Brewbudz launches marijuana-infused coffee pods for the
Keurig.
Brewbudz
A startup out of San Diego, California, has done it easy to supplement a
small additional lift to your morning with marijuana-infused
coffee pods.
This week, Brewbudz debuted a line of coffees and teas spiked
with pot flower and encased in single-serve, fully
compostable containers. Each pod costs about $7 and
is accessible during name dispensaries in Nevada.
The thought is simple: Sink a pod into your Keurig or Keurig 2.0
brewer, drink, and suffer a caffeine jar that comes with
a buzz.
Kevin Love, executive of product for Brewbudz primogenitor company
Cannabiniers, pronounced a association wanted to moment a marijuana
edibles marketplace with a low-calorie product that uses a socially
supposed smoothness mechanism. When they review a stats on coffee
consumption, Cannabiniers (whose name combines “cannabinoids” —
chemical compounds found in pot — and “pioneers”) knew they
found a match. Nearly
two-thirds of Americans splash coffee each day.
Cannabiniers didn’t come adult with a concept. A
K-Cup-styled pot coffee product initial debuted in
Colorado in 2015. Earlier this year, pot startup Somatik
teamed adult with a San Francisco coffee spit to emanate a $12
weed-infused cold brew.
What sets Brewbudz detached from a competitors is a packaging.
The pods are done from bio-based mesh, skins of roasted coffee
beans, and other organic materials. When likely of correctly,
a pod breaks down
in as small as 5 weeks, according to a website. By
comparison, Keurig generates
billions of pieces of plastics each year.
Brewbudz sell for about $7 per pod, depending on
their potency, and are sole in packs of three.

The pods come in unchanging and decaf coffee and tea varieties, and
are accessible in a operation of doses from 10 milligrams to 50
milligrams of THC (the active part in pot that gets
users high). It’s a high threshold for a product geared for
recreational users, who typically have reduce tolerances than
medical users. If a 10-milligram crater is a severe homogeneous of a
shot of espresso and a potion of wine, afterwards a 50-milligram cup
would be all that and a Four Loko.
Love told Business Insider that a association hopes to launch a
micro-dosed product for recreational users, as good as a large
accumulation of infused pot strains, in a future.
Brewbudz are not protected by Keurig, nor are they officially
called K-cups. Keurig did not immediately respond to comment, and
Love doesn’t design to hear from a company.
“We have an eco-positive product, [Keurig has] an
eco-negative,” Love said. “What are they going to contend to us?”
