Private Selection Cold Brew Coffee Espresso Roast
What it is
This is a specially roasted coffee, designed for cold brewing. It is made from carefully selected beans that are roasted to bring out a deep, rich flavor profile. The espresso roast indicates a darker roast level, which typically results in a bolder taste. This product is pre-ground, making it convenient for immediate use in cold brew preparation. The beans are sourced and processed to create a smooth, less acidic coffee concentrate.

- Dessert flavoring
- Smoothie ingredient
To make cold brew, combine the ground coffee with cold water in a pitcher or jar. A common ratio is one part coffee to four parts water, but this can be adjusted to your preference. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated. Cover the container and let it steep in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the concentrate will be. After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter to remove all sediment. This creates a smooth, potent coffee concentrate.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to hot-brewed coffee, cold brew coffee is typically less acidic and smoother. The espresso roast further enhances the boldness and depth of flavor, making it ideal for those who prefer a strong coffee taste. The cold brewing process itself extracts different flavor compounds than hot water, leading to a naturally sweeter and less bitter profile.
Who it is for
Home baristas and coffee enthusiasts who enjoy making their own coffee beverages will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Store the unused portion of this coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, away from moisture and strong odors. For optimal freshness, it is best to use it within a few weeks of opening. If you have prepared a large batch of cold brew concentrate, keep it refrigerated in a sealed container.
