Flavor starts with the bean—where it’s grown, how it’s harvested, and how it’s roasted—but the brewing method has a major impact on both the taste of your coffee and your experience making it at home. Cold brew, in particular, offers a smooth, rich flavor that’s less acidic and easier to enjoy. Curious if cold brewing is right for you? We’ve broken down the process, science, and benefits of cold brew using the JARVA Cold Brew System to answer all your questions about this cool brewing method.
Why Cold Brew?
1. Longer Freshness
One of cold brew’s biggest perks is its long shelf life. Unlike hot-brewed coffee, which can lose its freshness in hours, cold brew stays fresh and drinkable for up to two weeks when stored in the fridge. With the JARVA Cold Brew System, you can brew large batches and enjoy coffee on demand without daily preparation. In fact, 1 lb of coffee brewed with JARVA produces a concentrate equivalent to 18 tall cold brews from your local coffee shop!
2. Gentler on Your Stomach
Ever get that uncomfortable acidic feeling after your morning coffee? Cold brew might be the solution. The cold brewing process reduces acidity by up to 70%, making it much gentler on your stomach than traditional hot-brewed coffee. Plus, JARVA’s natural paper filters remove unwanted oils and sediment, ensuring a smooth, low-acid cup. No more bitterness—just pure coffee flavor.
3. Higher Caffeine Content
Cold brew often packs a stronger caffeine punch than regular hot coffee. With the JARVA System, you create a concentrated brew that can be diluted to your liking, giving you control over the caffeine level. Whether you prefer a bold wake-up call or a milder cup, JARVA lets you customize your brew to perfection.
4. Perfect for All Seasons
Cold brew is a versatile option, perfect for any season. On hot summer days, enjoy it chilled over ice for a refreshing pick-me-up. In colder months, simply heat up your cold brew concentrate for a smooth, less acidic hot coffee. Say goodbye to watery iced coffee and hello to rich, refreshing cold brew—year-round.
The Best Beans for Cold Brew
Both the origin and roast of your coffee beans play a key role in the flavor of your cold brew. Many coffee lovers prefer light to medium roasts because they’re naturally higher in acidity, and the cold brewing process helps balance that out. The JARVA Cold Brew System is designed to extract the best flavors from any roast, but single-origin beans especially shine by highlighting the distinct notes of their region. Plus, JARVA’s patented pressure-based filtration system allows you to use medium-ground coffee—no need for specialized grinders or hunting down coarse-ground coffee.
How to Brew Cold Brew with JARVA
The JARVA Cold Brew System uses 64oz Mason jars to fully immerse your coffee grounds in water, allowing maximum extraction of flavors and caffeine. Here’s how to brew:
- Add your desired amount of medium or coarse ground coffee to the wide-mouth Mason jar.
- Fill the jar with water and stir or shake to ensure all the grounds are fully immersed.
- Let it steep in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
- Use JARVA’s quick pressure-based filtration system to filter the coffee, leaving you with a smooth, rich concentrate.
With the JARVA System, the slow, tedious filtration process is a thing of the past. Your cold brew experience is simple, mess-free, and results in a delicious concentrate that can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.
How to Serve Cold Brew
Ready to enjoy your cold brew? Here’s how to serve it. Cold brew is a concentrate, so you’ll want to dilute it before drinking. Depending on how strong you like your coffee, fill a glass with ice, then mix equal parts cold brew concentrate with water or milk. Need help finding the perfect balance?

Why JARVA’s Design Stands Out
The JARVA Cold Brew System is designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind. Compact enough to fit on your kitchen counter, it uses common 64oz Mason jars to steep your coffee. What makes JARVA stand out is its unique pressure-based filtration system, which filters an entire batch in just 60 seconds—no more waiting for gravity to do the job.
Our system’s reusable natural paper filters also ensure your cold brew is smooth and free from sediment or oils, delivering a clean, refreshing taste every time. Plus, the durable Mason jars store your cold brew safely and keep it fresh in the fridge for up to two weeks.
By choosing JARVA, you’re investing in a high-quality cold brew system that offers a faster, cleaner, and more flavorful brewing experience. Perfect for coffee lovers who value convenience without compromising on quality.
