Cold Take: Plain Cold Brew is Good

I have always been a huge fan of iced coffee. The New England blood in me allows me to enjoy an iced coffee even when it is below freezing on a winter day on the hill. I am all for fancy Starbucks lattes and coffees on occasion. However, I believe there is nothing better than a glass of plain cold brew to start your day. With add-ins of lattes and sweeteners, the flavor of coffee that I love does not always come through. 

I figured I would share my favorite brands of cold brew so that anyone who wants to take my advice can try it. 

Grocery Store Cold Brew: 

1. Stōk Un-Sweet Black Cold Brew Coffee 
2. Premier Protein Coffee Shakes (not a cold brew but worthy of this list)
3. Starbucks Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate (Just add water)
4. Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate (Just add water)

If I have decided not to pour a cup of iced coffee at home and I am still looking for cold brew, the following five is a ranked list of my favorite coffee spots around Worcester. 

Favorite places to buy a cup of cold brew in Worcester:

1. Fuel America Coffeehouse
2. Dunkin’

If you are looking for a change in your coffee-drinking habits, I hope you can find a version you like in one of these recommendations!
