Stone Street Coffee’s cold brew coffee is a dark-roast Colombian ground coarse for cold brewing, sold in a 2 lb bag.
What the listing says
Stone Street uses Arabica beans from Colombia graded “Supremo”, the largest bean size in Colombian grading, dark roasted to bring out nutty, chocolate notes and ground coarse for cold brew. It describes the result as bold, balanced and low-acid. The bag is a three-layer, foil-lined kraft bag with a one-way valve, and the coffee is roasted by Stone Street in Brooklyn, New York, where it has operated since 2009.
Why dark roast and coarse grind suit cold brew
Cold water extracts sugars and roast flavours well and leaves much of the acidity behind, so dark roasts give the chocolate and caramel notes that survive dilution and milk. A coarse grind matters even more: a long steep needs little surface area, and a finer grind over-extracts into bitterness. Buying coffee already ground for cold brew removes the grinder as a source of error.
Who it suits
It suits anyone without a burr grinder who wants a bold, chocolatey cold brew. Adjust strength with the ratio or steep time rather than the grind; our cold brew ratio calculator helps with the dose. Keep the bag sealed after opening.
How it compares
In our cold brew coffee guide it is the best overall pick for most people, alongside Volcanica’s whole bean and Bizzy’s organic ground coffee.
