Krista’s Thoughts: As someone who has never had a cold brew coffee before — much less made their own! — I will admit I was both excited and nervous as I pulled out the coffee grinder to grind these gorgeous, wonderfully aromatic little beans of magical happy juice. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely did my research beforehand and looked into what methods were available to me with what I already own, but I was still nervous. Once that frigid, dark brown liquid hit my lips this morning, however, I couldn’t help but smile! Not only had I prepared it exactly to my liking, but the brew itself was smooth and bursting with flavor! Thanks to the low acidity that comes with cold brewing coffee, I felt it gave the citrus flavors a chance to shine in a way that is typically lost when I drink hot brewed coffee. I also don’t often drink my coffee black unless I find a good one, but I wanted to give an honest review and am pleased to say that Geek Grind’s Frost Giant Cold Brew is one of the few coffees I can enjoy on its own as well as with a little creamer if the mood strikes!

Ryan’s Thoughts: Not all coffees are created equal, and anyone who has let a hot coffee go cold will tell you it’s just not good. It takes a special coffee to be delicious as a cold brew and that is NOT the same as iced. Frost Giant delivers in spades and I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised by the smoothness and depth that it brought to the table. I believe if you can’t drink a coffee black then you shouldn’t drink it at all and that what you add to a coffee should be just that, an addition. Frost Giant stands all on its own and if you are wanting to try a cold brew I would be hard-pressed to recommend another before this one.
