What Products Grady's Makes
Grady's Cold Brew makes New Orleans-style coffee. They use a special method called cold brewing. This means they soak ground coffee in cold water. They let it steep for about 20 hours. After that, they filter out the coffee grounds. This process creates a strong coffee concentrate.
The company sells different types of products. You can buy their coffee as a ready-to-drink beverage. They also sell the coffee concentrate. This concentrate can be mixed with water or milk. They also offer pre-packaged bags of coffee beans.
