In addition to their Vacuum Insulated French Press, the folks at Coffee Gator also sent me a package with their Cold-Brew Coffee Maker Kit to try.

I’m not a big alcohol drinker. I might have a glass of red wine or a gin and tonic every now and then (maybe once a month?), typically only socially when out at concert venues. However, this coffee seemed much too out-of-the-ordinary to pass up when I saw it at the 8th and Roast location […]
