ABOUT LINEAR COLD BREW BLEND

We use this rich, sweet coffee to make our in-house cold brew. While it’s great over ice, Linear Cold Brew Blend also delivers smooth sweetness when brewed hot. The straight-ahead character of Linear makes it a great stand-by.

We received many requests over the past few years for the “best coffee for making cold brew.” While any coffee can be used for cold brew, Linear is intentionally sourced and roasted to compliment the cold brew process with the perfect combination of sweetness and body.

To make cold brew, follow these simple steps using a vessel of your choosing:

(If you like exact recipes and methods, check out our guide for making cold brew with the Toddy system.)

• Grind 10 ounces of coffee on a coarse setting and place in a large vessel

• Add 1.75 quarts (1,650 mL) of cold, filtered water and stir

• Allow to steep 24 hours (preferably in the refrigerator)

• Strain/filter out the grounds (we like to use a big coffee filter)

• Cut your concentrate with 1-2 quarts of cold water*, to taste

• Serve over ice and enjoy!

• Store cold brew in the fridge in a sealed container to keep it fresh for 1-2 weeks.

• For a refreshing change, try cutting your concentrate with tonic water or chocolate milk.

The coffees used in our blends changes seasonally. To learn more about the coffees and blend ratios visit our blends page.

The Linear blend, crafted by Blueprint Coffee, is designed specifically to excel across both cold brew and filter brewing methods. By focusing on a profile defined by rich chocolate, caramel, and dark chocolate, this blend prioritizes a heavy body and a comforting, dessert-like sweetness. The inclusion of dried fruit notes adds a subtle layer of complexity, balancing the deeper, cocoa-forward base.

When evaluating such blends, it is helpful to consider how different roast profiles influence the final cup. While lighter roasts often highlight acidity, blends like Linear lean into the Maillard reaction to develop deep, resonant sugars and a substantial mouthfeel. For those looking to better articulate these specific characteristics, referencing a flavor wheel can be an excellent way to identify the nuances between various chocolate and fruit descriptors. Whether prepared as a slow-steeped cold brew or a standard drip coffee, this blend offers a consistent and approachable experience.
