Ready for Adventure

Inspired by our adventures in the Colorado Mountains, we wanted to make a coffee that was perfectly transportable.

Our Story

We started First Ascent to bring good coffee to great places.

What do people have to say about our coffee?

All-around best instant coffee. It’s nicely balanced, neither too acidic nor bitter, with just a touch of roasty notes in its finish.

Outside Magazine

In a head-to-head test of four top instant coffee brands, First Ascent’s Ethiopia Light Roast Instant Coffee emerged the clear winner. Testers were pleasantly surprised to see a light froth and to detect a bright, balanced taste. 

Backpacker Magazine

Did not disappoint, a delightful and quick cup of coffee.

Barista Magazine

Putting the sustainability into convenience.

This instant coffee is impressive enough to fool an unsuspecting consumer. Color us both caffeinated and impressed!
