About Bare Brew
The Bare Brew Story
It started with a simple question: Why does every cold brew on the shelf have ingredients I can't pronounce?
Miles was tired of reading labels filled with preservatives, added sugars, and artificial flavors. He wanted a cold brew that was coffee and water, nothing else. So back in 2024 he started making his own — in a Chicago kitchen, one batch at a time. That's where the brand began.
After countless batches, endless taste tests, and learning everything about brewing, canning, and shelf-stable coffee — Bare Brew was born.
Our Formula Is Simple
2 Ingredients. That's it.
- Honduran Arabica Coffee
- Filtered Water
No sugar. No preservatives. No artificial anything. Clean, cold-brewed coffee with 320mg of natural caffeine and zero grams of sugar.
Most "healthy" coffees on the shelf still hide behind long ingredient lists. We don't. Flip the can — you'll see two ingredients. That's the whole point.
Why Bare Brew?
320mg Natural Caffeine — That's 320mg per 12 fl oz can, or 26.7mg per fl oz. More caffeine per can than a Red Bull (80mg / 8.4 fl oz), a Monster (160mg / 16 fl oz) or a Celsius (200mg / 12 fl oz), with no added sugar. Slow-steeped to extract caffeine naturally.
Zero Sugar, 20 Calories — No added sweeteners. No stevia. No sucralose. Coffee and filtered water. The panel reads 20 calories, 0g sugar, and 5g total carbohydrate per 12 fl oz can.
Shelf-Stable — It keeps at room temperature before opening, so it stores anywhere: pantry, gym bag, desk drawer. Chill it whenever you're ready.
Clean Label — You should be able to read and understand every ingredient in your coffee. Two ingredients. That's our standard.
