... or you make the cold brew yourself.
For just one cup of cold brew for the next morning, I grind about 20 gr. of coffee, and add 80 gr. of cold water from the tap. One gentle stir, and then the cup goes in the refrigerator for the night. The next morning, I pour the coffee through a paper filter, add ice, perhaps some sugar syrup and/or a little milk.
That's just for one cup. Blue Bottle Coffee has a recipe on their site using a pound of ground coffee. The result can be stored for at least 5-6 days in the refrigerator.
Cons: Doesn't have as good a taste
Pros: Stomach acid is lower than warm brew, prep time: 30s w/milk + sweetener, and I take it cold so I don't need a double-wall mug, just a large strawcup. If I want warm, I heat the milk beforehand.
So far so good - costs have been less than buying beans for my espresso superautomatic much less packets for a keurig/nespresso.
