I LOVE Bizzy Coffee! I drink it every day. And my bro-in-law bought me a cold brew coffee maker for Christmas. And here came Bizzy Coffee with ground coffee! I could make my OWN brew! You would think it was a no-brainer, right?
Well, I hemmed and hawed. I love the convenience of the concentrate, and I wasn't sure how well making it myself would turn out. Would it taste as good? Be strong enough? Smooth enough?
My fears have been put to rest. EASY! DELICIOUS! FABULOUS!
The grind is perfect for cold brew . My understanding is that cold brew grind is coarser than normal coffee grind. That was one reason I was putting off trying the cold brew maker - I wasn't sure of the grind. I was also not sure that I could achieve the delicious concentrated but smooth flavor that I have come to expect from Bizzy Coffee.
All is well. DELICIOUS. Strong, but not bitter and it does not wire me up or upset my stomach. Another winner from Bizzy Coffee! Give it a try and LOVE IT!
I’m not a coffee drinker, but my husband is, and has recently become a huge Starbucks cold brew fan. I figured in an effort to save money, I would learn to make concentrated cold brew at home, so he had it available to him at all times, especially during the hot summer. Well, after a few experiments with water/coffee ratios and such, I have to say, he absolutely loves the flavor of Bizzy cold brew more than anyone else’s, including a Starbucks. I make a 2 week supply (because that’s how long it keeps in the fridge) and he drinks every last drop. I’ve ordered it 4 times so far, and will continue to do so.
I'll be honest, coffee on Amazon is mostly hit or miss. It's miss mostly, let's be honest here. I hardly if ever buy ground coffee, especially from Amazon, as it's usually nothing but old bags(this doesn't exclude whole bean, same thing honestly). However, I got ir today, and didn't really feel like cold brewing it today(I was out, didn't want to wait). I did drip method at work, using water at 200F. I did pour some of the water over it before starting it though(I swear this helps if you're doing any hot extraction. I also added some salt(I promise this will do wonders to any hot drip). But after all was said and done, it produced wonderful coffee. I always drink mine with italian sweet cream, but honestly I coukd drink it black, it was that smooth and "sweet". Unfortunately...... Upon driving home, that entire gallon spilled.... At least I got a cup before that happened. I ordered another bag though, and if the next bag is just as good I'll be sure to say.
I still have to do cold brew though. So, I can only expect it to be even better. I'll be sure to let you know.
*update* After cold brewing, I can say that yes, it's very good like it was via hot extraction. However, very very subtle differences. The second bag was just as fresh, I think.
*update* I ordered a dash rapid cold brewer to try with these grounds, and it was good there too. However, I may stop using that device. While yes, it makea good coffee.. I'm having to use 2 cups to make 50oz as strong as a 400 gram/1 gallon ratio. If I keep using that I'll end up spending more money than I would be if I were going to a coffee shop everyday. This is not the coffees fault, it's the machine.
*edit* I have one more "coldbrew" blend of beans to try. I've tried Bizzy, Tiny footprint, and stone street. Thus far, Bizzy is still my favorite. Followed by stone street, and tiny footprint. Keep in mind, tony footprint was whole bean, and I most definitely expected them to be better, as freshly ground is usually always better, regardless of who you buy from. Surprisingly enough, Bizzys pre ground is STILL the best tasting. Coldbrew labs will be here Monday and I shall update again, once I try them.
I've been trying out different cold brew coffees all summer, and this is one of the best. I use one cup of Bizzy and 5 cups of water, and let it sit out on the counter for 18 hours. Brewing it at room temperature brings out more of the flavor than brewing it in the fridge. It comes out as a strong concentrate, and I usually mix it with a caramel or vanilla protein shake and ice cubes, to make it into a frappe.
I made my first ever cold brew with this coffee. I thought it tasted great with a little bit of half and half, water and ice. It’s smooth and doesn’t need any sweetener. Plus it’s already at the perfect grind size which is good since I don’t own a grinder. I’ll probably be ordering again.

