You mean you don't have a dedicated generator for it?

you grind coffee anyway. what's it to you for investing a bit more time grinding enough for multiple servings, which you can keep refrigerated anyway?

Keeping coffee refrigerated does not actually help it stay fresher. It does introduce moisture though which will negatively affect the coffee.
It is recommended that you brew the coffee with a few minutes of grinding. Otherwise you lose some of the aromatics and oils.
My espresso machine grinds just enough for a single or double shot of espresso directly into the portafilter.
The extremely fine, powdery grind used for espresso would not be appropriate for cold brew. You would want a medium to coarse grind similar to French press.
I still have my Bodum burr grinder that could grind beans appropriate for cold brew, but again, they quickly degrade.

Phur i went to order coffee from kalamazoo, they tacked on $12 to ship $12 worth of coffee. For a 12 ounce bag of coffee thats really not fragile or anything is really bad shipping costs. (basically a regular can of pop)
May hit up craig and see if he can hook it up. lol

All I'm saying is burr grind what you need, then cold brew right away. And let's be honest here you'll drink the whole batch in a day anyway. Plus sealed containers in the fridge wont introduce moisture. Physics says so.

I had to Google what happened to them (Chi-Chi's)....closed/bankruptcy due to a Hepatitis A outbreak in 2003-2004

Says there was only one restaurant left until 2011, lol
As for the store bought "On the Border" chips....they're meh/not the same.
They make the chips fresh (along with the salsa) in the restaurant.
If you live near an On the Border...just walk in & order a quart of salsa to go (it's like $6) and they'll give you two big bags of the fresh chips too to go with it.
If I'm making dinner at home (like tacos)...I'll swing by there just for that to go with it.
It's really that good

Keep meaning to get some coffee to use for cold brew. Maybe Ill do it this weekend.
Finally bought a rolling island for the condo. Will finally be able to have more "counter space" and have a place to put all my freaking pots and pans.
