I thought cold brew was overrated until a coworker brought some to a meeting.

Tasting her homemade cold brew on a hot day totally changed my mind.

Agreed with @phoenix_grant34, the 24 hour steep really kills that bitterness. I did the same thing last month with a mason jar and it came out way smoother than my usual iced coffee.

Ever actually tried both? Cold brew is way smoother, regular iced coffee tastes acidic.

Cold brew's just iced coffee with extra steps.

Saw my buddy Mark make cold brew for a picnic last weekend. He steeped coarse grounds in cold water for a full day. When he tasted it, he said the lack of bitterness was a game changer. His usual iced coffee just tastes harsh to him now.
