How to Make Cold Brew

New to cold brew? Start with our Medium Roast blend — its balanced, smooth character is ideal for a first brew.

1 Use a 1:7 ratio — one pound of coarsely ground coffee to 34 oz of cold water. Cold brew absorbs a lot of liquid, so higher volumes are essential. Combine in a jug or mason jar.
2 Let it steep at room temperature for at least 16 hours. Patience is the secret ingredient.
3 Strain through a V60 or Chemex filter for a clean, sediment-free finish.
4 Refrigerate immediately. Enjoy within two weeks — oxidation dulls the flavor over time.

☕ Brew Tip

Don't be afraid to experiment. Some people prefer a stronger 1:5 ratio steeped for just 8 hours. Grind size, steep time, and ratio all interact — small adjustments lead to big flavor differences. Try a few batches and dial in your perfect cold brew.

"Cold brew isn't just a method — it's a mindset. Slow, deliberate, and worth the wait."

Sweet Cream Directions

Sweet cream is incredibly easy to make and transforms your cold brew into a café-worthy drink. Our base recipe is unflavored, but feel free to add a touch of vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut syrup to the mix — or just add 1½ tablespoons directly to your cup before pouring.

Mix ½ cup of 2% milk (or condensed milk) with ½ cup of heavy cream. Whip to your desired froth level. Fill your glass ¾ with cold brew, then float the sweet cream on top. That's it.
