This Cold Brew Doesn’t Mess Around (And It Starts With the Right Beans)

At Nexus Coffee, we don’t do average. We’re not here to churn out mass-market mud. We roast for people who know good coffee when they taste it—and want something that actually lives up to the hype.

We don’t bottle cold brew, but we do sell the exact beans you want to use for it. And if you care even a little bit about how your cold brew tastes, that matters.

Our medium roast single origin from the highlands of Mexico? Yeah, that one. It’s smooth, chocolatey, and stupidly good over ice. Perfect for homemade cold brew that doesn’t taste like a mistake.

So What Makes These Beans So Good for Cold Brew?

First, it’s all about where they come from. We source from the lush, high-elevation farms of Mexico where beans grow slow and soak up flavor. More time on the plant = more flavor in your cup.

Then we roast them medium to keep the toffee and cocoa notes intact—without turning them into ash. That roast level strikes the balance: bold but not bitter. Sweet but not soft.

This roast profile hits the sweet spot for cold brew: bold, low acidity, super drinkable. If you’re making your own cold brew at home (and you should be), this is the stuff you want in your fridge.

Flavor Notes (But Make It Casual)

First sip? Think dark chocolate and toffee. Smooth. Clean. None of that mouth-drying bitterness you get from over-roasted beans. And if you catch a little floral finish? That’s on purpose. These beans are balanced like a tightrope walker.

No weird aftertaste. No burnt rubber vibes. Just clean, velvety cold brew that actually makes your mouth happy.

Why Cold Brew at Home Just Hits Different

Hot coffee’s great. But cold brew made from fresh beans? That’s summer in a glass. It’s smoother, easier on the stomach, and stupidly refreshing. Plus, when you make it at home with beans that were roasted just for you—not six months ago—you actually taste the difference.

Cold brew made from fresh beans punches harder. It’s got depth. It’s got body. And it doesn’t need a flavor cover-up. You get the richness without needing to drown it in cream or sugar. Unless you’re into that. We don’t judge.

How to Make Cold Brew With Nexus Beans

It’s dead simple. Coarse grind your beans. Use a 1:4 or 1:5 coffee-to-water ratio. Steep in cold water for 12–18 hours. Strain. Chill. Sip. Repeat.

Want it stronger? Go 1:3 and mix with water or milk later. Want it lazy? Toss the grounds in a mason jar and let time do the work. You don’t need fancy gear to make great cold brew. Just good beans and a little patience.

Perfect Pairings

This stuff goes with everything. Pastries. Chocolate. Your inbox. That 3 p.m. existential crisis. Brunch with friends. Solo hikes. Writing your next big idea in a notebook on the porch. Cold brew doesn’t discriminate.

Cold Brew Beans Worth Bragging About

There are plenty of coffee brands. Some focus on speed. Some on hype. We care about quality. Sustainability. And making sure your cup—whether hot, iced, or cold brewed—is something you actually look forward to.

We roast when you order. We ship in compostable bags. And every bag helps reforest the planet and clean up our oceans. Coffee with a conscience. Flavor with a purpose.
