Each bottle of Peet’s Ultra Coffee comes with 16 servings in one bottle. To use, simply add 1 tablespoon of the espresso concentrate to 6 ounces of water and then add milk or creamer, as desired. Enjoy over ice, cold, or warmed — the choice is yours! Once opened, you can store the bottle in your fridge for up to 30 days. What makes this new Peet’s product especially unique is its rich concentration, which means you can enjoy the espresso flavor you know and love at home without any cleanup or preparation required.

Nitro Cold Brew is my all-around favorite coffee — here’s why

No coffee is like the nitro cold brew

nitro cold brew

As a cold coffee lover, it's safe to say I've tried nearly every variety of cold coffee on the market -- from an iced americano to an iced coffee. But time and time again, I return to the nitro cold brew, a type of coffee that is completely unmatched to other cold coffees on the market. In every category, such as flavor, consistency, and enjoyment, the nitro cold brew earns 10/10, and it never disappoints. Here's why the nitro cold brew is my favorite coffee.
Smooth, not harsh

Ordering coffee on the go leaves a lot of room for error and variation, especially when visiting national coffee chains like Dunkin' or Starbucks'. Whenever I order an iced coffee or a standard cold brew, it seems to turn out differently every time. Yet the nature of the nitro cold brew (available on tap) means it's consistent every time. Similar to draught beer, nitro cold brew is infused with nitrogen gas, which gives it its uniquely creamy, frothy texture. When poured, a dense foam layer sits on the top, and every sip is velvety and delicious.

4 types of coffee beans every enthusiast should know about

Which of these four types of coffee beans is your favorite?

Coffee beans

While some may say "a cup of coffee is a cup of coffee", true coffee connoisseurs know there's so much variety between individual cups of coffee. Just head to the local grocery store and you'll see for yourself the overwhelming number of coffee options there are to choose from. From light roast to dark roast -- the number of coffee bean options can quickly become too much. Luckily, most coffee can be broken down into four main categories, which makes it more easy to comprehend. Below, discover the 4 types of coffee beans to know about and what makes each bean variety unique.
Roast of coffee vs. origin of coffee

Before diving into the four types of coffee beans, one important thing to understand is that coffee is often classified by two major factors: its roast and its origins.
Roast of coffee
The roast of the coffee refers to how much heat the beans undergo during the roasting process. Each roast of coffee begins with the same coffee beans (meaning there is no "light roast bean", however, it changes based on the roasting process. Light roast beans are subject to less heat than dark or medium roast coffees. In turn, the heat exposure changes the taste and aroma of the final cup of coffee you drink.
Origins of coffee beans
Coffee is also categorized based on where it originated. Although certain types of beans typically come from the same regions, the origin of the coffee bean does not refer to what type it is. Rather, it just refers to where the coffee was grown. For example, you may have heard "Colombian coffee beans".
4 types of coffee beans
Arabica
Arabica coffee beans are the most commonly known variety of coffee beans and almost the most prevalent, making up about 60% of the world's coffee beans. You might have even ordered a cup of coffee at a shop that boasted their coffee is made with 100% "Arabia" beans -- but what does this mean? This type of coffee comes from the coffea Arabica plant, which requires high attitudes, lots of shade, and steady rainfall to grow. As such, they are often grown in nations with these high elevation conditions (at least 2,000 feet), such as Brazil, Columbia, Peru, etc. These beans produce smooth, high-quality coffee that has very little bitterness, producing the solid cup of coffee you know and love.
