Can’t be bothered with steeping and grinding beans and measuring everything out? Luckily for you, Kuka has made a full-bodied cold brew coffee which can be used straight away.

Even though it has been crafted with espresso martinis in mind, it can also be poured over ice, so is a fully flexible beverage. It is made only from Hertfordshire spring water and coffee and has no added ingredients such as sweeteners or preservatives.

Kuka has used high-quality speciality beans with a medium roast profile, so you still get that full-on coffee flavour but without all of the bitterness and acidity which can put some off when the coffee is just used as a base for other more creative drinks.

Carrington’s Cold Brew is a single-origin specialty Colombian beans with sweet and citrusy characteristics. The slow roasting, kept light, helps with the flavour impact when drunk. It should be brewed to a ratio of 1:10, left overnight in the fridge and then adjusted the next day to adapt to your tastes.

Leaving it for 12-16 hours is the optimum, to completely reduce acidity. It requires no added sugar as it is naturally sweet, which is dominant with the longer brewing. You can buy it as beans or grounds, and in a 1kg bag as well.

You have a pod machine which barely sees the light of day now you have discovered the smooth, refreshing taste of cold brew.

So what do you do? Throw it away? Give it to your nan? Let it sit there for years? Or use cold brew pods?

Designed to bring out the best flavour through cold brew extraction, the Capri blend has notes of milk chocolate thanks to a balance of Robusta and Arabica beans and is phenomenal when made in a cafetiere or aero press coffee maker.

The beans have been given a coarse grind and medium roast to give a strong flavour which works well in iced coffee, giving optimum aroma and distinguished aftertaste.

The product comes in an easy valve reseal bag and every purchase will see some of the funds go towards coffee tree planting, helping create a sustainable coffee market!

Perfect for cold brew (as well as espresso if you occasionally go from one to the other), these beans are from Fazenda Santo Antonio in Brazil and have hints of caramel, milk chocolate, and orange rind.

Because it can be quite flexible in its use, it is a great product if you are just looking to be introduced to cold brew but aren’t quite sure about whether you will like it. If not, use it in a filter or espresso machine.
