Heard about this on the shootin the bull podcast and ordered one of each ascent pack. I'm useless without coffee and starbucks really wasn't cutting it. I have High hopes for these and I love the commitment to conservation!

Ordered some Ascent packs to try. Feel good supporting a company that gives back to conserving the life we all enjoy. Thanks.

God Bless.

Tony, did I do something wrong with the ascent pack? I let the baggie sit in the water for close to 10 mins and stirred the baggie around for a min or two. Using 10oz of water and the coffee is nice and black looking but very very mild on flavor. Is this normal, should I use two baggies if I like a strong cup of coffee or did I use too much water?

Hey, Tim-

Sorry to hear that the cup profile wasn't how you like it :( It sounds like you did everything right. Our coffees
are going to be more on the sweeter side, as opposed to the darker side that have that sort of strong bite to them. Which coffee were you brewing? Our G4 blend is roasted just a little past full city (medium) to try and keep the flavor attributes of those high altitude coffees in tact. Our Colombia supremo is a getting closer to that French roast zone, so it may be closer in terms of strength to what you like.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

Tony

It was the Columbia, I think I'll try two next time.

This looks great! Not much info on the website though. Do you have descriptions of the flavor profiles for the blend and the Columbia? Also, what is the weight of the ascent packs? Gonna have to check out the podcast mentioned above. The magnum bags would be real handy for when hiking with my wife!

They weigh nothing, you wouldn't notice a diff taking 10 of these vs 10 via. Packaging is square and not a long tube, overall they do take up more space but not enough to worry about.
