Cold Brew Coffee is sweet, rich, and smooth. It's slightly less acidic than regular coffee and it is super easy to make.

I recently learned about Cold Brew Kitchen, which is the first line of artisan coarse ground coffee specially curated for home cold brewing. They also sell whole bean blends as well as brewing accessories.
Through many years of trying different coffee blends, they have come up with the best blends to use for cold brewing. When you make a purchase through their site, you will receive a free filtering bag to make your cold brew coffee. (Offer not available through Amazon.)
This was my first time trying Cold Brew Coffee. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. The bag I received was the Elite Espresso blend. It had a deep, rich flavor.
Don't tell my husband, but this tasted way better than the coffee that he makes in our coffee maker! It was stronger, richer, and smoother than his, even a week after making it.
What I love about Cold Brewed Coffee is that it has less acidity than other brewed coffees because it is steeped for 12-24 hours. That's also what gives it a smooth, sweet, rich flavor.
Since I get heartburn if I drink coffee every day, I was excited to try some. Not only did I not experience heartburn, but I found the whole process really convenient.
