Kirkland Cold Brew Coffee

Cold brew is steeped coffee in cold water for an extended period, typically 24 hours, to extract the flavor and caffeine.

Regarding health benefits, cold brew is generally considered a healthier option than traditional hot coffee. Since the brewing process is done at a lower temperature, it’s less acidic and easier on the stomach. In recent years, canned cold brew has become increasingly popular as a convenient and delicious alternative to traditional hot coffee. Costco’s cold brew is smooth, has a rich flavor, and has low acidity, which can be attributed to the cold brewing process.

Kirkland’s Ingredients

Kirkland uses dark roast, Colombian Arabica coffee beans that have a deeper, more intense flavor. Couple that with a Colombian bean, and you get a super smooth, complex flavor that isn’t bitter or sour tasting. It doesn’t need milk or added sweetener because it is already less acidic and rich in flavor. This is the best coffee for non-coffee drinkers, and coffee lovers alike!

With a long shelf life, Kirkland’s cold brew means it can be stored for a longer period of time compared to freshly brewed coffee, which makes it a convenient option for those who want to stock up on coffee. It’s also a great option for those who want to enjoy a cold coffee while traveling, as it is easy to pack and can be enjoyed anywhere.

Kirkland Cold Brew Caffeine Content

Kirkland cold brew coffee has 225 mg of caffeine — 2.3 times the amount of caffeine in a typical cup of coffee (95mg is usual).

Cold Brew vs Energy Drinks

If you were to browse the typical fridge section at a convenience store, you’ll already know that there are a lot of energy drink options available. The problem with energy drinks is that they are made with two things in mind. First, they’re made to taste great at the cost of your health. There is a lot of different chemicals, colors, and various types of sweeteners there to keep people coming back. Second, it’s made to keep people awake, which could mean too much caffeine which results in a massive crash later in the day. Coffee is a relatively care free way to go about it because there is nothing else to it.

Cold brew is (in our opinion) the best coffee for people who don’t like coffee. It’s flavorful yet not overbearing with bitterness. It’s light, but packs a punch. We are BIG Costco lovers in our household, because Costco as a whole offers incredible value, and tons of exclusive products that you cannot get elsewhere. But what if you could get Costco’s cold brew product outside of buying a Costco membership? In this article, we will explain what Kirkland Cold Brew Coffee is and share our take on its overall design, taste, and satisfaction. Additionally, we’ll share with you a secret to getting Costco products online with free shipping.
