The Iced Coffee That Started It All

Switters Iced Coffee was born in 2014 thanks to Sheri, our fearless founder! Sheri & her partner Kyle had traveled through Southeast Asia and kept tasting iced coffees that were wildly better than what she was used to getting back home. She returned to the States obsessed (relatable) and began tinkering in her tiny NYC apartment, experimenting with grind sizes, water temps, and brew ratios to chase that same bold, refreshing flavor. She stumbled upon the Japanese iced coffee method (hot brewed, flash chilled) and that was the “aha!” moment. She packed up, moved to Nashville, and launched Switters. And thus, a new way to iced coffee was born!

How we went from from sweet & creamy to clean & customizable.

If you’ve been with us since the beginning (eyyy, we see you! *fist bump*) you’ll remember the OG Switters lineup. Back then, our iced coffees were sweet little things, brewed with sweetened condensed milk or honey, packed in glass bottles, and hand-filled by our small-but-mighty crew. But here’s the thing about being small: we listen closely to what our customers want! Over time, it became clear; people wanted clean black iced coffee they could personalize to make it their own.

So we pivoted! We dropped the sweeteners, let go of dairy, and introduced aluminum cans and pouches for the most convenient, clean, ready-to-drink iced coffee out there. Just coffee and water (and a few real ingredients when we get fancy and funky with our seasonals). No artificial flavors, no preservatives, no weird stuff.

Meet Nashville’s iced coffee microbrewery!

What makes us different? Well.. we’re not a coffee shop and we’re not a beer brewery. We’re an iced coffee microbrewery. Picture the shiny equipment and chill vibes of a craft beer brewery… but swap the hops for high-quality coffee. We’re brewing hot, flash chilling fast, and packaging in small batches. If you dropped by our space, you’d think we were making beer.. until the aroma of fresh coffee slaps you in the face (in the best way).

This space is built entirely for iced coffee. No dairy or sweetners, no alcohol or kombucha. Just a clean facility focused solely on brewing the best flash-chilled iced coffee possible. That’s how we ensure every batch is smooth, delicious, and completely consistent. Nothing funky. Ever.

FLASH CHILLED, NOT COLD BREW!

You’ve heard of cold brew. You’ve probably had it.

But we’re here to say: flash-chilled is where it’s at. Our method locks in the full spectrum of coffee’s flavors: bright acidity, sweet complexity, and a crisp finish! Without ever tasting watery or one-note. It’s the reason our coffee tastes great straight out of the can or pouch, no doctoring needed (unless you’re into that, which we totally support).

Learn more about the differences between Flash Chilled and Cold Brew.

We talk through what Flash Chilled coffee means on the blog HERE.

And we dive into The Family Tree of Iced Coffee HERE, if you're curious where Flash Chilled Coffee fits in.

For the coffee curious -AND- the coffee obsessed.

Whether you love the bold richness of our Dark Roast, the easy-drinking smoothness of Middle Ground, the complexity of our rotating Single Origins, or the festive vibes of our seasonal flavors... there’s something in our lineup with your name on it! And for our caffeine-free crew, we created a decaf that doesn’t taste like compromise. You’re welcome.

Using our innovative flash chilled brew method, and have continued to grow to make sure we are brewing delicious and unique coffees for everyone! We celebrate the versatility of coffee's many naturally occurring flavors by creating products using only 2 ingredients; specialty coffee and filtered water. That's all!

Our coffees can be familiar, comforting, and a totally unique experience all at the same time!