I have been a Starbucks fan for years. Until, I tried this coffee. I no longer can stomach Starbucks or the taste of their bitter cold brew. This cold brew is smooth and a pleasure to drink. Love, Love, ❤️
I AM A COFFEE SNOB. I love cold brew and This coffee is way way better than starbucks or dunkin donuts. I has its own sweetness. It doesn't have a high acidic taste, it's not bitter or taste burnt. I use a splash of half and half and vanilla syrup to get the cold brew sweet cream flavor starbucks offers. WAY CHEAPER. I bag lasts me for 2-3 batches in a (2-Quart) Mason Jar. I usually don't do any coffee Black but I can with this stuff. Great Flavor over all. It really is worth the money considering I'd spend $15.00 for 3 12oz cups when this yields 10-15 8 oz cups. I'm a monthly subscriber!!!!
I used it to make cold brew concentrate. It sat in the fridge 24hrs and looked kind of light (like black tea) but it didn’t taste “weak” it tastes vibrant, yummy and very complimenting to sweet tooth syrups like Jordan’s Skinny-Syrup caramel, maple bourbon, and s’mores flavors. I’ve only had it cold but there is no bitterness and I will be buying more!
Long story short: Great flavor for even those who don't like coffee or can't handle the roast. I was one of them and this taste great with a splash of coconut creamer and a packet or two of stevia in the raw.
Picked this up along with a different brand when I was first venturing out to see what is the best coffee for cold brewing. At the time, I was fairly new to the coffee world, never cared for it because the roast flavor kept me away from it. On top of not liking the roast, I hear hot coffee has high acidity so for those who need to be mindful of acid reflux, cold brew is the way to go. This brand in particular isn't too sweet and the roast is just right. I highly recommend this for first time drinkers to long time drinkers. It's a steady flavor with nothing crazy like hazelnut or whatever else which I don't care for. With a tiny bit of creamer and some sugar, you'll be able to taste a nice roast flavor without being punched in the mouth from a overbearing taste. Give a try, you won't regret it!
Some tips for people new to cold brewing:
First off, get this coffee brand!
a coffee canister with a Co2 valve to keep it fresh (I have the coffee gator. They have a 25% off deal going on so check it out and it also comes with a 1/8th cup scoop)
order two of the amazon choice "Takeya Patented Deluxe Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker with Airtight Seal & Silicone Handle" the 2 quart size ones, they also have a 2 dollar off coupon on it as well right now. It might be expensive to order two but trust me, two is the way to go since you can have one brewing which takes up to 24hrs (I actually let the coffee steep until I finish off the other one) so having one ready and having one brewing would insure you won't be out. As for how much coffee ground to put in, the coffee canister I suggested (coffee gator) comes with a 1/8 cup scoop, I would would put 5/8th cup into the mesh strainer or 5 scoops for those who don't care for fractions and let it steep until I run out of coffee from the other container. If you drink about 12-14oz a day, this should last you about 3ish weeks until you have to order more Bizzy cold brew coffee. Oh and I haven't actually tried to continue to use the same ground from a previous batch so I have no idea if it would taste like diluted coffee water or the same as a fresh made one.
I hope this helps! Have a great day!
Cold brew is my preferred brewing method. It's so versatile in that it can be heated or poured over ice. I was hesitant to try a coffee marketed specifically for cold brew as any coffee works to give a low acidic smooth coffee. I typically shy away from pre-ground coffee as I like to grind mine fresh. However, I was really surprised at the quality and taste of this coffee! The grind size is perfect for cold brew. Not too large or too small...just right! Mamma bear liked it too ;) The taste is bold but very smooth. I can't comment on the acidity as cold brew by nature is lower acidity. I will definitely be ordering again and trying out the other roasts/blends too! Highly recommend!
