My cold brew tastes watery or too thick. Help!

Tried brewing Driftaway cold brew bags and doesn’t taste quite right?

Did your cold brew turn out too watery:
– Try steeping for a bit longer, or
– It might be too diluted. When you dilute the cold brew concentrate, use a little less water or milk Did your cold brew turn out too thick:
– Try steeping for slightly less time, or
– It might not be diluted enough. When you dilute after steeping, use a little more water or milk

That being said, it could be the coffee itself. If you’re used to drinking heavier coffees that taste like chocolate and nuts, for example, our Bright or Balanced cold brews might not be heavy or strong enough for you. If that’s the case, try the Bold cold brew profile instead! All our cold brews can be found here.
