Frequently Asked Questions
Beverage Questions
How do I drink ultrasonic brews?
All drinks have a concentrate factor on the label. Our current protocol and batch of bottles have a 8x-16x concentration. To make a single cup, add 1-2 tablespoon to a cup and then fill with hot or cold water and any other additions. Adjust to taste. An 8oz bottle of our brews can expand out to a half-gallon to a galon total of brew.If using hot water, you want it to be close to sippable ~160°F (71°C) and not boiling over before adding to the concentrate. Since we do not use heat to extract, we preserve the heat sensitive contents of our brew. High temperature, boiling water will significantly damage and alter the flavors in your beverage over time.
If you finish the bottle with grounds left in the bottom, adding back in hot ~160°F (71°C) water will get you a couple extra cups worth of brew.
Our products generally have more undamaged, naturally fat and sugar from the brew than a typical extraction, so one should add a bit less of both creamer and sugar than usual.
How do I store ultrasonic products?
All bottles are to be refrigerated while closed or opened. This will ensure you get the maximum flavor and longevity of the product to the dates listed on the bottle. It should last 12 months from when we produced the concnetrate and three months opened.Is there any added sugar?
No. Our coffees and teas contain no sugar and any drink that might in the future will be clearly labeled as such.The one exception being our broths, which contain a typical, small amount of sugar.
Do you have organic options?
Yes we do. All recipes using an organic ingredient will be labeled as such in their description. We strive to get the most inclusive ingredients whenever we can, including organics.

Are there any health benefits to ultrasonics?
Ultrasonic's raw yet still highly destructive extraction enables you to get more of whatever brew ingredients while preserving the extraction better than other methods. More extraction means more of whatever benefit you are looking at.In addition, the low acidity of the beverages aids in general gut health and comfort while drinking.
Finally, enhanced storage time means you will get a healthy-to-drink drink for longer.
What kind of ultrasonicator machine do you use?
I use a ultrasonicator that is could be used in a molecular biology lab. It has food safe and cleanable parts in keeping with the needs of a sanitary lab environment, and a kitchen.Other uses for this machine include purifying proteins, cleaning of machine parts, and sanitizing dentistry tools equipment.
