Apparently, I’m a Person Who Makes Cold Brew Now
The cold brew pitcher that made homemade iced coffee embarrassingly easy. Apparently all I needed was a little planning ahead. Yesterday.
I have owned a Takeya cold brew pitcher for years.
For much of that time, its primary responsibility was existing in a cabinet.
Then I decided I should probably stop buying an iced coffee every afternoon.
This is unfortunate because an iced coffee purchased from a coffee shop is objectively better than every other form of coffee.
I don’t know why.
Hot coffee at home? Good.
Iced coffee at home? Also good.
Iced coffee handed to me by another person in a plastic cup with a straw?
Elite.
Maybe it’s the cup. Maybe it’s the straw. Maybe it’s the fact that I did absolutely nothing to make it.
Science has yet to explain this.
Unfortunately, science has also failed to make a daily coffee-shop iced coffee free.
So I brought the Takeya back out.
And now there is just…cold brew in my refrigerator all the time.
This is a development.
You put coffee in the filter. Add water. Put it in the refrigerator. Wait.
That’s essentially the entire operation.
And suddenly, at 2 p.m., instead of deciding that I deserve a little treat and walking out of my house $6 poorer, I can open the refrigerator and pour one like a person who planned ahead.
I did plan ahead. Yesterday.
Does it completely eliminate my desire to buy an iced coffee?
Absolutely not.
Let’s be reasonable.
But it makes iced coffee at home easy enough that I actually make it, which is really all I can ask of a kitchen appliance.
It works. It’s easy to clean. It fits in my refrigerator. And it has once again earned valuable cabinet real estate.
The cold brew pitcher has been promoted from cabinet resident to full-time employee.
NOT SPONSORED. I bought this myself.
