LOS ANGELES, U.S. – Bruvi, a next generation single-serve coffee system that claims to offer noticeably tastier coffee and eco-friendly pods, announced yesterday it successfully secured $2.2M in seed round funding at the end of July, 2020. Bruvi will use the funds primarily for manufacturing capital investment as it works toward a Q3 2021 national launch.
Coffee is America’s favorite beverage, with 8 of 10 cups consumed at home. The single-serve industry is currently a $6B market with near term potential for 2.5X growth.
“2020 is a challenging year, yet investors agreed that Bruvi is perfectly positioned for success as consumers increasingly look to drink more and better coffee at home,” said Mel Elias, Co-Founder of Bruvi. “Bruvi is first and foremost, a coffee company. Our mission is to upgrade the at home coffee experience, with breakthrough brewing technology, better coffee and more eco-consciousness along with the convenience of single-serve.”
Bruvi expertly brews filter coffee, espresso, Americanos, iced coffee, infused coffee and tea plus the world’s first cold brew from a single-serve system. B-Pods® will offer super premium, ethical and sustainably sourced coffee as well as licensed brand partners.
Bruvi also cracks the code on delivering great coffee with a connected single-serve system: an IOT smart device, mobile app-connected and Wifi enabled. Consumers can brew remotely, auto order pods and access a user dashboard of consumption patterns.
In addition to this round, Bruvi previously raised $950k in pre-seed funding in 2019.
