Beautifully Bizzy 

We’re not going to hold back: Bizzy was undoubtedly our first choice when it came to selecting the best ground coffee for cold brew. This smooth, sweet blend, coarsely ground, makes excellent cold brew coffee. You can buy it in one pound or two pound packs, or, if you prefer, 12 ounces. The coarse grind means the cold brew comes out extra smooth.

You can choose to add more water if you’d like your cold brew on the weak side, or less water if you like the flavor round and robust. The coffee is 100% USDA certified organic. The Arabica beans are ethically sourced from Peru, Nicaragua, and Guatemala.

Bizzy Organic Cold Brew Coffee | Smooth & Sweet Blend | Coarse Ground Coffee | Micro Sifted | Specialty Grade | 100% Arabica | 1 LB
  • ENGINEERED FOR COLD BREW - Coarse ground coffee optimized for cold brewing to give you a consistent, extra smooth cold brew
  • BREW YOUR WAY - Brew your cold brew how you would like. Add more water for a less strong cold brew or less water for a stronger beverage.
  • 100% ORGANIC - USDA Organic, ethically sourced coffee from Guatemala, Peru, and Nicaragua.
  • SMOOTH AND SWEET - Arabica beans roasted medium with notes of caramel and hazelnut.
  • BIZZY COFFEE FOR BUSY PEOPLE - Mastering the cold brew craft, Bizzy Coffee will give you the highest quality cold brew coffee at the best price

You can choose from light, medium, or dark roasts, and the end result is 67% less acidic than traditionally-brewed coffee. Once brewed, the concentrate keeps very well in the fridge, ready to be used to get you going in the morning.

The medium roast has a sweet, nutty profile: you’ll be able to detect caramel and a hint of hazelnut (though the blend contains no hazelnuts). The long duration of the extraction method minimizes any bitterness while retaining the maximum of taste. It produced consistently delicious results.

 

The Pitter Patter Of Tiny…Footprints? 

How can you resist a coffee called “Tiny Footprint”? Well, our suggestion is, don’t even try: we all know resistance is futile. This certified USDA organic cold press elixir is a ground coffee that’s practically perfect for cold brew.

You have a choice of one pound or three pound packs, and ground or whole bean. This is also the world’s first carbon negative coffee. For each pound of coffee sold, a portion of the proceeds are donated to fund reforestation of the Mindo cloud forest in Ecuador.

Tiny Footprint Coffee - USDA Organic Cold Brew & Press Elixir - Ground Coffee, Carbon Negative, 16 Ounce
2,224 Reviews
Tiny Footprint Coffee - USDA Organic Cold Brew & Press Elixir - Ground Coffee, Carbon Negative, 16 Ounce
  • COLD BREW BLEND: A blend crafted perfectly for cold brew - our Cold Press Elixir is a mix of our light and dark roasts spiked with our best Ethiopian coffees.
  • ORGANIC COFFEE: USDA Organic, Fair Trade & Shade-Grown Arabica Coffee.
  • FLAVOR PROFILE: Sweet, silky richness with subtle flavor notes of bright fruit and floral tones infused in a cocoa like body.
  • SMALL BATCH ROASTED: Craft roasted in our vintage 90 kilo German-built Probat drum roaster retrofitted with modern fuel-efficient ribbon burners, delivering perfectly roasted coffee every time.
  • THE PERFECT BREW: Each pound brews 1.35 gallons of ready-to-drink cold brew (1:6 brew ratio and 1:1 dilution)

It’s shade grown and 100% organic. This blend combines dark and light roasts with the best coffees from Ethiopia. The body of the drink is cocoa-like, and the mouthfeel of the brewed beverage is silky, rich and sweet, with floral and fruity overtones.

The coffee is craft roasted, and each pound of coffee will give you around 230 fluid ounces of cold brew ready to enjoy. That’s assuming a ratio of 1 part coffee to 6 parts water, and once the brew is ready, diluting 1 part coffee solution to 1 part water.

The roasting all happens in Minneapolis, where the green credentials continue in everything from packaging to composting and waste reduction.

 

Cold Brew Classic 

Cold brew is one of those coffee varieties that benefits immensely from using a coarse grind, and we’re sticking with organic and coarse grounds for the Cold Brew Lab option. This Columbian Supremo from Cold Brew is a dark roast, and ships in a one or two pound coarse grind or whole bean option.

Summoning The Muse – Inspired Coffee 

Have you ever heard the theory that, once dismissed, it isn’t possible to just summon up the artistic muse at will? Well, we might not be so sure about the artist’s muse, but if you’re looking for inspiration, this coffee is a serious contender.

It takes a special palate to appreciate the understated elegance of French vanilla as a flavor – and half the delight is in the scent. As you’ll experience in this beautiful, subtle cold brew coffee blend from the aptly named Inspired Coffee Co.

