Meet the founder

I needed more from my morning coffee...

As a professional athlete and father, the demands on my focus and energy are high. I was tired of dealing with the afternoon crash or experiencing jitters from my third coffee of the day. I'm passionate about coffee, but I wanted to create something that blended the enjoyment of the ritual with actives that could help me keep my eye on the ball and sustain performance throughout the day. After a large amount of experimentation, we landed on a formulation that tastes great and will help you show up as your best, every day.

No more pre-workouts

Amazing – it's the only thing I have now before training. No more pre-workouts needed.

Compare

Cheaper than the café. Simpler than a supplement stack.

The honest comparison isn't only the café. It's the jar in your cupboard plus the three supplements you keep meaning to take.

Questions

Frequently asked

The things people ask before their first pouch.

Smooth and rich – closer to a good long black than a supermarket instant. The MCT oil gives it a velvety body. It isn't sweet, because there's no sugar and no sweetener in it, and it works with milk, without, hot or over ice.

It's freeze-dried, not a powdered blend, so it goes into hot water clean. Stir for about five seconds and there's no grit at the bottom and no film on top. It also shakes out fine in a bottle if you're taking it with you.

That's the point of the formula. Each serve carries 85mg of caffeine – about one standard cup – paired with 100mg of L-theanine, which smooths the caffeine curve. You get steady energy and focus instead of a spike and a crash.

Premium freeze-dried coffee infused with 1,000mg MCT oil, 275mg electrolytes, 100mg L-theanine, 100mg ginseng extract and 85mg caffeine. 5g per serve, 20 serves per pouch. Every active is on the label – no proprietary blends.

20 serves – so 20 days at one a day, or about 10 if you're having two. Subscribers pick the delivery gap that matches how they actually drink it, and can skip or pause any time.
