Chicago-based startup Diamond Brew has emerged from stealth with an instant coffee that fully dissolves in hot or cold water, delivering the flavor, aroma, and caffeine content of premium brewed coffee. Founded early last year by Douglas Yu and backed by investors including GNC CEO Michael Costello, Dream Ventures, Entrepreneur Ventures, and the Kali Mata family office, Diamond Brew is targeting Gen Z and Millennial consumers that are looking for affordable luxuries and ‘barista quality’ products without splashing out hundreds of dollars for a fancy espresso machine. Launching direct to consumer and on TikTok Shop this week, the “brewless” coffee is sold in individually portioned recyclable aluminum pods to preserve freshness and aroma in packs of 12 (MSRP $29.88 or $2.49 per serving). The roasted grounds are upcycled and sent to companies that use them to make everything from furniture to pens
