For people who are building something

You know how your morning goes. You're up before you'd like to be, something is already waiting on you, and the first real decision of the day is what you're drinking while you get into it.

That decision shouldn't be interesting. It should be settled.

Bare Brew is a cold brew made to be the same every single morning — same taste, same lift, same can, whether it's a Tuesday you planned or a Tuesday that got away from you. You buy it once, it works, and then you stop thinking about it. That's the whole idea.

Not the strongest. The one you keep buying.

There's always a can that hits harder, and there's always a brand that wants to argue about it. We're not in that fight. Plenty of things will wake you up once. Not many are worth keeping in the fridge for a year.

What's in ours is coffee and filtered water. Honduran Arabica, slow-steeped, nothing added — no sugar, no sweeteners, no flavors, no preservatives. Two ingredients is the entire label, and it reads the same on every can we've made.

It's shelf-stable, so it keeps wherever you need it — pantry, gym bag, desk drawer — and goes cold whenever you're ready for it.

How much to keep around

Most people settle into the 12 Pack, because a morning routine runs out faster than you'd think and one flat shipping charge beats three.

Pack	Price per can	Lasts
12 Pack — $53.99	$4.50	About two to three weeks
6 Pack — $32.99	$5.50	A couple of weeks
4 Pack — $23.99	$6.00	Trying it out

The 12 Pack works out to $1.50 less per can than the 4 Pack — $18 back in your pocket across twelve cans, and one shipping charge instead of three.

Subscribing is the same idea taken one step further: it shows up on its own, and you can pause, skip, or cancel it in a click.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's actually in it?

Two ingredients: Honduran Arabica coffee and filtered water. No sugar, no sweeteners, no preservatives, no artificial anything. Two ingredients is about as short as an ingredient list gets.

How much caffeine is in a can?

320mg per 12 fl oz can, which works out to about 26.7mg per fluid ounce, and it comes from the coffee rather than from synthetic caffeine. Canned cold brews vary a lot in both can size and strength, so if you're comparing brands, compare milligrams per fluid ounce rather than per container — a larger container at the same concentration will always show a bigger number.

How many calories are in a can?

20 calories, and 5g of total carbohydrate — both from the coffee itself, not from anything we added. When you slow-steep real Arabica, a small amount of the coffee's own natural solubles ends up in the can. There's no sugar, no sweetener, no cream, no additive of any kind.

How much does shipping cost?

$8.99 flat, on every order, anywhere in the U.S., subscriptions included. There's no minimum spend and no free-shipping threshold to chase. Ordering a 12 Pack instead of three 4 Packs means paying that $8.99 once instead of three times.

Is 320mg of caffeine safe?

The FDA considers up to 400mg of caffeine per day safe for most healthy adults, so a can sits within that range, and the caffeine comes entirely from coffee rather than synthetic sources. That said, if you're sensitive to caffeine, pregnant, or have any health concerns, check with your doctor first.

Does it need to be refrigerated?

No. It's shelf-stable without preservatives, so it keeps in a pantry, a gym bag, or a desk drawer. Chill it whenever you're ready — most people keep a few in the fridge and the rest in the box.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Anytime — no contracts, no fees. Sign in to your account with the email you ordered with, open "See my subscriptions," and cancel or pause in one click — full steps on the manage your subscription page. You can also skip a delivery, change how often it arrives, or swap your pack size whenever you want. Can't get in? Email drinkbarebrew@gmail.com and we'll do it for you.

What if I don't like it?

There's a 30-day money-back guarantee. Get in touch within 30 days and we'll make it right.
