I find the nitro cold brew from starbucks very refreshing but spending around $50 a week on this stuff. Any recommendations on can cold brews I can buy on amazon or at a grocery.

Cool Brew out of NOLA is great and available in stores and amazon. Shipping can get expensive but again, super easy to find in stores.

Not sure if you have these where you live, but they're great. But honestly they aren't THAT much cheaper than Starbucks. I usually get them 2/$5 at Whole Foods.

I've made my own cold brew at home before. It's really easy, but the amount of grounds it takes compared to what you get in return also doesn't make it a cheap option if you're drinking it every day. But cheaper than Starbucks.

We make our own at home with a Toddy Cold Brew maker. It's very easy.

Also, Costco carries a brand called Chameleon that might be cheaper than what a regular grocery store offers.

Making cold brew at home is the best way. Avoid Starbucks at all cost. Except for espresso only. PJ’s is my backup plan for cold brew.

Costco is my go to for beans when brewing at home. Playing around with different beans right now. Make 3/4 to a gallon each time. Toddy method.

High Brew is alright.

Starbucks cold brew tastes like arse-just make your own, very easy to do.

Buy this, add the coffee of your choice, wait 24 hours.

If you can get the New Orleans-made Cool Brew, it's good stuff. I think it's the best cold brew concentrate on the market. Many of the cold brews sold under fancier brand names are not concentrates--they're on the watery side, I find. Locally, Sam's has the best prices on Cool Brew in the original flavor. CB's distribution has expanded recently, so you might find it in a grocery store near you.

My favorite. Ordering now because I haven’t had it in a while and you can’t find it in these parts

I find cool-brew has a unique taste that is unsettling for me after the many bottles. Not sure if it is the preservatives used in bottling or what but every now and then I grab one and I can taste it. I also have no way of the type of beans they use to make cold brew. When I change beans I usually taste the coffee hot first.

Nitro is amazing but almost $6 per cup at Starbucks. I'm guessing there's really no way to replicate this at home unless you get a keg-like system huh?

Buy a nitro cold brew keg and do it yourself. Check out TigerKeg.

This thing looks pretty cool - anybody have one? Would be nice to buy this and just nitro any cold brew in the fridge.

How often do you go through the NO2 chargers - every time you fill up the keg?

Always have a batch in the fridge. Pro-tip, darker the roast the better the cold brew

Chameleon is the best store bought I've tried. It got kinda pricey though, so I stopped buying it.

It's pretty easy to make your own cold brew at home.

I've only had mine for a couple weeks. I don't drink it everyday. I like to just have it as an option to regular coffee. I just buy my favorite ready to drink cold brew at the store and pour it in or buy concentrate and add water to your liking.
