Anyone have tips for straining at home so it’s not so cloudy? Cheesecloth did not get all the grit out for me.
What was your setting when you ground the beans? They need to be coarse not fine ground.
I thought I set it to coarse, but maybe I didn’t! I’ll try again.

My local coffee shop sells growlers which is significantly cheaper than buying individual cups. So no need to compromise.

I make cold brew for the week. Takes about 5 min the night before and 5 min the next morning, including the time it takes to wash the dishes. We got a French press, which makes the straining much easier, but before that, I just brewed it in a pitcher and strained it through cheesecloth.

La Colombe has great cold brew. I’ve tried making it at home some summers but when I did the math it wasn’t much cheaper and was nowhere near as good! I get their regular cold brew by the gallon but you can also buy the cans at Giant.

I haven’t seen this in my MD store, but when we lived in FL it was at Publix and is the BEST! https://coolbrew.com/

NP and I do this every day. I drink it on my way to work. So much cheaper and no waiting on lines.

I like the concentrated Chameleon (yes, I'm a sucker for vanilla) and Wandering Bear. I also sometimes get the Whole Foods brand or Trader Joe's ones which are ok.

I'm addicted to the La Colombe canned triple shot lattes - it's my main reason for going to Costco ($16 for a case of 12).

We really like the Dunkin Donuts brand, which is surprising because I don't really like their in-house coffee. We get it black to use our own milk/creamer.
I have tried multiple versions of the Stok brand but it just wasn't strong enough.

+1 I came here to post just this! We get it from Target. I actually walked by Starbucks running errands and wanted to go in bc it’s just become a ritual but decided I preferred my Stok at home.

And coffee shops are notoriously over priced especially for anything that's not a regular cup of Joe.
Nothing new.

I agree. This is my favorite. However, I noticed that all of the bottles of premade cold coffee are now like $6-7 at the grocery store! It’s ridiculous. I stopped buying it and I just brew my own hot coffee (strong) and refrigerate it. It’s a little dorky and simplistic but it works fine to have throughout the week.
I'm sorry it's dorky and simplistic to brew your own coffee at home? So to be cool you have to order some fancy thing with 7 specific instructions?? This fancy coffee trend is out of hand and 95% of it tastes terrible.
