Coffee Beanery Sip and Share LIVE: B-Team Takeover! Logan & Will Test Freeze-Dried Coffee Ice Cubes ☕❄️ (Geisha vs. Dark Brazil Roast)

Hey Coffee Beanery fam! ☕ Today it's the B-Team running the show—Logan and Will stepping in while the girls are out sick (get well soon, ladies!). We're keeping the energy high and diving into something super cool: freeze-dried coffee "ice cubes" (aka instant cold brew pucks) from Cometier, curated by coffee YouTuber James Hoffmann.We popped in two varieties:Geisha – Super floral and fruity (pear, jasmine, papaya notes), one of the world's priciest coffees. Smelled insane right out of the puck!Dark Roast Brazil – Rich, bold, and roasty. Strong aroma, but we both leaned toward this one for that classic dark roast kick.How it works: Drop the little frozen puck in your cup, add 6-8 oz hot water (or cold for iced), give it a stir (or a patented shake 😂), and boom—instant coffee that melts fast. We compared it to making your own at home: brew a strong cold brew concentrate, freeze it in ice cube trays, and you've basically got the same thing (minus the fancy freeze-drying process). Less acidity, more concentrated caffeine punch, no watered-down iced coffee!Our honest take:Tastes like legit brewed coffee—not bad at all!Geisha was smooth and aromatic; Brazil felt bolder and more our speed.Convenient for travel, camping, or lazy days, but yeah... kinda pricey for what you get (8-packs curated by James Hoffmann).Pro tip: Use less water if you like it stronger—we dialed it back and it hit better.We chat about why coffee's awesome—endless ways to brew, experiment, and find what works for you. Pour-over getting boring? French press old news? Try these bad boys (or DIY it!). Shoutouts to Mo (happy birthday & those cookies sound amazing!), Patty, Deborah, Melissa, and everyone hanging with us on this rainy Flushing, Michigan morning.The girls will be back next week with the full crew for more detailed rambles, but we hope the B-Team kept you entertained! ☕❤️ Drop your thoughts: Would you try freeze-dried coffee cubes?
