For National Coffee Day, Super Coffee made a bold move by democratizing its award-winning formula by sharing the first-of-its-kind, Open-Source Coffee Code. By doing so, the brand is inviting other brands in the beverage industry to stop using added sugar in their products and instead embrace better-for-you alternatives. The brand is inviting others in the beverage space to join the Smart Coffee Movement and rethink the ingredients they use in their products.
As Jim DeCicco, Chief Executive Officer of Super Coffee, sees it, "The beverage industry has always had a privacy problem and we're here to break that narrative with no ingredients to hide." The brand's coffee supports healthy energy with ingredients like MCT oil, vitamins and antioxidants.
Scanning Super Coffee's QR code provides access to a proprietary recipe, as well as digital experience with ingredients, nutritional information and more.
