I recently saw a cold brew Keurig commercial that said, you dont have to be a wizard to make cold brew 
lol, well its been kind of a science experiment. At first I used a cold brew system like this…
But then I got tired of dealing with it because its only a half gallon.
So I bought this system…
In action…
I really like this! The coffee sock is an excellent filter, well worth the money, same goes for the gallon jugs.
As far as brewing time, 24hours plus. Ours rarely goes over 48, with the system we go through 1 every other day 
and I never cut it 🫸 I like it to be rocket 
fuel 
As far as coffee brand, style, I have grown fond of using Starbucks Blonde Espresso whole bean fresh ground. Nothing else has the flavor I like. I tried some Starbucks Pumpkin Spice 
ground beans recently, It was horrible 
I only like to use oatmilk creamer. My favorite is Planet Oat Caramel non-dairy creamer. I do like the Starbucks almond milk/oat milk Pumpkin Spice Latte non-dairy creamer 
also.
@Scorpn What do you like to use for creamer, syrup or other add-ins?

I’m recovering from Costochondritis which had me in hospital over Christmas 
On the mend now but won’t be allowed out to play until March, Dr’s orders 
Apart from that I’m fine and most importantly still sober (coming up 21 years on 16th of April).
I thought this thread had died I’m going to have to bookmark it so I don’t forget it.
How you doing up/over there on or just off the lake?

How have I never seen this thread before. I fear…it must be so…I must be a coffee snob LOL so hubby and I went to Sicily for our honeymoon and all they had anywhere was Lavazza. Its an espresso, but we brew drip with it cause we savage. Its used to be SO CHEAP like $3 for 200g, but its become a lot pricier now…I will buy whatever is on sale in the dark roast variety, but Lavazza has my heart now and forever. I dont really like coffees from any chains though I have heard McDonalds coffee is good. Where I live Timmies reigns supreme but I cannot. Its SO WEAK.
We also have a Nespresso machine bc we get free pods, and frankly I dont like the taste but hubby does.
I am also guilty of loving a flavoured coffee…caramel corretto or machiatto like HI.
Soooo…am I in the club guys??

Omg a whole year later and i am just reading this 
I use “dream” “chobani” or “oatley” oatmilk. orrrrr i do have a couple of cartons of the non dairy vanilla sweet cream from Starbucks if im trying to make a sweet drink.
I like oat creamer but its expensive, almond bliss isnt bad.
What kinds of coffee creations are you drinking now @BLOODSHOTJOKER ?
I miss the “snobbiest” coffee snobs

I’m still using goats milk due to lactose intolerance, I can’t stand any of the plant base stuff even soya, just make me queasy thinking about them, but that’s just me; my daughter drinks some oat stuff so my dislikes are not hereditary

I have never tried goats milk. Does it taste similar to cows milk? Can you make ice cream with it to make affagatos?

Have you tried the Ethiopia one yet? I think its pretty good

It’s the same as cows milk, perhaps a little mellower, nowhere near as strong as sheep or horses milk, which are also very low in lactose.
You can make everything you make with cows milk, cheese butter, yoghurt and not forgetting ice cream.

My favorites are Cinnamon Planet Oat, Caramel Planet Oat, and Starbucks non dairy Hazelnut creamer. I had to go back to filtered coffee. I did some research and found that the espresso is bad for LDL because of diterpene levels. So I make real strong filtered coffee, my mother in law wont drink it. That strong lol. I use starbucks beans, Blonde Espresso x Veranda.

Ive been mostly using a standard coffee maker recently too. Sometimes an espresso and even sometimes some instant. I havent been drinking anywhere near as much coffee though. Better for my health that way.
And ive never heard of unfiltered coffee raising ldl but I’m gonna look into it. If i can improve my heart health at all i want to try. Thanks for the info.
Does that include metal filters or does that also fall under "unfiltered "?
