The annual convention for the Specialty Coffee Association was held in Houston April 25-27. Amanda, Mark and Brian all went down to represent DoubleShot, try and pre-sell some of The Coffee Purist books (slated to be on your coffee table by fall 2025), catch up with old friends, and get a pulse on what's happening today in "specialty coffee." This episode is all about that experience. Of note: a first introduction to Wondafrash Edema, a run with Firaol Ahmed, an insightful conversation with George Howell, and a lot of whispering about the T-word.
Today on The Casey Adams Show, I sit down with Matthew Roberts — Co-Founder and CEO of Cometeer, the flash-frozen coffee company redefining how we experience a perfect cup. In this episode, Matthew shares how a college idea led to a partnership with specialty coffee legend George Howell, and how they discovered a way to preserve flavor and aroma better than any other method. We talk about the role of technology in creating Cometeer's cryogenic brew process, the brand's journey from concept to category pioneer, and how storytelling, science, and simplicity are reshaping the future of coffee. Whether you're a founder, a coffee lover, or both — this episode is packed with insight.Try Cometeer: https://cometeer.com/Follow Matthew Roberts: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-roberts-35567725/Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Cometeer and Its Unique Concept03:04 The Journey of Innovation in Coffee06:02 Meeting George Howell: A Turning Point08:54 The Science Behind Flash Frozen Coffee11:53 Building Cometeer: From Concept to Reality14:58 Investor Insights and Early Challenges17:50 Marketing Strategies and Customer Engagement20:53 Personal Connection to Coffee and Its Evolution23:39 The Coffee Experience: Beyond the Basics25:34 The Journey to Specialty Coffee27:25 Kids and Coffee: A New Generation31:29 Trends in the Coffee Industry36:29 Building Relationships with Farmers44:53 Lessons Learned in Business46:56 The Future of Cometeer and Coffee Innovation

Necessity is said to be the mother of invention. The need for a caffeine fix was the impetus behind Dimitris Vakondios shaking up the first frappé at the 1957 International Fair in Greece. Vakondios was representing the Swiss-owned Nestlé food company at the annual international exhibition, where Nestle was introducing a new instant chocolate beverage made with milk and shaken in a shaker. Vakondios could not find hot water to make his usual Nescafe instant coffee during his break, so he improvised by mixing his Nescafe with cold water and ice in one of the exhibit shakers. Voila! Today's popular American versions of the Greek frappé contains milk, cream, or even ice cream, blended with instant coffee. in 1994 coffee shop owner George Howell invents the Frappuccino in Boston and trademarks the name Frappuccino, a name play on beloved international coffee favorites – the Greek frappé and Italian cappuccino....that same year Starbucks' ceo Howard Schultz buys George Howell's coffee stores and the rest is history.
How do you convince investors to bet over $100 million on your innovative beverage company? If you're Matt Roberts, you start by making them a great cup of coffee. Matt is the founder of Cometeer Coffee, which markets innovative frozen coffee capsules crafted using premium coffee beans sourced from leading specialty roasters. The single-serve capsules can be used to make hot or cold coffee, and are produced using a proprietary process in which fresh beans are ground, brewed and flash-frozen to preserve flavors and aromas. Launched in 2015, Cometeer was developed in partnership with coffee industry legend George Howell, who believes that the brand "will do for coffee what the bottle did for wine." He's not alone in his lofty expectations for the Massachusetts-based company, which has raised venture capital funding from coffee and tech heavyweights, including the founder of Keurig Green Mountain, the former president of Nespresso and lead investors in Blue Bottle Coffee, among others. Cometeer has built a thriving direct-to-consumer business and is gradually expanding distribution to brick-and-mortar retailers. The brand is currently available in over 500 stores nationwide including Sprouts, Central Market, New Season, and Gelson's. In the following interview, I spoke with Matt about how he identified the opportunity to disrupt the instant coffee category by delivering a high quality drinking experience, how Cometeer has crafted an effective consumer education strategy and how his constant desire to learn more has helped him become a better leader. Show notes: 0:35: Matt Roberts, Founder & CEO, Cometeer Coffee – Matt chats about growing up and launching Cometeer in Massachusetts, why the company is based in Gloucester and the city's history as “Freezetown USA.” He also talks about the science and process behind Cometeer and why “brew tech” is the company's stock in trade, what he considers to be the company's “moat” and who its' primary competitors are, and gives a brief, but informative, explanation as to how the company captures and preserves coffee at its peak form. He also discusses how scientific validation of the company's processing methods attracted tech and consumer brand investors, why education and trial remains Cometeer's biggest challenge, and its plans to create a mainstream offering. Matt also talks about Cometeer's relationship with roasting partners and coffee farmers, why he's bullish on climate-resistant coffee crops, how “the extended coffee TED talk” and the success of Nespresso have been effective in attracting new investors and how he talks to them about potential M&A deals, and how podcasts (like this one) have been instrumental in his personal education about business and leadership.

