Sudden Coffee were an specialty instant coffee manufacturer based in San Francisco, California, USA.[1][2] It was founded by Joshua Zloof and Kalle Freese in 2015.[3][4][5] The company closed in 2020.[6]
Background
[edit]Sudden Coffee was founded by Joshua Zloof and Kalle Freese.[3] Freese & Zloof saw the demand to make properly brewed 'specialty coffee' easily available outside of major metropolitan areas.[3] Sudden Coffee was founded with help from advisors Caterina Fake (co-founder of Flickr) and Jyri Engestrom (co-founder of Jaiku).[3][7][8]
In the winter of 2017, Sudden Coffee became the second food company to be accepted by the Y Combinator accelerator.[3][9]
Sudden Coffee originally started as a monthly subscription service.[3][10][11][12]
Manufacturing Process
[edit]Sudden Coffee used single-origin coffee beans, sourced from specialty roasters, including Equator Coffee & Intelligentsia Coffee.[13][3][14][4][2][15][16] Next, the beans are fully brewed into liquid coffee. Sudden Coffee has developed a unique brewing process to brew at a lower temperature (85-90 C) than regular instant coffee, to prevent over-extraction, retaining natural sweetness, fruitiness, and acidity.[17][3][7][15][18] The coffee is then freeze dried in small batches to give more control over quality.[3][2] It is then packed by hand in recyclable containers for freshness.[3]
