Best Coffee Beans for Cold Brew

Cold brew requires low-acidity, medium to dark roast beans. This path: best bean → optimal grind → brewing tips.

Best Bean

1. Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Coffee: Rich and smooth with a balanced flavor profile. Perfect for cold brew as it retains its body without becoming bitter.

Optimal Grind

1. Grind to coarse, similar to sea salt. This prevents over-extraction common in cold brew.

Brewing Tips

1. Use a 1:4 ratio of coffee to water (e.g., 60g beans to 240ml water).
2. Steep for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours for stronger flavor.

Pro tip: Use a French press for brewing; it helps retain the coffee's oils and flavors.
