MEET STEEPED COFFEE
OUR FOUNDER’S STORY
Meet our founder, Josh Wilbur, a loyal coffee enthusiast who, tired of schlepping his coffee-making gear across the country to his in-laws’, decided it was time for a change. Making a good cup of coffee shouldn’t be this complicated, he thought.
In the midst of navigating a sea of plastic-laden single-serve coffee choices, Josh Wilbur sought a more convenient and ecofriendly approach. This drive led him to create an ingenious brewing method seamlessly blending the ease of tea-making with the experience of specialty coffee. The result? A quality cup that satisfies the palate, devoid of the hassles of unwieldy equipment and wasteful plastics.
BRINGING SIMPLICITY AND SUSTAINABILITY TO SINGLE-SERVE
Steeped goes beyond the role of a traditional coffee company – we’re also a proprietary brewing method that works in close collaboration with specialty roasters, both regionally and nationally recognized. Our mission? To reshape the single-serve coffee landscape, infusing it with quality, convenience, and sustainability.
By pairing our innovative brewing method with premium coffee sourced from specialty roasters, we offer a diverse range of flavorrich journeys that satisfy both your clients’ taste buds and their eco-conscious values. Just add water, and get ready to experience a new era of single-serve coffee.
