Single Serve Coffee Leader Partners with Philadelphia Custom Roasters to Bring Convenient, High End Pour Over Coffee to Consumers Nationwide

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Jan. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DripKit Coffee, a division of NuZee, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUZE) and leading private label co-packer for a variety of roasters and wholly owned subsidiary of NuZee Inc., announced today its collaboration with Philadelphia-based roaster Rival Bros. Coffee and the launch of the Rival Bros. Dripkit, a single serve pour over that delivers a high-end experience in a convenient, easy-to-use format available in two medium roast flavor profiles: Bourbon Barrel and Whistle & Cuss.

Founded in 2017 by Ilana Kruger, Dripkit offers single serve pour over coffee formats on a large scale to combine convenience and quality. Partnering with community focused and ethically sourced specialty roasters Rival Bros. Coffee, the Rival Bros. Dripkit packs produce a 10oz cup of coffee, using 17g of roasted and ground coffee without the prep or cleanup of a traditional pour over. The just-add-water format enables consumers to brew the perfect cup of coffee in two minutes and enjoy freshly roasted specialty coffee on-the-go, sans equipment, and without the mess.

"I founded Dripkit with the belief that delicious, pour over coffee can be an accessible and quick luxury. Our partnership with Rival Bros. enhances the flavor of our brand and offers another delicious way to enjoy our unique coffee format," said Ilana Kruger, CEO and Founder of Dripkit. "As a Pennsylvania native myself, I couldn't be prouder to partner with a local company for our first Philadelphia partnership who believes that pour over is the best way to enjoy specialty coffee and who's mission so closely aligns with my own: to provide the tastiest coffee experience for every customer, every cup."

The Rival Bros. Dripkit flavor blends include Whistle and Cuss ($17.50, pack of 5), a balanced medium roast coffee with beans from Latin America, Indonesia, and Africa that features notes of malted dark chocolate. The Dripkit also features Bourbon Barrel Aged ($18.75, pack of 5), a medium roast blend with smokey, caramel notes and rich nuttiness crafted with Brazilian beans from Yuki Minamo, Fazenda and Olhos D'agua and aged for up to two weeks prior to roasting in oak barrels from New Liberty Distillery.
