Our Solution: The First True ROAST-GRIND-BREW Platform
Disrupting the $7B Coffee Appliance and $30B Capsule Market
Outer Worlds Coffee collapses roasting, grinding, and brewing into a single, software-enabled platform that brings precision, real-time roasting into the home. By pairing intelligent roast algorithms with optimized green-bean consumables, we transform an abundant commodity into a recurring revenue stream — unlocking a new appliance category.
Roast-To-Brew in Minutes
The first integrated platform that ROASTS → GRINDS → BREWS in one seamless workflow. A breakthrough light-based vacuum roasting system enables instant brewing with true freshness. Roast-to-cup in under 5 minutes.
NASA Derived Technology
Based on work we did for NASA to quality control test solar panels on spacecraft, including the Parker Solar Probe currently on the closest man-made object trajectory orbiting the sun!
Software-defined Roasting
Smart cartridges and algorithms delivery consistent, personalized, specialty grade results. Not a prosumer device. Consumers don't need to learn roasting science. They press a button and the system will roast, grind, brew seamlessly.
Platform Economics
Hardware + consumables + software create recurring revenue while collapsing the traditional coffee supply chain.

Outer Worlds Coffee transforms green coffee from a commodity into a platform-controlled consumable.
- Optical roasting in airless vacuum environment
- Patents filed and additional trade secrets provide IP moat
- Hardware - consumable coupling
- Proprietary green-bean cartridge system and software controlled roast intelligence
- Ecosystem expandability within home, office, and travel
Green coffee supply is not a gating factor for this platform. Today, small-volume green beans are already widely accessible to consumers through multiple established channels—including major retailers like Amazon and Walmart, global coffee importers and distributors, specialty roasters, and select roast-equipment manufacturers. This existing ecosystem validates both availability and logistics at consumer scale.
Our cartridge system builds on this foundation by standardizing, qualifying, and optimizing green beans for in-home roasting, rather than inventing a new supply chain from scratch, we will source from multiple origins and partners to ensure redundancy, resilience, and price stability, while using software-defined roast profiles to manage natural variability across harvests. As volume scales, this approach enables tighter supplier partnerships and margin expansion—without introducing single-source risk.
In short, green beans are already abundant; our innovation is how they are packaged, optimized, and monetized, transforming an existing commodity into a platform-controlled consumable.
