Reviews

"Best Instant Coffee Ever."
"Even when I have the time to brew a French press or pourover, sometimes I still choose my Alpine Start. It's just that good."

Climbing Magazine

Enjoying a quality cup of Joe while backpacking can be tough, but Alpine Start, a Boulder, CO - based food brand, is surprising outdoor enthusiasts with their superb instant coffee.

The Outbound Collective

"Even if I have time to make my favorite pourover, sometimes I still choose Alpine Start. It's packed with bold flavor, with notes of dark chocolate and roasted hazelnuts, but isn't bitter."

Backpacker Gear Guide 2018

"A smooth, easy-to-drink cup of java."
