Introducing BREW CARRY: Your Portable Coffee Companion
HUBLIC COFFEE, led by CEO Seigo Umezawa and based in Meguro, Tokyo, has collaborated with nine skilled coffee roasters from across Japan to create the innovative portable drip coffee called 'BREW CARRY'. This new product is designed to cater to various scenarios—be it enjoying a serene morning in the great outdoors, gathering around a campfire at night, or unwinding on a rainy day. With its ability to provide a flavorful experience anywhere, BREW CARRY is set to redefine your coffee rituals, whether at home, during travels, or as part of an emergency supply.
What is BREW CARRY?
'BREW CARRY' embodies the concept of being able to enjoy authentic coffee at any location, thanks to its portable drip coffee pouches. Each pouch is designed for convenient transportation, combining ease of use with the flexibility to choose between whole beans or ground coffee tailored to your needs. This product is perfect for a myriad of situations, including outdoor adventures, gifting, or even as part of your disaster preparedness kit.
Effortless Brewing
Enjoying a gourmet coffee experience has never been easier. Simply add hot water to the pouch, wait for four minutes, and your fresh coffee is ready to savor. This straightforward brewing method is part of what makes BREW CARRY unique.
Compact Design for Convenience
Each pouch contains all the necessary brewing equipment, allowing for neat storage in bags or drawers. Its compact design enables easy portability, ensuring you can carry your coffee experience wherever you go.
A Hands-On Coffee Experience
For those who love engaging in the brewing process, BREW CARRY offers two options: a whole bean type for an enriching DIY experience of crushing the beans and a ground coffee type for quick brewing. When outdoors, you can enjoy the ritual of grinding your own coffee, fostering a deeper connection with the beverage. If you're new to coffee brewing, the ground type is highly recommended for easy preparation.
Versatile Brewing Methods
BREW CARRY accommodates various brewing styles. For cold brew enthusiasts, simply add cold water to the coffee pouch and let it sit in the refrigerator for about eight hours, producing a refreshing coffee drink. It also supports milk brewing—just pour in milk for a delightful milk brew, similar to cold brew in preparation time.
The Vision Behind BREW CARRY
At HUBLIC COFFEE, our mission has always been to deliver ‘traveling coffee’ experiences, showcasing the unique characteristics of individual roasters. However, we realized that traditional subscription services often restrict consumption to home use, limiting the adventurous aspect of coffee appreciation. This led to our inquiry: “What does it mean to truly have traveling coffee?” The answer lay in creating a portable coffee solution that empowers individuals to explore, enjoy, and savor their coffee wherever they choose—thus, BREW CARRY was born. It serves as a gateway to culinary journeys, allowing consumers to connect with roasters from all corners of Japan.
Collaborative Craftsmanship
In collaboration with nine talented roasters from regions spanning from Hokkaido to Kyushu, we underscored the importance of blending flavors to reflect varying moods and settings. Each social interaction led us to design distinct coffee packs that resonate with different outdoor scenes; for instance, options that capture the essence of an outdoor morning, the tranquility of a rainy day, or the warmth of a campfire gathering.