In the second part of our conversation with George Howell, you'll hear the story of how he influenced the global coffee market, increased quality standards and improved the lives of thousands of people. George Howell is a passionate coffee connoisseur. His career in coffee began in the 1970's, when he opened an art café in Harvard Square. Combining his deep love for roasting with his dedication to Mexican indigenous artists, George's cafés gained a devoted following. Now, George Howell Coffee shops are expanding across the East coast in the Boston area. As the Founder, George spends his time educating and traveling with his daughter Jenny in pursuit of the finest coffee beans in the world. George Howell was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Specialty Coffee Association of America in 1996, for having raised specialty coffee quality standards to a new level through his Massachusetts-based company The Coffee Connection (1974 – 1994). He had grown The Coffee Connection into 24 company-owned stores in the Northeast and sold his high-quality popular coffee company to Starbucks in 1994. In 1997, George worked on models of economic sustainability for coffee farmers under the United Nations and the International Coffee Organization. This led directly to the founding of the precedent-setting Cup Of Excellence program in 1999; it established the world's first international estate coffee competition and international internet auction that mightily contributed to breaking the commodity/price cycle for craftsman farmers in the specialty coffee industry. George Howell is a pioneer of the fair trade system. Working in partnership with quality producers, George's company pays top prices for green coffees, far exceeding Fair Trade pricing. Giving the people what they want George Howell wishes we would all drink black coffee. But back in the 1980's, he realized that crowd pleasing drinks were a hit…and decided to help create one. In this episode, George tells the real story behind the frappuccino: He didn't invent it. After visiting Seattle with a friend, he tried a version of the frappuccino and sought out to create a version of it for The Coffee Connection. He tasked his Manager and Marketer Andrew Frank with perfecting the formula, and Andrew did so much more than that - he coined the name frappuccino. It took off. The idea exploded, turning their slow summers into record-breaking profit months. Customers loved the frozen caffeine drink and told their friends all about it. New versions of it popped up around the United States. Not only was America hooked on coffee - we were getting experimental with it. The quest for quality and the start of a competition Above all else, George considers himself an educator. After The Coffee Connection was acquired by Starbucks in 1994, he traveled Brazil with The International Coffee Relations Group to connect with coffee farmers. He noticed that Brazil was not yet keeping up with Kenya, which was selling their beans at auction for double the usual fee. On a mission to help Brazilian farmers, he started test farms. They started simple, adding a new improvement each year. They designed tests to help prove that production improvements increase quality and profit. Their tests were working when the program was suddenly halted. On a mission to prevent their research from being wasted, George brainstormed a solution. He created the Cup Of Excellence program, encouraging a quality competition amongst coffee producers. He promised the winners ten cents above the current market value, and he suddenly had three hundred participants. The Brazilian market took off. Enjoy this fascinating second half of our conversation with George Howell. If you love coffee, you'll appreciate it even more knowing that every cup you drink was impacted by George himself. Quotes “What has sustained me is a need to educate.” “Our invention of the frappuccino was the name. It took off! It made our summers go from being the least income-producing to being equal to any other quarter…literally overnight.” “It was in 1988 when I went to Kenya and Costa Rica. I discovered how extraordinary, and how difficult it was to make great quality coffee.” “I was invited to be part of the International Coffee Relations Group, at the International Coffee Association. We met four times a year, talking about issues, relationships and quality. We talked about what could be done to promote those issues.” “I would travel and lecture - I would talk about the fast growth of specialty coffee, visiting one farm after the other. We created model farms where we had various farm owners where they would start from scratch. Each year they would add a quality improvement. We would see, was it more profitable at each level? We wanted to make the point that it was more profitable with each improvement we made.” “We communicated to farmers that if they won the competition, they would get a minimum of ten cents over the current market value. By promising that, we got three hundred farmers to participate.” “I had learned in ‘88 and ‘89 that Kenya was selling all their coffee at auction! And they were selling at about double everything else on the market. They went through a lot to get that quality.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the website for George Howell Coffee at https://georgehowellcoffee.com/ Follow George Howell Coffee on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/ghowellcoffee/?hl=en and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/GHowellCoffee/
