Happy National Cold Brew Day ☕❄️

Smooth Sips for Spring Slush Sessions

At Ski Bum Coffee Co®, we believe great coffee isn't just for cold mornings on the mountain ...it's for warm spring afternoons, slushy laps, and everything in between.

So in honor of National Cold Brew Day, we're raising a chilled glass to one of the smoothest, most refreshing ways to enjoy specialty coffee.

Because let's be honest... when the snow gets soft, your coffee should get colder.

What Is Cold Brew (and Why It Hits Different)?

Cold brew isn't just iced coffee ...it's a completely different brewing method.

Instead of using hot water and cooling it down, cold brew is made by steeping coarse-ground coffee in cold water over time. The result?

• Lower acidity
• Ultra-smooth body
• Naturally sweet, mellow flavor
• A refreshing, easy-drinking profile

It's the après-ski of coffee. Effortless. Chill. Rewarding.

How to Make Cold Brew (The Ski Bum Way)

You don't need fancy gear ...just a little patience and a love for good coffee.

The Method:

1. Combine 1 part coarse-ground coffee with 4–8 parts cold water
2. Let it steep for 12–24 hours (fridge or room temp)
3. Strain using a filter (cheesecloth, paper filter, or French press)

Our Go-To Ratio:

👉 1:8 (1 gram coffee : 8 grams water)

This creates a cold brew concentrate, which you can dilute:

• 1:1 with water for a clean, balanced cup
• 1:1 with milk for a creamy, indulgent ride

Serve over ice. Sip. Repeat.

Gear You Can Use:

• Mason jar
• French press
• Dedicated cold brew maker

• Filters (cheesecloth or paper)

Simple setup. Big payoff.
