GRADY’S COLD BREW Coffee Pouches | New Orleans Style - DECAF | 100% Arabica Ground Coffee & Chicory | 12 Bundles of 4 Easy-to-Brew Bean Bags | Makes 144 drinks

When I lived in Manhattan, I regularly bought Grady's in a bottle. Then, when I moved to the country, I discovered that I had to drive 40 miles to get it. Imagine my delight when I found out that you could buy their blend at home in easy-to-prepare brew bags. I ordered some and Grady's did not disappoint. I am happy to report that the process is simple and the resulting brew is as rich and satisfying as the bottles I bought in NYC.Since the caffeine can sometimes be an issue with cold brew number 3 or 4 later in the day, I tried the decaf and it is also flavorful and rich. It has a very slight taste difference from the regular (one that most people won't notice). You can also mix the pouches to make half-caf.I have tried several other brands because I prefer organic coffee, but none come close to the taste and richness of Grady's and I always come back. So it's one of the last things I still use that isn't organic or from a local supplier I know and trust. I hope they come out with an organic version someday!I'll close with a word about Grady's customer service - that word is "Awesome!" I had an issue with an order on Amazon where I got confused and accidentally bought regular when I intended to buy decaf, and the fine folks at Grady's quickly made everything right, plus went above and beyond to thank me for my loyalty. Grady's is a quality small business that I'm happy to support.

I am not a real fan of hot coffee, but I do love cold brew over ice with milk or a creamer (or both) and sometimes a flavor enhancement, but usually without anything other than almond milk and a splash of cream. Making it from beans requires a lot of filtering. This product eliminates the grinding of the beans and the filtering of the brewed coffee. So, when pinched for time, this is a great way to enjoy cold brew without the hassle. I also drink decaf, and it is not easy to find a hassle-free decaf cold brew, which this product is. As to taste, I rated it a "4" because I find it perfectly satisfying, but I am not a coffee connoisseur, so I can't say whether it deserves a "5". Also, I think the amount of time that the grounds brew in the fridge impacts the flavor, so that variable needs to be taken into consideration. I expect to buy the product on a regular basis. Tip: I sometimes add a tsp of backstrap molasses to my brew after pouring into the glass and stir vigorously, then add the milk and cream. Delicious. Also very good with dark chocolate.

Cold brew coffee has none of the acidity or bitterness. It's smooth, rich, and delicious.I LOVE Starbucks. After trying a cold brew there, I was hooked.The problem is that it costs $6 and also they do not have decaf cold brew.I begin looking for a solution, and found it here.Pros:1) Super easy to make. Simply toss a bag of this coffee into a gallon pitcher of cold water and put it in your refrigerator. Take it out the next morning. Be careful with the bag so that it doesn't bust.2) Cold brew needs to be made with coarse ground coffee, and this is.3) No need for grinders, strainers, or fancy cold brew makers. This works great.4) It's decaf!!! I can drink it all day and night!5) You can pour a cup and microwave if you want hot coffee.6) I prefer mine cold, without ice. I add soy milk and Splenda to mine. You can also add your favorite flavored cream, or just drink it black.7) As mentioned above, I use a gallon of water to one bag. This seems just the right strength for me, but you can use less water. If you make it too strong, just add more water.8) The coffee is fantastic. Again, it is rich and smooth.9) Saves me $6 a cup by not buying at my favorite coffee house.Cons:NONEBUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can’t beat the flavor

Grady’s is the best cold brew, hands down. And with these bean bags, it’s so easy to make at home and adjust the strength to your personal liking.

I drink a 20oz iced coffee each morning, made at home. Recently, I decided to switch to using half regular, half decaf. Saw Grady's while searching Amazon, and decided to try it. So glad I did....it's soooooo good. I love that it's a concentrate, and the price is great compared to others. If you're looking for a nice flavorful decaf, give it a try!! I will most definitely buy again to keep it in stock at home.

Very convenient way to keep cold brew coffee at hand. Only ned to make it once in a while and I am good of weeks (low consumption drinker). Keeps very well in the fridge in the brew bag from my first kit. All I need are refills now. Tasty!

Okay, my headline is not much of a statement since there are very few decaf cold brew options — but it's still true.Grady's is amazingly smooth and flavorful, exactly as described. I discovered New Orleans-style cold brew a few years ago, and now it's hard to enjoy anything else. The spices really give it a rich flavor. Unless you're "addicted" to sugar or sweetener, you might just find you'll like this black or just with a splash of cream.Grady's has also done a perfect job of making its little brew bags filter out even the slightest amount of sediment. The result is 100% clean coffee that I haven't been able to accomplish without using a concentrate or having to double filter.As for complaints about price in these reviews, these people either can't do math or are not comparing prices properly.For simple reference, one bag will result in 12 ounces of concentrate (24 oz cold brew) if you follow the directions. That's 24 ounces of cold brew for $2.50. However... I've been totally happy going with 16 ounces of concentrate, which results in 32 ounces of cold brew for $2.50.Tip: Be sure to put about 3 or 4 extra ounces of water (per bag) in your carafe or pitcher than you want in the end. So, if you want 16 ounces of concentrate, put in about 20 ounces of water to allow for what will be absorbed in the bean bag.
