Colombian Cold Brew Ground Coffee, Dark Roast, 1 Lb

A couple of months ago, I was at an event where a coffee vendor was giving out free samples of cold brew coffee. I had never heard of it, so I decided to try it and woah did I like it! I was not a very big coffee drinker because my cup has to be 75% cream and 25% coffee before I can drink it, but not with cold brew, I can drink it black. I kept thinking about how much I liked it and decided to look into buying some for myself to make at home. After reading a couple of articles, this coffee brand kept showing up, so I came on Amazon and saw the many, many 5 star reviews. I finally pulled the trigger and ordered some. The smell is heavenly, I wish I could smell it all day long, it's really that good. I have a french press, so that's what I used to make my cold brew. It doesn't come with instructions on the bag, but it is on the Amazon listing (1:4 ratio with water). My french press is broken at the top, so after I put in 1 cup of grounds and 4 cups of water, I put cling wrap over it and put it in the fridge. I let mine sit for 12-13 hours and it seems perfect for me! After straining it, I usually put it in a large bottle and back into the fridge. When I am making my cups, I will usually do about half coffee and half water, it works for me and tastes delicious :)! If you are new to cold brew or are just trying to find a brand you like, I highly, highly recommend this one. It's totally worth it!

It’s very bold! But I use it for cold brew and is absolutely delicious.

Great Coffee for cold brewing. Nice lightly sweet flavor, non bitter. Honestly the first coffee I have been able drink black with no cream or sugar. I love it!

My brother gave me a cold brew coffee maker for Christmas -- he also gave me a bag of coffee but using two cups for each pitcher quickly depleted the little bag. I decided to try this and I could smell the difference as soon as I opened the bag. I've already made one pitcher and now brewing the second full pitcher tonight. I put skim milk in a big insulated glass and then add enough cold brew coffee which gets me through my morning -- delicious and smooth. You won't regret moving to cold brew coffee.

First I'd like to explain that, I am obsessed with cold brew coffee, It's the only kind of coffee I drink anymore, and I have at least 1 cup per day. Over the past year, I've tried 67 different kinds/Brands of cold brew coffee (yes, I've kept track and written them down); some that I have made myself using my cold brew system (all purchased from Amazon or local stores) and some made by local coffee shops (where they just hand me a cup of cold brew coffee (typically with ice). It's worth noting that I ONLY ever mix my cold brew coffee with water or ice, I never use sweeteners, milk or creamers; just the coffee concentrate with water. This way I get the true taste of the coffee. Now that you understand just how obsessed I am with cold brew coffees, here's my review of this Stone Street Cold Brew Coffee: This coffee is, by far, THE MOST DELICIOUS cold brew coffee I have come across. And that's saying a lot, especially since I've tried (as mentioned above) 67 different brands and types of cold brew (including this one). I will continue to try other brands and types of cold brews but so far this is, BY FAR, the best one I've tasted. The flavor is rich and pure and doesn't have slight hints of aluminum, plastic or other artificial flavors like many of the other ones I've tried do... It's really difficult for me to put into words exactly what I mean but the bottom line is that this one just (somewhat magically to me) fresh and pure. I should also point out that I am a big fan of the dark roast, so if you're not into dark roast, you might try another one... but still: If you don't like the dark roast-y flavor (which, btw, is not too intense in this one) then add a bit of milk or cream (maybe combined with a small amount of water or ice depending on your preference) and give this one a shot anyway :) I bet you'll like it! Last note: If anyone has any other brands or types of cold brew suggestions, leave a comment! :) I'm always searching for more to try!

The first thing you notice about Stone Street Coffee is the rich, intoxicating smell that can't be contained in the pouch that it comes in. I am definitely not a coffee connoisseur, but I press my coffee and was looking for a course-ground type to use in my press. I couldn't get over the how good Stone Street smelled! When I took my first sip, it was nirvana, so smooth, so lovely - not a hint of bitterness to be found. My best friend is so addicted to it, that every time he visits, he texts me ahead of time to make sure I get some Stone Street going in the press beforehand. If my daughter tries to steal a sip, I kid you not - he actually lifts his lip and snarls at her. I have drank a LOT of coffee over the years of my life. I have tried every method of brewing from instant, to drip, to the old-fashioned church-type percolators, and the good 'ol K-cup. NOTHING beats Stone Street in a press. It's worth the effort, and good enough that you can drink it straight. No need to drown it a "flavor-of-the-month" creamer. You will never find yourself pouring the last few swallows down the kitchen sink before rushing out the door to get to work. You'll risk being late, or you'll buy a Yeti just to take it with you - it's that good.

*Will edit as I progress: Following the instructions as closely as I could manage, I just get dingy, dirty-pot tasting coffee. For reference, I enjoy Starbucks cold brew as well as Stok cold brew, although it's a little on the weak side (I do love the smoothness and the almost pH-neutral taste it has though). My process: 32 oz mason jar with 3 cups filtered water, 3/4 cup grounds. Mix and steep in refrigerator for 12-14 hours. Filter via thin paper coffee filter and store in airtight container. Results: Concentrate is completely unpalatable. Literally spat it violently into the sink and rinsed my mouth out. Can be diluted 2:1 and mixed with enough sugar and cream that the nasty taste is muted and I'm basically drinking a water-sugar-cream mixture with a mild dirty-coffee undertone... Edit 1: cut the concentrate 50%, so 1 part water, 2 parts concentrate, then sweetened with 10g sugar/12 oz. actually tastes much better. Still not great. Still seems... like a very dark roast. Upping review to 3 stars. Will continue experimenting.

I have not stopped making cold brew since I got my hands on this brand. I’ve tried so many different brands and after reading a handful of articles where this brand kept popping up, I had no other choice than to try it. So glad I did! -Fills your kitchen with a high end roast aroma - Tastes as smooth and sleek as it looks - Overall quality exceeded my expectations and the boost of caffeine is unbeatable
