Partners Coffee Brooklyn Roast

Pros
Roasted To Order
Offers Specialized Grind
This blend is our Associate SEO Editor Allie Arnold's go-to pick for making cold brew. The chocolate and toffee notes in this coffee take centerstage when prepared cold.
It has a delightful richness that pairs well with milk and sugar. Or, if you take your coffee black, the Brooklyn roast has enough integrity to stand on its own. You can order from Partners directly, and they'll even pre-grind it to the perfect consistency.

Pros
Offers Specialized Grind
Subscription Available
Stone Street's cold brew blend is a favorite among many Delish editors, including our very own Makinze Gore. The roastery selects "supremo" beans from Colombia, which means the coffee you receive is among the most renowned for their size and quality.
You can order one-, two-, or five-pound bags directly from their website. Not only can you select between whole beans and cold-brew approved coarse grind, you can even sign up for a subscription.

Pros
Comes In Multiple Sizes
Subscription Available
If you prefer your coffee to be on the lighter side, Counter Culture's Hologram is a great option. This blend features those deep notes of chocolate that any good cold brew should have. However, it's incredibly nuanced and balances the richer notes with delicate fruity flavors.
You can buy bags of Hologram in 12-ounce, 24-ounce, and five-pound bags. Their subscription service is also unmatched—you'll save 10 percent on each 12-ounce bag.

Irving Farm Cold Brew Blend

Pros
Subscription Available
Cons
Only Sold As Whole Beans
Irving Farm's cold brew-specific blend features all of the flavor notes you'd expect: chocolate, caramel, molasses. What makes it special, however, is the slight fruity flavor that shines after a long, cold extraction.
You'll need your own coffee grinder, since these are only sold as whole beans. However, its richly complex taste is absolutely worth the extra step.
Pros
Subscription Available
Comes In Multiple Sizes
Offers Specialized Grind
This medium roast is the standard blend used to pull espresso shots at all of La Colombe's coffee shops, but we're making the case for it as a cold brew bean. The honey-like sweetness and deep nuttiness are uniquely refreshing when prepared cold.
This coffee checks all the boxes: you can choose between multiple sizes, select a customized cold-brew grind, and buy a subscription. This blend is a no brainer.

Cons
Pre-Ground Is Too Fine For Cold Brew
Nguyen Coffee Supply makes some of the most exciting coffee on the market, and their Moxy blend is a standout. While the majority of their beans are optimized for brewing with a phin (a traditional Vietnamese filter), Moxy also shines when brewed cold.
This medium roast has all of the fruity, delicate notes without any of the acidity. You can order this coffee in multiple sizes and sign up for a subscription. However, there's one thing to note: their grind size is fine, as it should be when brewing with a phin.
Pros
Comes In Multiple Sizes
Cons
Only Sold As Whole Beans
Café Integral sources their beans from different regions of Nicaragua. They are on the ground during the harvest, and most of their offerings are limited to certain seasons. Their cold brew blend, however, is available year-round.
This bright and nuanced blend has a seriously well-rounded flavor. I especially love sipping on this cold brew in warm weather. You can purchase either 12-ounce or two-pound bags of these whole beans.

Partners Coffee Rockaway Cold Brew Pouches

Pros
Convenient Pre-Portioned Pouches
Cons
Can Only Fit In Certain Cold Brew Makers
If you like the idea of making cold brew at home but don't want to splurge on kits or grinders, Partners Coffee cold brew pouches are for you. Each bag comes with four pouches of pre-ground coffee meant specifically for steeping a batch of cold brew.
Think of this as a giant tea bag, but for coffee. Simply add 24 ounces of water and allow the rich, chocolatey notes to infuse for 20-24 hours.
