The Cat in Cloud Coffee podcast is sponsored by Steeped Coffee. Steeped Coffee is a new brewing method.

It combines specialty craft coffee into a single serving bag. You don't need a machine. You don't

have to make a mess. All you have to do is add hot water wherever you go. Each seatpack is

individually sealed. It's nitrogen flush, so it stays fresh, and it's got this special

full immersion filter, and the filter is ultrasonic sealed, which means it's sealed together

Steeped is a benefit B Corp. They ethically source all their coffee, their packaging is fully compostable,
