About ColdBrewNest

ColdBrewNest exists for one reason: to give you honest cold brew reviews you can actually act on, written by people who steep, strain, and pour this stuff every day. There is a lot of overhyped gear and a lot of mediocre coffee in this space, and a lot of marketing that never tells you what a brewer is actually like to live with. We do the opposite.

Who we are

ColdBrewNest is edited by Daniel Brooks, who runs a small specialty coffee bar with cold brew and nitro on tap. Every guide on this site comes from hands-on brewing and tasting, across mason jars, drip towers, and pressurized kegs, not from a spec sheet or a press release.

How we work

Our rules are simple and we do not bend them. We buy the gear and coffee we review with our own money. We accept no payment for a ranking or a kind word. And we always tell you the downsides, because no maker, concentrate, or bean is perfect for everyone. You can read the full details of our standards in our editorial policy.

How we pay the bills

ColdBrewNest is reader-supported. When you buy through links on this site, we may earn a small commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you. That never changes our rankings or what we recommend. We explain exactly how this works on our affiliate disclosure page.
