How to Make Starbucks Cold Brew at Home
New Starbucks Cold Brew Coffee Pitcher Packs make it easy for customers to craft cold-brew coffee at home.
On 8/16/2016 the name Starbucks Cold Brew changed to Starbucks Nariño 70 Cold Brew.
Since Cold Brew launched in Starbucks stores last year it has become a customer favorite and sparked popular variations such as Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew and Nitro Cold Brew. Now customers can craft their own cold brew at home with Starbucks® Cold Brew Coffee Pitcher Packs.
Made with a blend of 100% percent arabica Latin American and African ground coffees, the pitcher packs use the same Cold Brew Blend that is served in Starbucks cafes and are available for a limited time in U.S. Starbucks stores and select stores in Canada.
The new Cold Brew Coffee Pitcher Packs (available online here) make it easy to prepare cold brew at home. Just add pitcher packs to water and slow steep in the refrigerator for 24 hours. The result is a smooth, rich coffee that can be served unsweetened over ice or flavored with syrups and sauces.
