Necessary Cold Brew
Smooth, bold, uncomplicated.
Necessary Coffee's dedicated cold brew coffee, roasted in Lancaster, PA. Their pitch is one line — a smooth start to a bold day — and that's the whole idea: a bag built for long, cold steeping, not for teasing apart on a cupping table.
If you keep a jar of concentrate in the fridge all summer, fill it with this. Necessary's own recipe is below; if you'd rather work from first principles, start with our brew ratio guide.
