We shipped internationally for about a year but stopped recently since a lot of packages got stuck in customs or got lost.

Sure does but you need to stir (or better, shake) it a little more. The best solution is to mix the coffee in a tiny bit of hot water and then add cold milk/water.

Working on it - either that or Swiss water.

Really like the new one. Had a shot of the Gayo espresso and it was great.

I agree with you that our website needs a lot of work. We just hired our first software engineer to work on it and are currently working with a design agency to make it a lot better. All feedback much appreciated!

Apparently the companies making coffee for planes have (de)pressure chambers to conduct tastings.

Thanks for the feedback! The price is that high because of the quality of coffee and process we use. My co-founder Josh wrote a blog post about it here: https://goo.gl/mYuxkt Re: extraction - We've thought of that. Wit

Thanks for pointing that out! Will fix it.

Totally get that! I love making coffee too (guess that's why I'm a barista). Our goal is not to replace your existing coffee rituals but rather to offer an alternative that's better than other instants etc.

It's remarkably similar to fresh Starbucks. I think it's up to everyone to decide whether that's good or not.

It means that we've been part of the YC winter 2017 since January 3. The Demo Day was yesterday so it's almost finished actually.

We did international shipping until Jan but it turned out to be just a pain. A lot of shipments got stuck in customs or got lost - it wasn't the customer experience we wanted and not really worth it for us

Hmmm that's odd. Thanks for pointing out!

Thanks for the feedback! I love Andytown - have you been to the new shop yet? I live in TL and wish it was closer :(

Thanks! We're considering partnerships with different roasters and maybe Blue Bottle could be one of them.

Thanks for the feedback - duly noted. The shelf life is around 4-6 months - we recently started to flush the tubes with nitrogen so as long as you keep the in cool, dry and dark place they'll last for a while.

Now that you put it that way I definitely agree with you.

I think you're making a great point - coffee is the legal drug at the moment. Personally, I drink coffee for the flavor, not for the caffeine. I'm a big fan of high-quality decaf coffee and it's something we're looking t

Yeah... I just can't be bothered by carrying those around anymore.

If I wanted to start a scammy business running on recurring subscription I wouldn't have gone into all the trouble of developing new instant coffee ;) Obviously, we want to build a product that we and our subscribers love and choose to

We did a blind taste test at YC - 72% of the founders in our batch prefer Sudden over fresh Philz ;)

Thanks Chris!

I don't in any way disagree with you. If you're happy with those options then that's great - as you said, you'll save money. However, we're seeing that Sudden is a really compelling product to a lot of people. Most

Definitely looking to do plane coffee at some point but the water quality remains biggest issue.
