- GRADY’S COLD BREW, New Orleans Style, 100% Arabica Ground Coffee & Chicory Pouches, One Box of Four Easy-to-Brew Bean Bags, Makes 12 drinks

Reviewing: "Grady's Cold Brew Coffee | Original - Brewed Strong | New Orleans Style Cold Brewed coffee Concentrate | Medium Roast Gourmet Coffee | Coffee Can | 4 Bean Bags | 12 Servings Per Can" Note: This was not a free Vine item, rather, an actual cash purchase. I am very pleased with this coffee. It is my first time trying this brand, and especially trying anything classified as "New Orleans style". The flavor is great - I really like the addition of the chicory, which reminds me somewhat of cinnamon. I don't think it adds "sweetness" per se, but it helps to offset the normal bitterness often found with cold brew. It's very easy to make - you add one pouch to 16 oz of cold water, refrigerate overnight, then pull out the used pouch the following morning (being careful to squeeze the coffee out without accidentally tearing the pouch). It makes a very strong concentrate that is recommended to dilute with water 1:1. To drink, pour some in a cup, add an equal amount of water, and drink chilled or pop in the microwave (but careful not to let it boil). You can also just add boiling water to dilute, but I like to just add the water and microwave it (easier) and it doesn't seem to affect the flavor. (You can also drink it straight undiluted if you want to, but I prefer the taste diluted, and the caffeine content is a bit more manageable for me that way, as well.) I followed the recipe exactly and am very pleased. I plan to order this again. I like a variety of different coffees and cold brews - this will be an excellent addition to the rotation. I would recommend this product without reservation!

Delicious, convenient, quick delivery, very reasonable.

First of all, it's smooth, rich, and delicious. The chicory flavor is not as prominent as it is in, say, Cafe Du Monde coffee, in spite of Grady's stating that they add chicory for sweetness. I barely detect it. It's not a bad thing for me. Chicory can be a distinct flavor. It's just kept tamped down here, to my taste. The hint of cinnamon adds a really nice complexity. I've tried several different brands of cold brew offered in pouches, including a few couple offered via Amazon. Grady's is both the best as well as offers the best value. I was frankly surprised. While the number of pouches per purchase may not impress at first (It may come across as overpriced at first glance), here it is a great value. With other brands, two pouches get brewed in 24 oz of water. After the brewing period, 8 more ounces of water gets added to finally produce 32 ounces of full strength coffee. In contrast, with Grady's cold brew (the pouches of coffee are larger), two pouches in 32 ounces of water (or 24 ounces with 8 ounces added after the fact) results in 32 ounces of fluid that is used as a concentrate. The resulting brewed concentrate is designed to then be doubled with milk and/or water, so you'll get 64 ounces of coffee out of that 32 ounces of concentrate. And even after the dilution, the coffee still has richness and depth. It's the best cold brew I've ever had.

Love the taste and coffee strength. You really are adorable, but make sure to use a wide mouth container.

I love the milder taste, not so acidic, and the convenience. Since it's pretty high on the caffeine scale, I've been doing a bag of the decaf and a bag of the regular cold brew.

When I lived in Manhattan, I regularly bought Grady's in a bottle. Then, when I moved to the country, I discovered that I had to drive 40 miles to get it. Imagine my delight when I found out that you could buy their blend at home in easy-to-prepare brew bags. I ordered some and Grady's did not disappoint. I am happy to report that the process is simple and the resulting brew is as rich and satisfying as the bottles I bought in NYC. Since the caffeine can sometimes be an issue with cold brew number 3 or 4 later in the day, I tried the decaf and it is also flavorful and rich. It has a very slight taste difference from the regular (one that most people won't notice). You can also mix the pouches to make half-caf. I have tried several other brands because I prefer organic coffee, but none come close to the taste and richness of Grady's and I always come back. So it's one of the last things I still use that isn't organic or from a local supplier I know and trust. I hope they come out with an organic version someday! I'll close with a word about Grady's customer service - that word is "Awesome!" I had an issue with an order on Amazon where I got confused and accidentally bought regular when I intended to buy decaf, and the fine folks at Grady's quickly made everything right, plus went above and beyond to thank me for my loyalty. Grady's is a quality small business that I'm happy to support.

I forgot how much I loved this coffee. I usually go through Tim Hortons almost everyday for a cold brew and I can make this at home, and it tastes just like the cold brew I get there.

I had this for the first time at a friend's dinner party. She offered a cold brew with cold foam on top. Bye-Bye Starbucks! I have been ordering it on a bi-monthly subscription every since. I love the taste, which is not bitter but smooth and absolutely yummy as can be. If you're like me and need a good, strong cup of coffee but hate the jittery feeling, this will be your new bestie. It's been mine for over a year, and I can't live without it. The only thing is that you need a decanter to use it; otherwise, it's not the best. I bought this and it's never failed me.