French Vanilla - Flavored Cold Brew Coffee Grounds - Inspired Coffee Co
3,719 Reviews
French Vanilla - Flavored Cold Brew Coffee Grounds - Inspired Coffee Co
  • Flavored cold brew coffee grounds. Try all over our flavors!
  • We use a 3-to-1 ratio of water to grounds
  • Steep your grounds overnight for 12-24 hours for best flavor extraction
  • Inspired Coffee Co... the cold brew that inspires you!

This coarsely round coffee ships in a 12 ounce bag which is resealable, with an incorporated degassing valve to keep your coffee as fresh as can be, as long as can be. It’s not the cheapest option we investigated, but it is truly delicious.

It’s a 100% Arabica, and what’s more, it’s a single origin coffee. Colombian Supremo, to be exact. Not only with that lovely French Vanilla hint, but with lovely undertones of nutty flavor too. You might also detect just the merest soupçon of chocolate in there too. (We love the word soupçon. We think it’s especially appropriate for French vanilla.)

We found the best ratio for this coffee was 1 part coffee to 3 parts water for the initial brew and then, when ready, 1 part water to 1 part coffee solution. You can drink it black, of course, or with syrup, sugar, or any other additive you feel like. Including ice.

 

Stone Cold Sober – Stone Cold Jo 

Just because something’s described as “Stone Cold” doesn’t mean it has to be heartless. Quite the opposite, in fact, when it comes to Stone Cold Jo. This coarse ground, dark roast organic coffee will give you the characteristic low acid, smooth, silky flavor profile you crave in your cold brew.

It’s both USDA and Fair Trade Certified, as well as Non-GMO and Kosher. We found that it also worked great in a French Press as a hot brew.

  • This coffee is USDA Certified Organic, Fair Trade Certified, and Kosher Certified. Contact us for our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee!

The flavor profile of this blend is complex and gorgeous. We could detect toffee, grape, chocolate, and caramel in there. It ships in a 12 ounce pack or a 12 pound bag; there are even single-serve Keurig K-Cup brewer options available too. And the name tickled us too – why not brew up a batch of Joe with the aid of Stone Cold Jo?

Just a quick note about Jo Coffee – they’re a subsidiary of Specialty Java Inc., which was founded in 2002. Specialty Java belongs to the Specialty Coffee Association of America.

For this blend we found that the best ratio was 4 parts water to 1 part coffee, and either a French Press or a Mason jar worked pretty well. You mix, you stir, you cover. You refrigerate the mix for a minimum of 12 hours. You press. You filter. You enjoy.

We also found it was pretty scrumptious as a hot brew as well, and for that we used 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water in our French Press. Steeping time was around 4 to 5 minutes.

 

Stoney Brewed And Twice As Fragrant – Stone Street Coffee 

We’re staying with the stone theme for our next choice, which is another Colombian Supremo. Stone Street Coffee is a dark roast, whole bean coffee, coarsely ground. It makes for a truly kicking cold brew.

Need to get going in the morning? Need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up? Need an after dinner delight or an al fresco summer refresher? Stone Street Coffee’s your guy. Or rather, your coffee.

  • FRESHLY ROASTED IN BROOKLYN, NYC – Stone Street Coffee Company is specialty small-batch roaster, we’ve been making artisanal coffee since 2009.

You can opt for a 1 pound, 2 pound or 5 pound pack, and the 1 pound foil bag is resealable. So your beans stay fresh, fresh, fresh.

Oh, and if you’re wondering what the coffee bean variety is, it’s 100% Arabica. The coarseness of the grind allows for that long, slow extraction method that is key to a great cold brew.

You can find specialty roaster Stone Street right in the heart of Brooklyn, New York City. They’ve been there since 2009. Small batches are roasted fresh, so you know each bean literally gets individual attention.

It’s a sweet yet strong, super-smooth coffee. (We’re talking verging on suave here.) With this blend we found a ratio of 4 parts water to 1 part coffee worked well. And using a Mason jar gave us a good, robust brew which we could safely leave to steep in the fridge overnight. It was then ready for straining via strainer or cheesecloth (we’re purists. We often like to use both.)

 

Keeping It Real. Real Good, That Is. 

Keeping it simple with the next option, the variety we tried was a lighter roast than some of the others we tried, but perfect for breakfast time. There’s a choice of blends with Real Good Coffee – Breakfast Blend Light, Donut Shop Medium, French Roast Dark, or Organic Dark.

The company’s coffee beans come from Central and South America. After being grown, sourced and packed up responsibly, they’re shipped to Seattle, where the Real Good Coffee company craft roasts them to perfection. (They’ve got over 30 years of experience.)

  • Real Good Coffee Co: With over 30 years’ experience of coffee sourcing and craft roasting in Seattle, we make coffee, real good coffee, it’s that simple

The Breakfast Blend has a fresh and fruity citrus flavor with just a hint of cream and milk chocolate. It works well in moka pots, pour over machines, a French press, espresso machine, drip machine, and an Aeropress. And we can also vouch for it making great cold brew.

You need a coarse grind for a really good cold brew. (Medium will work fine in a drip pot, French press, or if you’re using the pour over method.)

