As the sun shines brighter and temperatures climb higher, coffee lovers everywhere seek a refreshing alternative to their usual steaming cup of joe. Enter cold brew coffee — a smooth, chilled delight that's perfect for the warm summer months. At Eighteen Grams, we're passionate about elevating your coffee experience, and we believe that cold brew is the perfect way to enjoy your favorite beverage when the heat is on.

Why Cold Brew?

Cold brew is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period, usually 12 to 24 hours. This method results in a coffee that is less acidic and bitter than its hot-brewed counterpart, offering a naturally sweeter and smoother taste. Here are some compelling reasons to make the switch to cold brew this summer:

Refreshingly Smooth

The cold brewing process highlights the bold flavors while maintaining a smooth finish. This makes it an excellent choice for those who prefer a less acidic and more mellow cup.

Versatile and Customizable

Cold brew is versatile enough to be enjoyed on its own, with milk or cream, or even as part of a creative coffee cocktail. You can also experiment with different coffee blends to tailor your brew to your taste preference. For a delightful experience, consider trying our Coffee Taster 3 Pack featuring single-origin beans like Popayan, Mandheling, and Yirgacheffe.

Convenient and Time-Saving

Once you’ve made a batch, cold brew can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks, meaning you’ll have a delicious cup of coffee ready when you need it. This makes it a convenient choice for busy summer mornings when you're on the go.

Naturally Energizing

Cold brew typically has a higher caffeine concentration than regular iced coffee, providing a natural energy boost to keep you refreshed and alert throughout long summer days.

Choosing the Right Blend

Selecting the right coffee blend is crucial to enjoying the best cold brew. Our Blend 213 Signature Blend offers a medium roast with a smooth finish and nice crema, making it an ideal choice for cold brew enthusiasts. Its balanced flavor profile complements the cold brewing process, delivering a consistently delicious drink.

For those looking to enjoy all the flavors of coffee without the caffeine, our Swiss Water Decaf Whole Bean Coffee offers a 100% Arabica blend from Mexico. This medium roast option ensures you don't have to sacrifice taste for caffeine-free enjoyment.