If you walk down any American main street, you'll find a coffee shop or three. If you love coffee, you can thank George Howell: The man that grew the culture behind coffee consumption in the United States and beyond. George Howell is a renowned entrepreneur and the Founder of George Howell Coffee. He has been expanding the art, appreciation and knowledge of fine coffee roasting since the 1970's. George is a powerful storyteller, telling us how he spent the past 50+ years spreading unbridled enthusiasm for coffee, art and fair trade practices. George Howell was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Specialty Coffee Association of America in 1996, for having raised specialty coffee quality standards to a new level through his Massachusetts-based company The Coffee Connection (1974 – 1994). He had grown The Coffee Connection into 24 company-owned stores in the Northeast and sold his high-quality popular coffee company to Starbucks in 1994. He returned to coffee-traveling worldwide, and in 1997 worked on models of economic sustainability for coffee farmers under the United Nations and the International Coffee Organization. This led directly to the founding of the precedent-setting Cup Of Excellence program in 1999; it established the world's first international estate coffee competition and international internet auction that mightily contributed to breaking the commodity/price cycle for craftsman farmers in the specialty coffee industry. George Howell is a pioneer of the fair trade system. While founding George Howell Coffee, he sought quality producers that were just as passionate about outstanding coffee as he was. To this day, George Howell Coffee pays these farms top prices for green coffees, far exceeding Fair Trade pricing. In order to assure mutual education and trust, George and his daughter Jenny visit the farmers they work with and form lasting partnerships. Enjoy Part One of this Two-part series with entrepreneur, connoisseur and compelling storyteller George Howell. Great entrepreneurs lead with passion and purpose George grew up in New Jersey then Mexico City, raised with a love of language, art and culture. Before George began roasting coffee, he discovered Mexican indigenous Huichol artists. Quickly realizing that their work was unappreciated, he sought to help Huichol artisans show their work on the national stage. He was met with condescension. Defined as ‘folk artists', the Huichol peoples' work was devalued and discarded. But George saw what we see today - that these artists produced work that was every bit as thoughtful, unique and important as European painters and muralists. Meanwhile, George developed a love for coffee - which he did not yet see as a business opportunity. George was determined to bring Huichol art into museums on the East coast. He and his pregnant wife, Laurie packed their two children into the car and headed East. He packed his french press and coffee grinder. The family stopped at Howard Johnson's motor lodges along their route and George would grind their coffee in the mens' restrooms, leaving behind a captivating aroma most Americans had never smelled before. After using hot water to brew their coffee right there in diners and parking lots, people would come up to them and ask, “What are you doing?” Big things begin with simple ideas Showing art wasn't paying the rent. George and Laurie got to work thinking of things they could do to make money, help artists and make an impact. This led to the creation of The Coffee Connection - named by Laurie Howell. The Coffee Connection was a simple idea: The Howell's wanted to share their love of art and coffee with the world. It combined two things they cared about, paid the bills and built community. They never could have hypothesized the growth and scale their dream would take over the next few decades. After an initial press boom and surviving the coffee freeze that hit Brazil in 1975, The Coffee Connection continued to expand. During the height of the espresso obsession of the 1980's and 90's, they were adding a new café every two years. After rebuffing Starbucks' advances multiple times, The Coffee Connection was successfully acquired by Starbucks in 1994, led by CEO Howard Schultz. An exciting coffee comeback After The Coffee Connection was sold to Starbucks, George devoted himself to transforming the coffee industry for the better. He worked on sustainable farming and coffee production policies at the United Nations and the International Coffee Organization. He was making the impact he always wanted to make - but he found himself longing to return to the formation of new cafés. Be sure