Stumptown helped make cold brew mainstream, and its ready-to-drink original still sets the bar: bold, chocolatey, and smooth enough to drink black straight from the fridge. The carton format gives you several servings and it’s easy to find. It costs more than store-brand RTD, but the roaster-grade flavor is the reason it’s our top grab-and-go pick.
