    1. Hi Tim, there aren’t any specific beans that work best per se. It totally comes down to your personal taste preferences. The best place to start is to take whatever you like hot and make it cold and see what you think!

  1. I’ve found coffees that have apple notes turn out real nice in cold brew. I am going to try a washed Ethiopian cultivar sometime in the summer this year.