to tune into Part Two of our conversation with George Howell to hear how George Howell launched his signature East-coast cafés, further developing coffee culture and nurturing a love for quality coffee unlike any other. Quotes “It became a ritual to wake up to a great cup of coffee - no milk, no sugar because it was good just the way it was.” “We moved East, by car with two kids and number three on the way. It was February or March 1974. I brought coffee with me, and a little french press and grinder, just for Laurie and me. We stopped at the Howard Johnson's along the way. I would grind the coffee in the mens' rooms, always leaving the bathrooms smelling a lot better after we left. And we would order hot water…like, for tea. We'd brew our coffee right there at the Howard Johnson's. We'd always have two or three people who were having breakfast there who would come up and say, ‘what are you doing! What's that!'” “We realized that we could win on both sides by opening up a café where we could exhibit art and sell great coffee.” “The enthusiasm was so incredible. Literally within the first three months, we were overwhelmed with customers coming in there. The media was coming in. The locals were coming and filming us!” “We were successful with the people we were hiring because they were so enthused. We learned very quickly that the best salespeople were the people who spread the excitement by contagion. That was the best you could ask for!” “I'd rather go broke selling great coffee than make a fortune selling garbage.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the website for George Howell Coffee at https://georgehowellcoffee.com/ Follow George Howell Coffee on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/ghowellcoffee/?hl=en and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/GHowellCoffee/

In this conversation George shares details of his early coffee career and experiences, including the ‘unlikely' sale of his small Boston-based coffee chain to Starbucks. He also discusses balancing business with his true passion for coffee discovery and his desire to share and highlight the highest-quality coffees from around the world.Credits music: "Unreliable" by Dudley Music in collaboration with The Coffee Music ProjectSign up for our newsletter to receive the latest coffee news at worldcoffeeportal.comSubscribe to 5THWAVE on Instagram @5thWaveCoffee and tell us what topics you'd like to hear

Cometeer makes my favorite coffee. I drink three a day. They arrive frozen, with the flavor locked in, and I just add water. Today, in this Sponsored Deep Dive + Investment Memo, we cover: Founding Story and Team: Cometeer Co-Founder and CEO Matt Roberts used to be a Dunkin' guy, until he went abroad and met George Howell, who turned him on to the good stuff. He and his Co-founder/CTO Doug Hoon have built a stellar team. Market: Coffee is a $94 billion market in the US alone, and there's a lot of room for improvement. Cometeer has the chance to do to coffee what craft beer did to beer. Product: Cometeer is legitimately great coffee. The magic is in the how. Mission: The why is important, too. Cometeer wants to pay farmers more, promote independent roasters, and stop throwing pods into landfills. Challenges: Brewing and sourcing great coffee at scale is hard. Cold supply chain is hard. Opportunity: Cometeer has the chance to redefine normal peoples' expectations around coffee and become a platform for the world's best coffee.

Join me in listening to this conversation with George Howell, where we cover topics such as Cup of Excellence, coffee pricing, processing styles, craftsmanship, additives in processing, kamikaze farmers, and much more.George was awarded the Lifetime Achievement award from the SCA in 1996, even before he helped found the Cup of Excellence program in 1999. He's accomplished a lot towards improving coffee quality and educating consumers on several fronts. What I admire most is that he continues to be an advocate for quality. He's been in the industry 46 years and I was surprised to learn that he continues to travel to maintain his relationships with coffee producers, and visits Antigua every year.Even though George has had a longer career in coffee than me, and we approach coffee from different points of view and with different backgrounds, I was surprised to learn how much we have in common regarding coffee processing.Thanks for listening!
We made a big realization when we interviewed Robert Rodriguez, the Matchbook roaster for the month of November. Roasters are all in. What we mean by that is that every roaster we've talked to is so passionate about what they do. They wouldn't choose to do anything else in the coffee industry. Sure, there are days that are hard, there are days that suck, but talking to Rob reminded us how passionate the folks we work with are. Go all in on roasting with us—and learn much more about Rob's background and how he went from roasting for George Howell to heading a totally new department for Night Shift Coffee in Boston on the latest episode of the Matchbook Coffee Podcast.
