Easy Iced Coffee: Grady’s Cold Brew Kit comes in a Pour & Store Pouch

Sometimes when you make your own cold brew, finding a container to put it in can be annoying, but the folks over at Grady’s came up with a clever idea. They packaged Grady’s Cold Brew Kit into a Pour & Store Pouch, so steeping a fresh batch of Grady’s cold brew just got a whole lot easier.

“Figuring out a way to brew the Bean Bags in their packaging was always a big goal for us,” said Grady Laird, the founder of Grady’s Cold Brew. “We had some messy experiments early on using our tins. Those puppies aren’t exactly 100% water-tight. You don’t have to sop up too many fridges before you know it’s time to move on. So that’s why we came up with the Pour & Store Pouch. It was the last component missing to make a full “just add water” Cold Brew Kit that can pretty much go anywhere.”

You don’t need any other equipment. All you have to do is throw a Grady’s Cold Brew Bean Bag, which is filled with coffee, spices and chicory, into the pouch, and pour water in to fill it up. Then, you stick it in the refrigerator overnight, and when you wake up in the morning, you’ll have fresh cold brew ready to go! The pouch carries 12 whole cups and the coffee lasts for two weeks, so you can have an ample amount for yourself every morning for over a week, keep everyone happy and caffeinated at the office, or you can host a bunch of your friends over for brunch. Save yourself all that money you spend on cold brew — if you compare it to purchasing a cup of iced coffee at Starbucks every morning, you’ll save $80 a month —  at your local café and get something nice.

“The Kit is self-contained—you need no other equipment, just water, to brew the perfect cup of iced coffee,” says Laird. “You can take the Kit camping, on a picnic, on a boat, or just to share in your office kitchen—and it’s the perfect gift for coffee lovers.”

Cold brew coffee concentrate: A quick and easy way to enjoy bold, smooth coffee
How to enjoy cold brew coffee in no time

Cold brew's smooth, less acidic taste is perfect for any time of the day. Although I can't make my favorite cold coffee, nitro cold brew, at home, I do often make cold brew. Making cold brew is a process that takes planning in advance by at least 12 to 24 hours. That's why I love cold brew coffee concentrate, which makes it super easy to enjoy cold brew coffee on demand.

Cold brew concentrate is an ultra-concentrated form of cold brew that comes pre-packaged and requires a fast dilution with water to enjoy. Here's what you should know about cold brew coffee concentrate and how to use it at home.

While I have been a huge proponent of minimizing screentime on devices in general, I must give it to the algorithmic masters at Instagram and other social media platforms. Ever since I showed interest in coffee makers, I have been bombarded non-stop with ads, account recommendations, and videos from every conceivable brand out there. So I decided to finish my journey and continue down the rabbit hole of my coffee obsession – why turn back now? There has been a bushel of new coffee maker brands entering the market of late, several of which stand out from the crowd with sleek designs and so many configurable settings that engineers and data nerds would be in coffee heaven. For me, though, I'll take a great-looking product with minimal design and few settings that make some of the best-tasting coffee out there, and the Cumulus Coffee Company seems to have done just that for cold brew coffee aficionados. Priced at $695, the Howard Schultz-backed company has raised more than $20 million from various investors (including One Republic's Ryan Tedder), showing the seriousness of their mission and the evidence of their coffee quality.

Cold Brew is hot right now (er, popular, I mean) as it accounts for nearly 30% of all coffee orders according to a 2024 study by drive research – up 300% since 2016. This is particularly true for Gen Z and Millennial coffee enthusiasts. The problem is that there isn’t really a good cold brew machine out there to buy, and the ones that are out there still depend on the consumer adding cold water, ice, or what I would call “fake” measures to make the cold brew somewhat cold (or just giving up and making iced coffee instead — and yes, there's a difference). In fact, until I tried the Cumulus Cold Brew maker, I would just recommend to folks that they add their coffee to a pitcher and set it in a fridge overnight. It's non-decadent, for sure, but it gets the job done.

Stok Cold Brew

Cold brew coffee is commonly known as a higher-caffeine content beverage, which usually contains about 200 milligrams of caffeine per 16 ounces. However, many of today's consumers are hopping on the decaf coffee trend, focusing on health-conscious choices. Many cold brew drinkers and iced coffee drinkers know that finding decaf varieties of these drinks is not always as easy as it sounds, much less in a ready-to-drink, already brewed form.

Offering a bold and smooth experience for people who love coffee but don't always want the caffeine, STōK has launched the first ready-to-drink decaffeinated cold brew. Available now in grocery stores nationwide, cold brew coffee lovers can enjoy cold brew any time of the day, perhaps even as a nightcap or a drink to pair with your midnight snack.
