Key Features
1. Perform Better, Recover Faster
Each serve of Stiir Pure Performance Coffee delivers 180mg (+/- 10mg) caffeine to support both mental and physical performance, as well as 160mg (+/-10mg) polyphenols, which are linked to reducing inflammation, delaying the onset of muscle soreness and accelerated recovery from exercise.
2. Support Wellbeing
Polyphenols are potent antioxidants that combat harmful free radicals, helping reduce inflammation and promote heart health by improving blood vessel function. They also contribute to brain health and have potential in cancer prevention. With 160mg of polyphenols per serve, Stiir isn't only a performance coffee, but an all-natural contribution to overall health and wellbeing.
3. Precision Dosing System
Recent research has revealed “huge” differences in the amount of caffeine in coffees. Stiir guarantees a precision caffeine dose that consumers can trust.
4. Quality & Taste
Stiir features a hybrid specialty blend of arabica and canephora beans quality checked by experts and independently tested with a graded score of 80+. It is enriched with a premium aroma and flavour, blending fine taste with functional benefits.
Stiir x Edge Creations
In the rapidly growing coffee market, it's not just about flashy marketing or sharp branding. What matters equally, if not more, is an exceptional product with proven, evidence-based benefits.
Today's consumer is savvy. They're looking for genuinely standout products in a crowded marketplace, while also craving truth, transparency and credibility.

Their Thoughts
"We have worked with Scott and his team at Edge Creations to provide support with our nutritional scope, brand amplification and product development.
I cannot recommend the team more highly - they go above and beyond!
They’ve helped with everything from ingredient formulations and new product development through to brand positioning and narratives, introducing their network, and helping us secure high quality investment - the list is endless and we’re only at the beginning of our journey.
For any company looking to optimise their brand or product, look no further than the team at The Edge HPL, who are not only working with the latest scientific advancements (as well as an amazing roster of clients!), but are just an incredible team to work with."

Our Thoughts
We saw this as a great opportunity to partner with a highly innovative, science-engaged brand that is making big steps in the industry.
The team behind Stiir are top-tier and focussed on building products that are backed by credible research. I’m so impressed that they’re even doing their own controlled research studies, which we are proud to help them navigate. To me, this shows they’re serious and invested in their products, since conducting scientific studies won’t tell you what you WANT to see, but it’ll tell you what really works and what doesn’t. Testing and iterating over the product is so important and Stiir are doing exactly that.
It was inspiring to see our team mesh with Stiir’s to deliver science-backed solutions. I’m hugely proud of what we have achieved together so far, and look forward to helping them push the boundaries as they evolve.
