Cold Brew
Cold Brew, Your Way
Cold brew is simple. All it takes is coarsely ground beans, cold water, a container (think mason jar), a filter—and time. That’s it. No fancy gadgets. No heat. Just patience and a fridge. After 12–24 hours, you’ll have a smooth, low-acid brew that’s ready to drink over ice, with milk, or straight-up bold. See our FAQ on cold brewing to become a know-it-all.

Cold Brew vs. Iced Coffee: What’s the Difference?
Not all cold coffee is created equal.
Cold brew is brewed cold—from start to finish. Coarse-ground beans steep in cold water for 12 to 24 hours, resulting in a smooth, low-acid cup with natural sweetness and a mellow finish. It’s less bitter, more forgiving, and perfect for sipping straight or mixing with milk (or maybe OATLY).
Iced coffee starts hot—it’s brewed just like your morning cup, then chilled over ice. It’s brighter, often more acidic, and has a faster prep time. Great when you want something quick with a little bite.
Cold brew is slow, smooth, and low-acid. Iced coffee is fast, bright, and classic.