 

Making The Grade – Grady’s Cold Brew 

We’re keeping it cool with the final choice in the main sequence, our Grady’s Cold Brew Iced Coffee Cold Brew Kit. This super-convenient pack of 12 adds up to a pound of coffee. It’s keto-friendly, unsweetened, and non-GMO.

If you want to give cold brew a try but you’re not sure about ratios of coffee to water, then this super easy brew-it-yourself kit is a great starting point. You’ll get 36 cups from every reusable “pour’n’store” pouch. All you need to do is add water direct to the pouch and leave in the fridge for the recommended amount of time.

The brewed beverage has a New Orleans style flavor, and if you’re in the mood for hot coffee rather than cold brew, you can still brew up a storm in these bean bags. All you need to do is make sure the bag is in a vessel that’s heat-resistant, and add 4-6 cups of boiling water depending on your taste.

So you can either wake up to a beautifully brewed breakfast beverage, steeped overnight, or you can wait 90 seconds or so and enjoy a hot drink. It’s a tiny bit pricier than some of our other options, but it’s oh, so worth it for the sheer convenience.

 

Dark And Desirable – Death Wish Cold Brew Cans 

Okay. We fibbed. Only a little though. And it wasn’t a malicious fib. That last choice wasn’t our real last choice after all. We couldn’t resist slipping in our first bonus: Death Wish Coffee, which is now available in – wait for it – cold brew cans.

This is marketed as, officially, the world’s strongest coffee, and you can buy a 4 pack of this very slightly sweetened delightful black beverage.

The Best Coffee Beans For Cold Brew: Practical Buying Guide

You’ve probably noticed a few common themes in the different beans we’ve sampled. If you’re new to the world of cold brew, though, how do you make that decision for yourself?

Fear not. We’re here to guide you through the maze of cold brew coffee beans.

 

What Is Cold Brew?

Although it’s been around since the 1840s, it’s not surprising that cold brew has become so popular in recent years. It’s one of the simplest, least labor intensive, and most elegant ways to make coffee. You need no heat, and the bare minimum of specialist equipment – unless you want to invest in the kit, of course.

In its simplest form, cold brew coffee is exactly what it says on the tin, as it were. It’s coffee, usually coarsely ground, steeped in cold water and stored in the fridge for at least 12 hours, sometimes up to 24 hours.

The best grind for cold brew is coarse – it makes for a long, slow extraction method. So you get all the flavor, with minimal, if any, bitterness.

 

The Right Coffee For Cold Brew – How To Choose

It goes without saying that great cold brew coffee starts with great coffee beans. You might have noticed we recommended a couple of Colombia Supremo options in our round-up – Colombian coffee is amongst the best. And this is where your personal taste comes in. When it comes to overtones, do you like fruity or floral? Chocolate or nuts?

Would you rather have Arabica beans only, or a divine melding of Arabica with Robusta? We know you’re looking for the best cold brew coffee beans, but is it also important that the blend you choose is suitable for hot coffee too? And if so, what brewing method is going to suit you – boil in a bag, with one of the kits, or a more traditional method like a French Press?

And then there are the certifications. Do you need Kosher, USDA Organic, Rainforest Alliance? (And why ARE frogs so important in that last case?)

How important is the roast – do you like it light, medium, or dark? Bear in mind that typically, and a little counter-intuitively, dark roasts are usually less bitter than light roasts.

The size of the pack might also be important. Do you need a large pack for a household of coffee drinking fiends, or a smaller pack for those who indulge only occasionally? And how about the ability to keep your beans fresh – look for the degassing valve on the packaging if that’s a factor.

 

Tricks And Tips For Great Cold Brew Coffee

We’ve established you need the best beans, to suit your palate. You also need fresh, cool water, preferably filtered. And a container with a lid so the coffee can steep in peace. Something like a mason jar, or a dedicated brewing mechanism, is perfect.

You’ll need to experiment a little with this, but typically the perfect ratio of coffee to water is something along the lines of 1 part coffee to 3 or 4 parts water. You can always add more water if you like it weak, or more coffee if you like it stronger.

 

Five Fun Facts About Cold Brew

  1. Even the unsweetened variety tastes sweeter.
  2. It’s higher in caffeine but lower in acidity than most regular coffee.
  3. Due to the lower acidity it’s not quite so harsh for those with sensitive stomachs.
  4. It makes great ice cream flavoring.
  5. The high caffeine content means it’s extra effective when it comes to dieting.

 

Best Coffee For Iced Coffee: Conclusions

Let’s be clear – cold brew coffee is not iced coffee. Iced coffee is traditionally made by pouring hot coffee over ice cubes or crushed ice.

With cold brew, the beans and the coarseness of the grind are of prime importance.  The best beans for cold brew have a robust flavor and typically produce a consistently smooth and delicious brew.

This is why our final recommendation of the best coffee for cold brew is Bizzy coffee. It makes a beautifully buzzy beverage for beautifully busy people.
