Innovative startup Steeped Inc. has taken an environmentally responsible approach with Steeped Coffee. The product’s proprietary single-serve brewing method delivers freshly ground, nitro-sealed specialty coffee in award-winning packaging made using renewable and compostable materials. Company founder and CEO Josh Wilbur patented the Steeped Brewing Method in response to the environmental impact of billions of unrecyclable pods accumulating in landfills each year. Unable to find viable options, Steeped sourced and developed its own sustainable packaging materials, which are now available to other CPG companies. To prepare the product, consumers just add hot water to the Steeped bags, with no machines, special equipment or plastic pods necessary. Steeped Coffee comes in five roasts: light, medium, dark, French roast, and a single-origin Swiss Water Process decaf. The suggested retail price for a box of eight individual single-serve packs is $14.99.
