Peach · Apricot · Silky honey

Ripe peach the second it hits your tongue, then soft apricot and a slow ribbon of honey. Over ice it tastes like late summer.

Smoky · Warm spice

Woodsmoke and warm spice you smell before the first sip. Deep and toasty, and bold enough for milk, so it makes a rich latte.

We freeze it at -40°F so the flavor stays put.

Most instant coffee is made by spraying brewed coffee through hot air until it turns to powder. It's fast and cheap, and the heat takes a lot of the flavor with it. We do it slowly, and cold.

Most instant coffee

Spray-dried in hot air

Quick to make by the ton. The heat cooks off much of what made the coffee taste good in the first place.

Cozy Indigo Coffee

Freeze-dried at -40°F

We brew specialty beans at peak flavor, freeze them, then dry them low and slow in small batches, about 24 hours each. What's left are pure coffee crystals that still taste like the roast.

Saving the world from bad travel coffee, one capsule at a time.

“It started in Terminal 4. For too many times in a row, we were stuck with bad airport coffee. $13 prepackaged cold latte? Pass.

Freeze-drying gave us the perfect solution: cafe-quality coffee we could take anywhere. … It quickly became our daily parenting survival kit, our holiday gifts for our coffee-loving travelers, and the perfect hybrid workday pick-me-up.”

Questions people ask us.

Isn't this just instant coffee?

It is instant, in the sense that it's ready the second it hits water. It prepares instantly but doesn't taste like your traditional instant coffee. Most instant coffee is spray-dried, blasted with hot air until it turns to powder. We freeze our specialty coffee at -40°F and dry it slowly, about 24 hours a batch, so the roast keeps the flavor it was brewed with.

Do I need a machine?

No. No machine, no grinder, no kettle if you don't want one. All you need is a cup, water and something to stir with, which is why people keep a box at their desk, in a carry-on or in a camping bag.

How do I make it?

Pour a capsule into your cup, add 6–8 oz of water and stir for a few seconds until it dissolves. Making a latte or adding creamer? Use a little less water so the coffee stays bold, then top it up with milk.

Do I have to use hot water?

No. It dissolves in cold water too, so you can pour it straight over ice for iced coffee. Use hot water if you want a warm cup. Beats is at its best iced and black, Chill works hot or iced, and Atmosphere shines as a latte.

What's in it?

One ingredient: 100% Arabica specialty coffee. No fillers, no preservatives, no sugar. Anything else in your cup, like milk, creamer or syrup, is up to you.

Isn't it a little pricey?

Each box has 24 capsules, one cup each, and on a 3-box subscription it works out to a cup. That's coffee only; milk is extra. Pick two or three boxes and shipping is free too.

Can I skip or cancel my subscription?

Yes. Your boxes ship every 30 days, and you can skip a delivery or cancel anytime.

Where do you ship, and how fast?

We ship from Irvine, California to the US and Canada, usually within 1–2 business days. US orders of two or more boxes ship free.

What do I do with the empty capsules?

Each capsule is individually sealed to keep the coffee fresh, and the capsules are recyclable. Rinse and recycle them where you live.

Honestly my new favorite thing!

Honestly this coffee is really good. 7 oz of cold water, the coffee pod and some chobani coconut creamer. It didnt even need sugar like that!One this is would say is if youre looking to use sugar, heating the coffee is, of course, the way to go. The sugar doesnt really dissolve in the cold liquid (obviously) but the way I made my coffee, it didnt need any

Key for cold coffee

I love this one for my cold coffee drinks! No thinking needed. I just add a little bit of water and rest of it is milk and then some ice. I'm a caffeine fiend so sometimes I add two for an extra strength one. Delish

Convenient, Easy, Simple, Cozy Indigo.

The media could not be loaded. I love their coffee - it is so easy to take their instant freeze dried coffee and make it as part of my daily, morning routine. I also keep a couple pods with me whenever I'm on a day trip just in case. It is perfect for outdoor situations where you need to refuel, maybe even after a nice hike! 100% highly recommend.

Take good coffee wherever you're headed.
