Introduction
Just Pour is working to disrupt the single serve coffee market.
We developed a way to make a single serve cup of coffee that maintains freshness, can be brewed quickly with minimal effort, and is environmentally friendly. Our filters are biodegradable, our packaging is environmentally friendly, and our dripper is made from 100% recycled materials and can be used multiple times.
The best thing about Just Pour is that we’re donating a percentage of our profits to charity!

Problem
Research shows that single serve coffee markets will continue to grow steadily over the next decade.1, 2 Yet, consumers and businesses are becoming more mindful of the environmental waste (i.e. plastic buildup in landfills) caused by single serve coffee and are seeking solutions to reduce waste while still being able to enjoy the convenience of these products.

Solution
Just Pour is a single-serve subscription coffee service that delivers fresh ground coffee directly to consumers in self-contained, environmentally friendly, proprietary filters that are biodegradable.
Beans from Small Scale Farmers
Our goal is to source socially conscious coffee beans with the perfect mix of delicious flavors suitable for all palates. Our eco-friendly coffee is grown by small scale farmers that are able to provide extra care for their crops each year. From the farm to the roaster we believe quality is the key to a great cup of coffee.
Our coffee is crafted by Speedwell Coffee Roasters located in Plymouth, MA. Speedwell is a leading coffee roaster in our area, and they are exceptional specialty coffee roasters. By roasting small batches they are able to achieve consistent flavor profiles for each of the different roasting profiles.

Columbian: Light/Medium Roast
Our light-medium roast is the perfect way to start your day.
- Origin: Cauca
- Elevation: 1550 - 1700m
- Storage: GrainPro
- Process: Washed and sun-dried
- Varietals: Caturra and Colombia
Colombia Cauca is a favorite for it's natural sweetness, smooth body and clean mouthfeel. A workhorse for our wholesale program, this coffee is a consistent classic Colombian profile, that is the perfect single origin to brew at any time of day.
Taste Notes: lemon, currant, and oolong tea
Nor’easter - Dark Roast
Being from New England we are very familiar with Nor'easters storms. This dark roast coffee is a customer favorite!
- Components: Colombia
- Process: Washed
- Storage: GrainPro
This is Speedwell's signature dark roast profile; highlighting the deeper, stout flavors without compromising the Colombian coffees integrity. We take this coffee into second crack and end the roast as the natural sugars in the coffee are caramelizing when the coffee is a chestnut color. The oils on the exterior of the coffee have not yet been forced to surface. This is where we still maintain some of the sweetness and acidity inherent in the Colombian coffee, but also develop those roasty notes.
Taste Notes: dark cocoa, cinnamon spice, graham cracker.

Decaf Colombia Sugar Cane E.A. - Decaf Roast
Our decaf is a beautiful tasting coffee for those looking to dial back the caffeine intake!
- Origin: Garzon, Huila
- Elevation: 1550m
- Producer: Various smallholder farmers
- Storage: GrainPro
- Process: Washed and sun dried. Naturally decaffeinated.
- Variety: Caturra and Colombia
Decaf Process: Sugarcane ethyl acetate (E.A.) processing, commonly referred to as natural decaffeination, starts by fermenting molasses derived from sugarcane to create ethanol. The ethanol is then mixed with acetic acid which creates ethyl acetate to decaffeinate the beans.

Market


- Single-serve Coffee expected to grow 15% annually ($4b Mkt.) 3.
- US Coffee $13.6b in 2016 4.
- Millennials, largest US demographic beginning in 2018. Size - approximately 74M.
Just Pour, LLC plans to engage in the business to customer (B2C) market with a primary market focus on delivering a perishable good (e.g. single cup ground coffee) to end consumers. While this business is principally focused on the sale of goods, it exhibits tertiary qualities with respect to Just Pour, LLC's "Convenience" strategy. Just Pour, LLC's products are targeted to consumers interested in brewing a fresh quality cup of coffee that is conveniently ground, pre-measured, and delivered to the consumer's home in a subscription model. Thus, the "Convenience" strategy exhibits service like qualities indicative of a tertiary market model. Additionally, the product is designed to be environmentally friendly so as to ensure minimal waste and serve the needs and desires of consumers who wish to simultaneously engage in consumption with a marginal impact on the environment.
Competitive Landscape
Competitors are behind in creating environmentally sustainable products, whereas Just Pour has made it a principal focus of its business model.
Research shows that the majority of consumers drink coffee in the morning and at home 5. As the Millennial demographic begins to surpass other generational demographics, Just Pour believes there will be a shift in purchasing behavior to the online medium as opposed to the traditional brick and mortar retail outlet. Additionally, Millennials are not only conscious of environmental deficiencies, they are becoming more aware of product quality. Just Pour, LLC has designed a fresh and convenient model for delivering pre-portioned coffee in a convenient, fresh, and environmentally conscious way that other competitors in the environment have not yet mastered.

Progress
Initial costs per customer are based on social media engagement and varies in cost and effectiveness. Additional ad spends will be incorporated with revenue increases and capital investments. The initial go-to-market advertising will be tailored back as brand recognition takes hold.
We have two independent sales representatives meeting with businesses to incorporate Just Pour into company kitchens. There is a growing concern among business leaders to transition their companies into environmentally sustainable stewards. To that end, we’re working with several businesses to secure long term contracts to purchase Just Pour for their employees. This strategy is two fold:
- It will provide much needed “immediate” cash flow to boost advertising in the consumer market; and
- We believe the more individuals in the business environment who see this product will purchase it at home.
Success
Stage 1 we launched our minimal viable single serve coffee product.
Stage 2 will be to utilize the same Manufacturing equipment and launch multi-channel coffee products.
Stage 3 will be to expand on the varieties of coffee and region selections to continue engaging our customers and to boost market share.
- Factory built with automated machines
- Raised $125K in equity and secured a $50K term loan (with no revenue) with a commercial bank
