Backroad Cold Brew was specifically designed for cold extraction from the start. Every bean in this blend was chosen for how it performs in cold water over twelve to twenty-four hours, not how it tastes hot through a paper filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe medium-light roast profile preserves the natural sweetness and floral complexity of the blend that would be lost in a darker roast, while the cold extraction process pulls out the chocolate, toffee, and smooth body without the acidity or bitterness that hot brewing can introduce. The result is a cold brew that tastes clean, complex, and naturally sweet — no sugar, no flavoring, no shortcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wtr-box amber\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNo additives. No artificial flavors. Just coffee.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chocolate, toffee, and floral notes in Backroad Cold Brew come entirely from the beans — Mother Nature did the work. No flavor oils, no sweeteners, no additives of any kind. Just a carefully selected cold brew blend roasted to medium-light and steeped in cold water until it tastes exactly like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMedium-Light Roast for Cold Brew — Here Is Why\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people associate cold brew with dark roast coffee. Backroad Cold Brew takes a different approach, and for good reason. Cold water extraction is fundamentally different from hot extraction. It pulls sweetness, chocolate, and delicate flavor compounds that hot water often destroys. A medium-light roast has more of these compounds intact than a dark roast, which means cold water has more to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wtr-box dark\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMedium-light vs dark roast cold brew\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMedium-light roast cold brew\u003c\/b\u003e — clean, nuanced, and complex. The chocolate and toffee notes are bright and distinct. The floral character adds a complexity that dark roast cold brew simply cannot produce. Lighter in body but full of character. This is what Backroad Cold Brew delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDark roast cold brew\u003c\/b\u003e — bold, rich, and traditional.

Backroad Cold Brew was specifically designed to work with nitro charging systems. Brew at a concentrate ratio (1 cup coffee to 4 cups cold water), steep 12 to 24 hours, strain, then charge with nitrogen using a nitro cold brew system or cream charger. The medium-light roast profile produces the smooth, sweet concentrate that nitro cold brew needs to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow long can I keep it in the fridge?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wtr-faq-answer\"\u003eUp to two weeks if it survives that long, which it probably will not. Cold brew concentrate stored in a sealed container stays fresh for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. Ready-to-drink cold brew (brewed at the weaker 1:8 ratio) lasts up to one week. If it starts tasting flat or sour, it is past its peak time to brew a fresh batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs this blend sweetened or flavored?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wtr-faq-answer\"\u003eNope. All natural chocolate, toffee, and floral notes, Mother Nature did the work. There are no added sweeteners, flavor oils, or additives of any kind in Backroad Cold Brew. The flavor you taste comes entirely from the beans and the cold extraction process. Just coffee. Just water. Just that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat grind size should I use for cold brew?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wtr-faq-answer\"\u003eExtra coarse, even coarser than a French press. Think the texture of rough breadcrumbs or raw sugar. The long steep time compensates for the reduced solubility of cold water. A fine grind in cold brew produces bitter, over-extracted concentrate. When ordering pre-ground Backroad Cold Brew, select cold brew as your grind preference at checkout, and we will grind it correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow is Backroad Cold Brew different from Rogue Traveler for cold brew?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wtr-faq-answer\"\u003eBackroad Cold Brew is a medium-light roast purpose-built for cold extraction, clean, nuanced, with chocolate, toffee, and floral notes, and a lighter body. Rogue Traveler is a medium-dark roast that produces a bolder, richer cold brew with more chocolate and caramel character and more body. Backroad is the choice if you want something lighter and more complex. Rogue Traveler is the choice if you want something darker and bolder. It is Jamie's personal cold brew preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use filtered water for cold brew?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wtr-faq-answer\"\u003eYes, and we recommend it. Water quality matters more in cold brew than in hot brew methods because there is no heat to mask off-flavors. Chlorine and mineral content in tap water come through clearly in cold brew. Filtered water produces a noticeably cleaner, sweeter cup. If your tap water tastes good on its own, it will work fine for cold brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wtr-related\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/forkintheroadcoffee.com\/products\/rogue-traveler-medium-dark-specialty-grade-blend\"\u003eRogue Traveler — Bold Dark Cold Brew Alternative\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/forkintheroadcoffee.com\/collections\/blends\"\u003eBrowse All Coffee Blends\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/forkintheroadcoffee.com\/collections\/sample-packs\"\u003eSample Packs — Try Before You Commit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/forkintheroadcoffee.com\/blogs\/brewing-guides\/best-coffee-cold-brew\"\u003eBest Coffee for Cold Brew — Our Full Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/forkintheroadcoffee.com\/blogs\/brewing-guides\/the-best-cold-brew-coffee-makers-you-can-get-on-amazon-right-now\"\u003eThe Best Cold Brew Coffee Makers on Amazon Right Now\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fork in the Road Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Coarse \/ 12oz","offer_id":48891345961200,"sku":"COLD-CRSE-12OZ-BLACK","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coarse \/ 2 LB","offer_id":48891346026736,"sku":"COLD-CRSE-2LB-BLACK","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coarse \/ 5 LB","offer_id":48891346059504,"sku":"COLD-CRSE-5LB-BLACK","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso \/ 12oz","offer_id":49462155313392,"sku":"COLD-FINE-12OZ-BLACK","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso \/ 2 LB","offer_id":49462155346160,"sku":"COLD-FINE-2LB-BLACK","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso \/ 5 LB","offer_id":49462155378928,"sku":"COLD-FINE-5LB-BLACK","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard \/ 12oz","offer_id":49462155411696,"sku":"COLD-DRIP-12OZ-BLACK","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard \/ 2 LB","offer_id":49462155444464,"sku":"COLD-DRIP-2LB-BLACK","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard \/ 5 LB","offer_id":49462155477232,"sku":"COLD-DRIP-5LB-BLACK","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 12oz","offer_id":49462155510000,"sku":"COLD-WHOLE-12OZ-BLACK","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 2 LB","offer_id":49462155542768,"sku":"COLD-WHOLE-2LB-BLACK","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 5 LB","offer_id":49462155575536,"sku":"COLD-WHOLE-5LB-BLACK","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0823\/5705\/9824\/files\/Backroad_Cold_Brew.png?v=1774555908","url":"https:\/\/forkintheroadcoffee.com\/products\/backroad-cold-brew","provider":"Fork in the Road Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
