Roast Ridge Ground Cold Brew Coffee Blend, Medium Roast, 2 lb.

Purchased this brand of coarse ground coffee for cold brew due to the affordable price and while I tempered my expectations a bit, it absolutely delivers on the end result. I brew my cold brew coffee in a very large jar with a filtered bag using a 1:8 ratio of coffee grounds to water for about 16 hours at room temperature. I had no issues with the coffee grounds leaking through the bag or creating any sludge so the grind is great on this. I've noticed other reviewers complaining about the inconsistent grind so I will update this if I experience that with future purchases. Taste came out fine as well. I drink it straight black at the 1:8 ratio and I like it. It doesn't blow me away but it's perfectly acceptable and delivers a smooth and enjoyable taste. I'm sure most people would prefer to add cream, milk or sugar to their drink which will further enhance the flavor but just note that even the straight black result is still enjoyable. I was more than satisfied with my first experience with this ground coffee and I'll be purchasing it again in the future. I'll update my review if I encounter any issues with future purchases but for now, I highly recommend trying this ground coffee if you're looking for an affordable option.

I never write reviews, but this time it felt like i had too. I only drink Iced Coffee, and normally its from my Kurig that has a cold brew system. I found this coffee and starting using my french press again. I brew 1/4 cup of grounds to on liter of water and then once cool i place it in the refrigerator. The flavor is superb never bitter, and this is very enjoyable to drink, I have never added anything to my coffee for me it has to be cold and black just the way it was intended. I would recommend to those that like black coffee for its flavor and quality. For those that add creamers, sugars, and syrups, let's be real does not matter what you drink it will taste like what you put in it.

I purchased the medium roast cold brew coffee for my cold brew urns. This ground smelled delicious and fresh from the moment the bag opened to the last spoonful. It has a very smooth flavor at 100gr per 4 cups of water at 36 hours in the fridge, gentle tasting but strong caffeine roll on. The brew has a nice dark color with almost no acidity. This has become one of my favorite cold brew grinds.

I do cold brew at home using a 2Qt Mason jar and aluminum mesh filter. I do 1.5 cups of grounds and pourover the coffee to fill the jar. I let sit for at least 12-24 hours in the fridge and then drain the filter and fill water to the top of the jar. I usually drink on ice with some alternative milk. Pricepoint around $15 is great and I am able to get quite a bit of brew from a 2lb bag. Although the brew is smooth, I do notice it lacks depth in its flavor compared to other grounds specifically marketed as "cold brew" grounds. It's not bad and for the pricepoint it's ok and gets me going with the caffeine I need in the mornings. If you are looking for something with more flavor and depth, this coffee isn't for you. However, if you like to add flavor to your coffee, this would be a nice neutral coffee to add it to.

This is decidingly ok coffee. Then why did I give it a 5 star rating? Because I couldn't give it a 4.5. This is not some epicurean delight or life changing coffee - if that's what you are looking for, then you wouldn't be checking out some coarse pre-ground bagged coffee on Amazon. This gets the job done, it's inexpensive, tastes like coffee and makes a decent cold brew. I mean, you're going to add stuff to it anyway. By the time you finish adding some type of milk, sweetner and/or flavored syrup, paying for some expensive coffee is just silly. Why 4.5? Because, as others have mentioned, the grind isn't consistent. But, that's easy enough to deal with - just use a finer mesh filter.

The coffee taste was ok, and already being coarse ground for cold brew was convenient. But neither of those factors justified the price.

This is one of the best, if not the best, cold brew coffees on the market for taste and value. Smooth, non acidic, strong but not overly strong, and little to no residue in the brewing process.

I don’t write many reviews. I took a chance purchasing this coffee which don’t have many reviews to save a few bucks and to save some time in the morning making my cold brew. Normally I buy whole beans and grind them myself, but sometime I don’t want to deal with the mess I make after grinding the beans. Final verdict is this is well worth the cost and makes some of the best cold brew I’ve made at home. Just a few scoops, place in water, wait 24 hours and I have go-go juice for the morning. Will be buying again and already shared with several friends. My only complaint, is the resealable tape to keep the bag closed only worked one time. Oh well. Stuck it in a gallon ziplock bag. Problem solved!
