Cold Brew Coffee is one of my favorite drinks.

Great with breakfast, hot afternoon, or even just to sip on while sitting on my porch.

I do love a good cold brew from Starbucks or Dunkin, however it can hurt the wallet if you do it every day! Running between $2-4, depending on the time of day, and if you add milk or flavoring. If I drink a single cold brew every single work day that’s between $44-88 out of my pocket!

Instead of wasting between $44-88 a month I decided it was time to cut back and start making cold brew batches at home! I’ve tried many different techniques from using a single serve mesh coffee infuser to using my french press.

With multiple batches made, and recipes tried I’ve finally find the perfect recipe with the best equipment.
