    Coffee Innovation Redefined: Spirit Infused Coffee Line

    Fire Department Coffee is redefining the coffee industry by releasing the first ever Spirit Infused Coffee Line!

    For it’s flagship release, FDC will be featuring three different infused coffees: bourbon, tequila, and rum infused, each with their own unique flavors and aroma.

    The Bourbon Infusion has the delicious smoothness of bourbon and the best part is you can drink it in the morning without feeling guilty. The Rum Infusion takes you straight to tropical shores with the kick of caffeine that you need to get the job done. The unique Tequila Infusion conveys the delicious complexity of the drink you know and love, with hints of lime and a crisp, sweet finish.

    Fire Department Coffee Redefines the Coffee Infusion Process
    Their new Spirit Infused Coffee uses groundbreaking infusion techniques to impart never before tasted flavors.

    Fire Department Coffee is excited to announce the launch of their Spirit Infused Coffee Line. At Fire Dept. Coffee, they strive to not only provide the best tasting, easiest drinking coffee on the market, but to also be on the cutting edge of coffee innovation.

    “We’ve created a revolutionary infusion process unlike anything done before,” said Fire Department Coffee co-founder Luke Schneider. “Our Spirit Infused Coffee is set to redefine coffee innovation across the coffee industry.”
    For its flagship release, they are featuring three different infused coffees each with its own unique flavor and aroma.
    • Bourbon Infusion — Experience the smoothness of bourbon every morning without feeling guilty.
    • Rum Infusion — Be transported to tropical shores while getting just the right kick of caffeine to get the job done.
    • Tequila Infusion — Complex and delicious, this unique infusion holds hints of lime and ends with a crisp, sweet finish.


    The new line is made using a proprietary infusion process that’s quite different from traditional cask barrel aging, which often infuses an overly harsh flavor from the charred wood interior of the barrel.

    “Consumers will taste the flavor they love with none of the negatives of the barrel aging process,” said Schneider. “Just the smooth Fire Dept. Coffee they’ve come to love imbued with the delicious smells and tastes of bourbon, tequila, or rum.”

    This new process will give Fire Dept. Coffee the chance to experiment, and plans are already in the works for limited edition releases featuring other favored spirits. Those interested in learning more about their future releases can follow their Instagram and Facebook pages.

    “Here at Fire Dept. Coffee, we pride ourselves on our work to create coffee that the working class can be proud to drink,” said Schneider. “We are positive that the Spirit Infused Coffee Line will be right at home among our other quality products.”
