An Alpine Start to Your Day Alpine Start founders Matt Segal and Alex Hanifin wanted to create a coffee that you can make anywhere you have water. So they did. Alpine Start is an instant coffee that you can drink hot or cold and it actually tastes good. The Boulder-based company makes three flavors: Original Blend, Coconut Creamer Latte and Dirty Chai Latte. Each box comes with eight servings and each serving is small enough to discreetly fit in your pocket. Costs $8.99 per box. For more information, visit alpinestartfoods.com.
