Organic Cold Brew & Press Elixir | Blend of Light & Dark Roasts | Shade-Gown Ground Coffee, Carbon Negative, 16 Ounce

This is our house choice for cold brew beans. The flavor is complex and well-balanced with chocolate notes when brewed for 16-18 hours. Experiment with your brew time to get the exact flavor profile you are seeking. We have been ordering for about a year now and find the quality, roast, and freshness to be consistent. Be aware that these beans do produce quite a bit of papery husk when ground which can be a bit messy. Even so, this is still our favorite coffee hands-down and is worth a bit of cleanup.The true measure of a coffee’s worth is how you feel when you must drink something else. This coffee has ruined me for travel—nothing else even tastes like coffee anymore, cold brew or not. No matter how awesome the trip, I am always thankful to get back home to my Tiny Footprint cold brew. Give this one a try—it is truly unmatched and could become your new house brew of choice.

I use this primarily for cold brew coffee, and it's fantastic!Here's a really simple recipe for cold brew coffee:1. Add 2/3 cup of ground coffee beans to a French press2. Add 3 cups of room temperature water (filtered water is best)3. Lightly stir the grinds - a chopstick or small spoon works well4. Place the French press plunger on top, but DON'T press the plunger down yet5. Let the coffee sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours6. Press down on the plunger and push all the grounds to the bottom7. Pour out your liquid gold and enjoyBe sure to store any cold brew in a separate container in the refrigerator, as it's not ideal to store it in the french press with old grounds. Pro tip: The coffee grounds are great to put in a small bowl to "de-funk" your fridge. Just leave them in there uncovered for a day or two, and your fridge will be smelling great.Overall, this coffee has a great flavor when cold brewed - not bitter, but rather chocolatey with some nice complex notes. It's also great knowing that this company has a "negative footprint" when it comes to obtaining this coffee, and thousands of trees are planted as a result. Organic, great tasting coffee without harm to the environment. I'd say that's a win.Great product; highly recommended. 5 stars.

The coffee was used with a coarsely ground cold brew method. The coffee was allowed multiple times to process for at least 20 hours or more per batch. The coffee has a bright flavor with citric notes, it is not my favorite type but others may like it a lot. As with a lot of things, taste is based upon individual palates. It did not give me a stomach ache so I give it an extra star just for that.

I started cold brewing a few months ago because I started fasting and dieting. I drink this black every morning. It's strong, one small glass wakes me up and it tastes great. I don't see a reason to even try another brand at this point, I'll definitely be sticking with this coffee.

Excellent coffee. Use it with my cold brew maker I also got off Amazon, and I put some sugar free caramel and hemp milk in my coffee and have the perfect substitute for 10 cents a day instead of $7/day coffee I would get at Black Rock. It also feels good to know that while this coffee is smooth, rich, potent and extremely delicious - it is also engaging in charitable work which obviously makes me feel better about buying from this company.

Cold brew is not new to me. I've been brewing and experimenting with different coffees for over two years. The basic recipe that I start with is 64 oz filtered water and 2 cups of coffee, typically a medium-fine grind like what you would use for a drip machine. With 64 oz of water, I lose about 20oz ish to absorption of water into the grounds. At the end, I have between 48oz and 55oz of drinkable coffee. The coffee is poured into a Yeti with ice and about 4 oz of milk. Thats it.. each time. So when I compare coffees, it's always the same when I start. After much experimentation, I settled on Sumatra as my "Go to" coffee. It's strong and a bit aggressive with nice chocolate overtones and virtually no acid. Everything I taste is rated from this baseline. This coffee is a very coarse grind and pretty light in color, unlike Sumantra which is almost black. This leads to something that looks more like dark tea than coffee. Its also more acid after 24 hours than the Sumatra. I keep looking for floral notes like Blue Bottle which is light roast but too delicate for me but they are not there. I could play with the ratios but even at the basic level, I don't think coffee is as good as claimed. The story is great and I love going my money to someone like this vs a large corporation but life is too short for poor tasting coffee. I short I went back to Sumantra or Murdered Out coffee from Black Rifle Company

I'm not a coffee afficionado but I do enjoy it from time to time.I'm currently cutting back on the number of sodas I have a day to see if I can cut them out for good but I still needed caffeine for the headaches.Enter in cold brewed coffee. I tried it with my regular ground coffee from the grocery store but it was just eh. It was kind of bitter and needed lots of cream to enjoy. So I googled, I searched and read and read. I stumbled upon an article that led me to this coffee right here. And I am SO glad I found it.The negative carbon footprint was a selling point but when I got the package in from Amazon and I could smell the grounds through the box - I knew I found it. I cleaned out my cold brew maker and put some of this in there and let it sit for 15 hours in my fridge.What came out was a beautiful elixir; smooth and extremely good tasting. Like I said, I'm not a coffee drinker but this may have converted me.I added non dairy creamer and some coconut milk whipped cream to the top and it was so dang good. I no longer need to spend $6 on a coffee at coffee shops.
