Folgers Dark Roast Coffee
Folgers. Its good. Its cheap, and we’re talking about cold brew. You literally can’t mess it up. -Indiana Jones, PhD
Folgers dark roast, goes on sale all the time. My girlfriend and I make our own sweetener (sugar water + sometimes flavor) to mix in. Great for summer! -polobunny
Starbucks Timor Mount Ramelau Ground Coffee
As a coffee coffee addict I LOVE this particular coffee for cold brew. It’s well balanced and Smooth! Easier to drink than Starbucks own cold brew concoction -Covfefe
Stone Street Dark Roast Cold Brew Reserve
I agree with reader Iconoclysm that Stone Street’s beans are best for the brew; it tastes damn good, and comes already ground. But I’ll let them explain:
Stone Street Coffee Cold Brew Reserve. This stuff never tastes bitter but has a serious punch and plenty of flavor. Also comes pre-ground specifically for cold brewing. -Iconoclysm
