ten months we’ve been working secretly behind the scenes on an incredible new product. One that we think will change the way people drink coffee on the go forever.
The inspiration came during a trip to Japan last year where we first came across a truly outstanding version of the portable drip bag. A local roaster in Kyoto offered his exquisite Ethiopia, Aricha natural in handy single-serve filter coffee bags that we took with us to brew a spectacular cup of coffee at the Airbnb the next day. The uniqueness of the product, coupled with a sheer lack of comprehension as to why no one was doing this in Europe led us to embark on a journey.
What came out at the end is: Freshdrip, our own interpretation of this ingenious Japanese invention. In the beginning we launched with four variants, filled with carefully selected specialty coffees that we sourced from Trabocca in Amsterdam. Our goal was to start with a set of coffees that would appeal to a wide range of coffee drinkers including: specialty coffee lovers, coffee lovers in general and those who don’t usually drink coffee.
We developed a colour code system that will help customers identify their favourite type of coffee in the future, even if the exact coffee used in production may vary.
Last week Friday, we finally launched our website and social media channels and are proud to finally present to you the fruits of our labour. Meet Freshdrip – The barista in your pocket.
Without your support this would not have been possible!
Our goal with Freshdrip is to offer an incredibly simple, convenient and tasty way to drink great coffee on the go. It’s perfect for traveling, hiking, festivals, office spaces, events and even at home when you are in a rush or just being lazy.
For individual consumers, Freshdrip opens up a new world of possibilities and offers a chance to wave those bad coffee moments goodbye forever. And for businesses, Freshdrip offers a truly exciting and innovative product to put on the shelves, sell at the checkout counter, offer to guests in hotel rooms, include in gift baskets or even serve at a café or restaurant. You just need to offer hot water and mug. It could not be easier.
While we know that nothing will ever replace the joy you get from discovering, grindring and drinking the delicious coffees from our monthly Coffeevine box, Freshdrip adds a level of convenience and flavour never seen before in Europe.
