[Santa Cruz, CA, February 02, 2022] – Steeped Coffee, a Certified B Corp, announced today it is partnering with Emmy-winning chef Nick Stellino to launch his Fair Trade Certified Nick Stellino Italian Coffee — Organic Medium/Dark Roast Blend in the innovative Steeped Coffee single-serve brewing method. Exclusively on the Steeped website, each online purchase of Nick Stellino Signature Steeped Coffee comes with two free “Storyteller In the Kitchen” eCookbook downloads, while supplies last.

Celebrity Chef Nick Stellino, known for his heartwarming character and storytelling, has crafted a unique experience that weaves together a timeless multigenerational tradition with the reimagined simplicity of Steeped Coffee. The latest season of “Storyteller in the Kitchen” marks Nick Stellino’s 28th anniversary on public television. 

“This coffee is not for gulping. It is to be tasted sip by sip and to be enjoyed with a smile on your face,” said Nick Stellino. “You will find your own moments in the day when all you need is a short little break, a quick reset, sipping on the perfect cup of coffee. I believe we can do that for you. Just add hot water, and in minutes, you will have the best freshly brewed single-serve cup of coffee you have ever had in your home.”

Brewed similar to tea, these fully certified compostable Steeped Coffee Packs require no machines or specialty brewing equipment and are quickly becoming the new standard in single-serve coffee. Steeped Packs, filled with Nick Stellino’s signature blend, contain artisan-roasted, freshly ground pre-portioned coffee that is triple nitro-sealed to guarantee the perfect cup every time.

Each Nick Stellino Italian Steeped Coffee Pack is fashioned from 100% specialty grade coffee that is ethically sourced with Fair Trade and USDA Organic Certifications from the Tolima region of Columbia. Grown at an elevation of 1,700 – 2,000 meters, the green coffee is slowly craft-roasted over a sustainable oakwood fire, creating a smooth silky-bodied organic coffee. This medium/dark blend balances a subtle smokiness with an exquisite caramel finish creating a memorable flavor experience.

“When I think of the perfect cup of coffee, I think of a moment in time. A moment when somehow time seems to slow down, and every instant passes with a smile. I abandon myself at that moment, and in my soul, I believe everything will be alright,” said Stellino. 

Nick Stellino’s successful career as a television chef and author began in Italy, where he grew up in a family of accomplished cooks. Stellino has multiple television series to his credit, along with 12 published cookbooks. Nick Stellino’s cooking shows are seen on public television stations across the United States and are syndicated throughout Latin America, Eastern Europe, South Africa, and the Middle East.

Steeped Coffee is proud to offer two of Nick Stellino’s coveted eCookbooks for free. This delectable opportunity to experience “Storyteller In the Kitchen 1 & 2” invites new adventures into your kitchen, while you sip on Nick Stellino’s signature coffee blend. Each Nick Stellino Signature Steeped Coffee purchase comes with both cookbooks as a free download, for a limited time on the Steeped Coffee Website.

Steeped Coffee has been turning heads after winning ‘Best New Product’ at the 2021 Specialty Coffee Expo for its fully compostable Guilt-Free Packaging and brewing method. Steeped also won ‘Best of Show’ honors for all categories at the KeHE Summer On Trends® Show for specialty products, and recently received the NEXTY Award for ‘Best New Product’ in Tea and Coffee at the Natural Products Expo™. The Nick Stellino Italian Coffee blend joins more than 350 of the country’s top coffee roasters now available via the game-changing single-serve Steeped Brewing Method.

A SPECIAL WORD FROM CELEBRITY CHEF NICK STELLINO:

“When I think of the perfect cup of coffee, I think of a moment in time. A moment when somehow time seems to slow down, and every instant passes with a smile. I abandon myself at that moment, and in my soul, I believe everything will be alright.

Slowly, in a series of vivid but evolving bursts of flavor, I connect with the various layers of flavor in each sip of coffee that I take. My cup of coffee is nectar that slows time, puts a smile on my face, and brings back a bit of my lost optimism.

All this in a cup of coffee? In this case, it is not just a cup of coffee I am sipping on. Instead, it is a multigenerational story steeped in the family tradition of oakwood fire roasting, resulting in the exceptional artisan skills of the famous Italian Di Ruocco family. But the question remained: How can we make it taste like that by just brewing it in something that looks like a teabag, ready on-demand, one cup at the time?

Somehow by the will of God, all these elements came together without any planning of my own. Someone met someone at church, who talked to someone, who knew someone who knew me. "No way!” was my initial response when I was first approached. I went on with gusto, “No way this can be done!”

I was proven wrong. I enjoyed the taste so much, I had a unique blend created for me at the hand of Mr. Carlo Di Ruocco and his sons John and Luigi. They injected all of their passion and roasting skills into the making of this unique coffee blend.

Ron Scadina & Josh Wilbur (CEO) at Steeped Coffee brought us all together by sharing their own proprietary and innovative system, which we are using for this unique coffee brewing experience. One that matches flavor and convenience in each serving.

You will find your own moments in the day when all you need is a short little break, a quick reset, sipping on the perfect cup of coffee. I believe we can do that for you. Just add hot water, and in minutes, you will have the best cup of coffee you have ever had in your home.

This coffee is not for gulping. It is to be tasted sip by sip and to be enjoyed with a smile on your face. Yes, we can help you with that too.

Give it a try! It is fun, and it tastes great!”

—Nick Stellino

California-based Steeped Coffee has launched the “You Give, We Give” campaign to help fuel and lift the spirits of the frontline doctors, nurses, firefighters, police and first responders currently battling the Covid-19 crisis in California.

“You Give, We Give” invites people to gift Steeped Coffee Packs to those on the front lines, with Steeped matching all gifts, pack for pack, and providing free weekly deliveries directly to the hospitals, stations and clinics where they are needed most.

“We are always looking for ways Steeped can serve as a positive force for good. We were brainstorming ways to help when it dawned on us that Steeped Coffee could be a great option for the healthcare heroes working tirelessly around the clock to save lives,” said Josh Wilbur, founder and CEO of Steeped.

“People don’t want to use shared coffee pots right now, and those on the front lines don’t have time to make coffee runs during crazy long shifts. Sometimes a simple cup of great coffee can make a difference.”

Steeped Coffee is one of the only brewing methods that doesn’t require a machine, grinder, or special equipment to prepare premium coffee. Brewed similar to tea, Steeped Packs only need hot water to make a cup of barista approved coffee. Each pack contains hand roasted ground coffee that is nitro sealed for freshness in compostable packaging. The company’s proprietary brewing method bypasses any risks of using a communal coffee pot, which will be welcome news for anyone working on the front lines or in social spaces during this global crisis.

Steeped Coffee will kickstart “You Give, We Give” in the California Bay Area and the company hopes to expand giving efforts quickly by working with its national network of partnered roasters, some of which are already working on similar projects to help their local communities.

“There is no doubt we’ll never forget these times, but it’s what we do for others, even the small things, that will be remembered,” said Wilbur. “As a startup in these crazy times, Steeped is looking to do anything within reach to make a difference and encourage others to do the same. We’ve seen so many other selfless stories surface around the world that we know it will all add up to make a difference. We are in this together.”

In March 2020, Steeped also launched a “Stay Home, Stay Steeped” campaign to encourage customers to stay home by providing free home delivery on all coffee, cups, kettles and gear. This offer has been extended indefinitely as Steeped aims to help those adjusting to new rituals and routines while working from and staying at home.
