The monthly surprises, unique flavors, convenience, high-quality coffees, and affordable price point make it a must-try for anyone who loves coffee. Join the Perk Box community today and discover a new world of coffee flavors!
]]>1. Cold brew coffee is steeped, not brewed. Unlike hot coffee, cold brew coffee is not brewed in a coffee maker. Instead, coffee grounds are steeped in room temperature water for several hours. This process releases the flavor of the coffee without the bitterness that hot water can produce. The result is a smooth, refreshing drink that is perfect for a hot summer day.
2. It takes longer to make cold brew coffee than hot or iced coffee. Since cold brew is steeped rather than brewed in a machine, it takes longer than the typical several minutes to pop in a k-cup or brew some grounds. Cold Brew Coffee requires a steeping time of 12 to 24 hours. This means that you need to plan ahead if you want to enjoy a cold brew coffee.
3. Cold brew coffee is less acidic. One of the benefits of cold brew coffee is that it's less acidic than hot coffee. This makes it easier on the stomach for people who experience acid reflux or other digestive issues. Additionally, because it's less acidic, you'll be able to taste more of the coffee's natural flavor.
4. Cold brew coffee is versatile. Cold brew coffee is not just a drink that you pour in a cup, sip and repeat. You can use it as a base for a variety of drinks, such as iced coffee, lattes, and even cocktails. Since the flavor and texture of cold brew coffee are more muted than hot coffee, it makes a perfect base for a range of drinks.
5. You can make cold brew coffee at home. Cold brew coffees provide an elevated coffee experience, but you don't need to run to a cafe and spend a lot on a gourmet brew. All you need are Smart Sips Coffee’s cold brew coffee filter packs, room temperature water, and a container to steep the coffee. Making cold brew coffee has never been easier with our cold brew collection.
Our range of delicious flavors are the perfect at-home solution to satisfy your cold brew coffee cravings without having to leave the house. From the rich notes of coconut rum to the sweet and spicy flavors of our bananas foster, there's a flavor for everyone. Even those who enjoy decaf can indulge in these delectable flavors with Smart Sips Coffee's upcoming decaf selection. With its ease of preparation and unmatched flavor, our cold brew coffees are a delightful treat.
To sum it up, cold brew coffee is tasty and refreshing drink that has a unique taste and texture. You can make it at home and use it as a base for a range of drinks. So, if you haven't tried it yet, give cold brew coffee a chance—you might be surprised at how much you enjoy it!

]]>If you love coffee, there's a good chance that you've heard some hype around cold brew. It is a summer staple for some, and a year-round passion for others and for good reason.
Here at Smart Sips Coffee, we are obsessed with creating all things exciting and delicious, and we are happy to announce our new cold brew collection. We have created the smoothest, easiest to brew and most flavorful cold brew coffees, and we can’t wait to share them with you.
However, for all of our Smart Sippers who may not be familiar with exactly what cold brew is, here is a little overview.
What is Cold Brew Coffee?
Cold Brew coffee, by definition, is the process of steeping (or soaking) coffee grounds in cold water or room-temperature water for 12-24 hours. The result is much different than what you would get by simply icing a hot brewed coffee.
The lack of heat creates a brew with a much lower acidity, more smoothness, greater sweetness, and less overall bitterness. A batch of cold brew coffee is generally more concentrated, stronger and perfect for the addition of any milk or sweetener.
How Do You Brew Cold Brew Coffee?
We made brewing cold brew as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1) Place one Smart Sips Cold Brew Coffee Pack in cold 64 ounces (half gallon) of water.
2) Steep/Soak at room temperature for 12 hours.
3) Pour over ice and enjoy!
We suggest using a half gallon pitcher so that there is no measuring water. You simply fill it up and you’re ready to go.
