The Story
In recent years, many have opted to trade in their morning hot brewed cup of coffee for a cup of iced coffee. The bravest among us have gone all the way up to cold brew, a hyper-concentrated form of coffee that promises to keep your eyes open on a long meeting day.
Not to mention, with 24 hours to brew, cold brew coffee picks up a lot more flavor than regular coffee, letting you appreciate parts of the bean that you never knew were there.
Best of all, cold brew is easy to make once you have your setup ready and stores well, making it a go-to that lasts a while in the fridge, so that you can start the day with the perfect kick.
¡Provecho!

thoughts before starting
What kind of flavor do you want in your cold brew coffee? With cold brew, less is more because the flavor is so concentrated from the 24 hour brew cycle.
Coffees with less added flavor will taste best as a cold brew. (Try Starbucks Breakfast Blend)
