We’re excited to share that Food & Wine recently featured Jake Alexander, Coffee Director at The Barn at The Hope Farm, in its roundup of the best store-bought cold brews recommended by coffee professionals. Written by Gina Pace and published on August 4, 2026, the article highlights six expert-approved options for coffee drinkers who want an easy, dependable cold brew at home.

In the feature, Jake recommends La Colombe Medium-Roast Cold Brew Concentrate for its smooth, balanced flavor and versatility. He explains that milder, approachable cold brews tend to pair well with a variety of milks and syrups, while concentrates offer more control over strength and dilution.

Jake also highlights Bizzy Organic Medium-Roast Cold Brew as another favorite. He points to the brand’s organic coffee, recycled packaging, and practice of composting spent grounds, while noting that its rounded, chocolate-forward flavor makes it a strong base for flavored cold brew drinks and alternative milks.

We’re proud to see Jake and The Barn included in a national conversation about thoughtful coffee choices, quality ingredients, and the practical products professionals trust when brewing at home.
