Grady's Cold Brew New Orleans Style is a medium-dark 100% Arabica ground coffee blended with imported French chicory to deliver a naturally sweeter, full-bodied cup ideal for both hot brewing and cold brew.
Inspired by the classic coffee traditions of New Orleans, this one-pound bag pairs Arabica beans with a measured amount of roasted chicory and a touch of warming spice. The result is a robust, slightly earthy profile with subtle sweetness and extended finish. Coarsely ground for extraction versatility, it performs well in cold-brew steeping, French press, drip machines that accept coarse grounds, and refillable K-cups.
How will this coffee behave when I make cold brew?
Because the grounds are coarse, they extract slowly and evenly, producing a smooth, low-acidity cold brew concentrate with pronounced body and lingering flavor. Chicory contributes depth and sweetness without added sugar, so the final concentrate feels richer than many standard cold brews.
- Coarse grind prevents over-extraction and bitterness during long steeps.
- Blended chicory increases perceived sweetness and mouthfeel.
- Makes a concentrated brew that dilutes well with water or milk.
- Suitable for 12–24 hour cold-brew steep times for best balance.
Can I use this in a French press or for hot coffee?
Yes — the coarse, even grind is tailored to French press brewing, delivering a full-bodied hot cup with rich aromatics. It also adapts nicely to other manual methods and is easy to use in refillable K-cups or large drip filters designed for coarser grounds.
- French press: strong, robust extraction in 3–4 minutes steep time.
- Refillable K-cups: coarse grind minimizes clogging and bitterness.
- Hot drip: use a slightly finer setting if your brewer needs it.
- Adjust dose to taste—this blend stands up well to milk and sweeteners.
What flavor notes and characteristics should I expect?
Expect medium-dark roast depth with earthy, toasty, and slightly nutty coffee tones complemented by the woody, toasted profile of French chicory. The spice element adds a warm undertone while the Arabica base preserves clarity and nuanced aromatics.
- Primary: roasted coffee, toasted nuts, warm spice.
- Secondary: woody, slightly sweet chicory backbone.
- Mouthfeel: full-bodied with a smooth, lingering finish.
- Acidity: low to moderate, balanced by chicory’s roundness.
How should I store and prepare the one-pound bag for best results?
Keep the bag sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light to maintain freshness. For maximum flavor, use within a few weeks of opening and grind only if you have a grinder that allows for a consistent coarse setting.
- Reseal bag after each use or transfer to an airtight container.
- Cold brew ratio: about 1:4 to 1:8 concentrate (coffee to water) depending on taste.
- French press ratio: ~1:15 (coffee to water) as a starting point.
- Store away from heat sources and humidity for best shelf life.
Who is this for? Grady's Cold Brew New Orleans Style is ideal for people who enjoy a richer, slightly sweeter coffee experience with the rustic character of chicory—home cold-brewers, French-press fans, and anyone seeking a coffee that holds up well to milk, cream, or iced preparations. It’s a practical one-pound option for households that brew frequently or for small offices wanting café-style flavor without daily trips out.
