Interesting. How good is the coffee? I was about to come at you for being too lazy to fill up a coffee pot with some water and grounds and hit "Brew" but then I read again and you're talking about _good_ coffee. Yeah, that takes effort. Need a scale, fancy setup, etc.
I've had coffee concentrate before and it's been mixed results for me. What makes Cometeer great?

If I remember correctly, they brew and freeze the coffee quickly with liquid nitrogen to keep everything incredibly fresh. I believe James Hoffman took a tour of their facility and has a good video on what makes them different. I was a subscriber for a bit, but it personally is bit more expensive if you do have the equipment and the time.

Why freeze it? It needs a few days to off gas after roasting.

Cometeer is much, much better than any home brewed coffee I've ever made (I've used drip machines, pour overs, french presses, fancy grinders, hand crank grinders, etc.). Will it beat a cup of coffee from a local fancy brewer? Probably not. But I can confidently say that their variety ranges from decent to really freaking good (e.g. Onyx Southern Weather, George Howell Alchemy, to name a couple of favorites).
This makes me appreciate services like Cometeer.com - high quality coffee delivered frozen for a little over $2/cup. I’m not affiliated, just a very happy customer. They address the two most important pain points for me in regards to coffee drinking: time and quality.
I’m too lazy to make my own (high quality) coffee. And I don’t have the patience, or frankly the counter space, for a grinder/roasting machine. Enter a service like Cometeer, one that immediately addressed my issues, and now I can’t fathom sustaining my addiction any other way.
