With the introduction of our cold brew concentrate came many questions regarding The Mega Jug's creation, the appeal of a cold brew concentrate as opposed to ready-to-drink traditional cold brew, and many other related inquiries. Find all the answers to your Mega Jug questions below, as answered by our Director of Coffee, Cary.

 

Q: What coffee is used for the cold brew concentrate?

A: We're using a blend of coffees from Central and South America in our cold brew. These origins offer a balanced flavor profile with rich chocolate notes and subtle fruit notes, ideal for a smooth, crowd-pleasing flavor profile.

 

Q: How long will this last after opening?

A: Because our cold brew concentrate is created with minimal processing and doesn't include any added preservatives, The Mega Jug will need to be used within two weeks after opening.

 

Q: How should this be stored? Does it need to be refrigerated before or after opening?

A: Before opening, The Mega Jug is shelf-stable and can be stored at room temperature until the best-by date indicated on the packaging. Once opened, this will need to be stored under refrigeration for up to two weeks.

 

Q: Is cold brew concentrate just as tasty and flavorful as traditional methods of cold brewing?

A: Absolutely! Our cold brew concentrate is crafted to be just as bold, smooth, and flavorful as traditionally steeped cold brew. It delivers a consistent and delicious result, and is easily customizable to match one's personal taste preferences.

 

Q: Is cold brew concentrate easy to work with?

A: Yes! Cold brew concentrate is all about convenience and consistency. Just dilute it with filtered water and it's ready to enjoy - no brewing equipment, no wait time.

 

Q: What are the perks of having cold brew concentrate over batched cold brew?

A: One of the biggest advantages is versatility, not just quick and easy cold brew. Our concentrate can be used in a variety of other drinks like iced lattes, signature drinks, espresso martinis, and other coffee cocktails. It’s a flexible option that opens up a lot of possibilities both at home and behind the bar.
