Why Make Iced Coffee at Home?

Home-brewed iced coffee saves time, money, and gives you total flavor control. Instead of paying $5 a cup, you can make barista-quality coffee for pennies.

• Customize your strength, sweetness, and milk ratio.
• Always ready when you need an afternoon boost.

Fun fact: Making your own iced coffee can save up to $25 a week for daily coffee drinkers.

Cold Brew vs. Iced Coffee — Know the Difference

They’re both chilled, but how they’re brewed changes the taste:

• Iced coffee: Brewed hot, cooled over ice. Bright and aromatic.
• Cold brew: Steeped in cold water for 12–24 hours. Smooth and low-acid.

If you crave mellow flavor and long-lasting freshness, skip the fancy gadgets—use Day to Day Coffee and try the DIY version of bulk cold brew kits under $50.

Make Cold Brew Without a Kit

You don’t need specialized gear to brew a perfect cold brew concentrate. Here’s how to do it using what you already have:

1. Add 1 cup of ground coffee to 4 cups of cold, filtered water.
2. Stir, cover, and refrigerate for 12–18 hours.
3. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or paper filter.
4. Store the concentrate in a sealed jar for up to a week.

Pour over ice, dilute with water or milk, and enjoy. That’s cold brew for less than $0.50 a cup—made with your favorite D2D blend.
