    It's GREAT!

    Cold or hot it is great! Ready anytime you are ready for a pick me up. The roast is nice, and the great thing about it is you can make it as strong or mild as you want.No more coffee maker in the morning!

    Delicious & strong

    An excellent product that I depend upon every day. I usually avoid subscriptions, but I made an exception for Wandering Bear Coffee because I know I shall happily use it every morning. Guests love it, too.

  • LM Verified purchase ★★★★☆

    Good quality coffee; a bit expensive

    Best cold brew! It has extra caffeine than Starbucks cold brew. The paper box does not distort the taste. It’s a the perfect size to grab and go in the morning. My only downside is the cost, they are pretty pricey, but if they are on sale it’s a good value.
