You think you like coffee, but you really just like sugary milk.

Cold brew with a splash of half n half is the way to go. I get about 8 days' worth of coffee for around $6.

Or if im feeling backed up, I make a hot cup in the french press and paint the guest room toilet.

Haha, I use these for backups when I’m running late for work, but I wouldn’t have got them if they weren’t BOGO

That's why i go cold brew. One batch lasts 2 days, and i just made a new batch on the second day.

Occasionally, i forget to make it, and i steal a celsius from my wife shhhhh

Do you have a good cold brew recipe? I might have to try that!

u/Born2Regard 21d ago

Yep, course ground coffee and cold filtered water. Leave to steep in the fridge for 12 hours.

Ive never done anything fancy with it

I do 3.2 oz of coffee for 6 cups of water

I make cold brew in the French press. It's so delicious.

Like... cold water pressed into groubds or make it hot and then refrigerate?

u/Greyattimes 20d ago

I put the cold water and ground beans into the French press, stir it up, then I put the press in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. The grounds and the water infuse when it sits for 12 hours. Then I press it, and I have 4 days of cold coffee. I only drink 1 large cup a day though lol.

What is cold brew? Just like cold espresso shots that you add milk too?

u/DotteSage 21d ago

AFAIK it’s brewing with chilled water vs hot. You want to do it the night before to brew it properly

I have it at my dollar store and it’s pretty decent and a good price. Compared to the Starbucks minis which do taste good

I think it’s closer to cold drip coffee but I’m not sure. It tastes good though. It’s cold brew because it’s brewed cold, usually. You can technically make it in the fridge.

u/Wooden-Advance-1907 21d ago

I want to try it now!

u/fearlessactuality 20d ago

I think it’s more affordable to! You should!

That or coffee concentrate, can use with milk to satiate the milk thirst without the sugar
