Cold Brew

The best things in life take time.

Brewing in Slow-Motion

  • Matching Beans to your Tastes

    Whether you prefer a chocolatey, smokey brew with a robust body or a delicate, floral offering bursting with notes of citrus and red fruit, we will help you find the perfect beans, roasted right here in NYC.

  • Dialing in your Recipe

    Once we have determined your ideal profile, we empower you with not just a tried-and-true recipe for amazing, repeatable cold brew—we illuminate how we determine that recipe and give you the tools to experiment with confidence.

  • Landing in the Bullseye

    Patience is a virtue, and with cold brew that virtue is the make-or-break factor. Although it may seem strange waiting up to 20 hours to enjoy a coffee, we’ll show you the difference between perfect and not-quite-there so you can depend on yourself and your taste buds to maintain that stellar quality.

It’s science—but it’s not rocket science.

Our building blocks of great coffee in order of importance.

 

  • Understanding what is happening and why in the brewing process is our Coffee Educator superpower. Knowledge sits in the driver’s seat at Home Brew, and sharing our hard-earned barista knowledge with you is the foundation of all of our teaching.

    Because the most expensive equipment and rarefied single-origin coffees in the world will only yield brews as good as the barista unlocking their potential. Period.

  • Just like any decent chef would say of their food: You must honor the ingredients if you want to unlock the awesome bounty of their flavor.

    Learning how to understand, buy, and store your coffee like a pro will yield the greatest improvement in your morning brews…right behind gaining a little know-how from us.

  • Who doesn’t love gear? We certainly do, and we fully understand the impulse to throw a few dollars at a coffee issue and hope that it will resolve itself.

    But as we can attest, the trick isn’t to acquire as many coffee tools as possible—it’s to get the best tool for the job.

    We teach you how to use everything you have on hand to its full potential, and if you have a need or a desire to expand your set-up, we couldn’t be happier to lead you to the best option for your tastes, needs, and budget.

    Once you’ve got the know-how and the beans, the gear will send you right over the top—into coffee paradise (which is either Melbourne, Copenhagen, or Portland, depending on who you ask).
