The Best Coffee and Tools for Making Cold Brew At Home

Web_Size_jpeg-Cold Brew Bottle.JPG

Cold brew isn’t just one kind of coffee. It’s a brewing method, one that uses water and time to bring out a broad spectrum of coffee flavors. While you can cold brew any coffee, we handpicked a few to show the range of flavors possible along with tools so you can brew at home. 

The Best Coffees for Cold Brew

Hayes Valley Espresso

Yes, you can use an espresso blend for cold brew, and in fact, we recommend it. Our boldest brew, Hayes Valley emphasizes rich chocolaty flavors; we love it black, and it shines with a splash of milk and even a little sweetener.

Giant Steps

Another one of our bolder blends, Giant Steps emphasizes rich chocolaty flavors with notes of dark caramel. As with the Hayes Valley espresso, we love it black and it’s extra indulgent with milk.

Three Africas

This blend brings together the berry-like fruit of two coffees from Ethiopia and the authority of a coffee from Uganda to create a balanced brew. With or without milk? You decide.

Beta Blend 

This smooth, rounded blend produces the most balanced cold brew of the bunch. We like this one both with and without milk.

Playlist 

This bright blend makes for a brew so buoyant it floats. It’s radiant with mouthwatering berry-like flavors. This cold brew tastes best without milk.

The Art of the Blue Bottle Cold Brew

For those who want to explore cold brew more deeply, we create this guide to teach you brew theory as well as four different methods. The booklet starts with the simple and fail-safe yet delicious full-immersion method using our Hario Cold Brew Bottle. Then, we offer progressively more challenging approaches, from a more intense cold-brew concentrate, the base for our New Orleans-Style Iced Coffee, to the artful, almost boozy refinements of Oji, aka Kyoto-style slow drip. Brew cold brew like a pro.
