  • Tasty coffee concentrate
  • Versatile beverage utility
  • Smooth, balanced flavor
  • Attractive glass packaging
  • Insufficiently strong concentrate
  • Bulky glass bottle
  • Limited perceived shelf-life
  • Unclear concentration level in servings

The Simple Brew reviews assert the brand works: users praise a tasty, versatile coffee concentrate that makes quick, smooth Americanos, lattes, desserts and cocktails, but several reviewers want a stronger brew and more compact bottle options. The concentrate’s clean flavor, ease of use and attractive glass apothecary packaging recommend it to buyers; limited strength variants, short perceived concentration and bulky bottles may deter those seeking travel-friendly or longer-lasting options.

  • I found the coffee concentrate concept to be rather unique. It piqued my interest to try the product. The first thing I noticed when I received my package was how well the glass bottles were packed. The sturdy packaging was clearly well thought out to prevent spills and breaks. The apothecary style bottles which house the modern-day beverage have an old-world charm to them. As a creative person, it was easy to appreciate the clever juxtaposition. The coffee itself is a tasty medium body blend, lending itself to be a fairly versatile substitute for cold or hot brew concoctions. I personally enjoy it most as an iced americano or a Vietnamese cold brew. But I have used it to prepare desserts - it worked well for tiramisu and granita.

    Personally I found the concept to be intriguing at first, but I did find the term coffee “concentrate” to be a little open to interpretation. I had expected it to be a lot more concentrated than it was. The trouble with this was two fold. One, it takes a lot more effort in measuring quantities when preparing my coffee. Two, I go through the bottles a lot faster. One bottle suffices maybe 4-5 servings of coffee. Given that the bottles have a shelf life of two weeks, it’s not super convenient to replenish and restock it in time for use. So I do hope they can offer some super strength concentrates with a longer shelf life in the future.

  • After religiously swearing by pour overs for years, finally found a quicker, easier and tastier alternate for my daily coffee kick! It's smooth and earthy without any bitterness and blends beautifully with vegan milk as well! Highly recommend.

  • It’s coffee that awakens your mind, body and soul. It’s also great to experiment with and tailor make according to your taste buds

    Bottle sizing perhaps - for storage purposes wise. Everything else is excellent.

  • The Simple Brew is my solution to my everyday coffee concoctions! I used to spend so much time & effort behind my morning coffee cause I LOVE a good cuppa - I came across TSB’s Double Brew (strong just like I need it to be), my coffee prep time was just cut in half without compromising on the taste! JACKPOT Quality - 5/5 Taste - 5/5 Brew Strength - 5/5 Ease - 10/5!!!

  • Tried both their Single and Double Brew sometime back, and loved both!! Tried it hot with milk and cold with ice-cream and used it in my cake batter. A couple of friends even enjoyed it with some OJ. It’s quite a game changer for anyone who likes coffee. Highly recommend!

    The bottles can be a little bulky to carry around. Maybe come out with travel friendly options.

  • Stays true to its name (simple to use in any form). I've been consuming the TSB concentrate for almost a year and it hasn't once disappointed. I currently live in New York and usually have my friends/family traveling to the country bring me my stash. I most commonly put the concentrate to its potential for my cold brew, hot black coffee, Vietnamese coffee, Tiramisu and affogato.

    I like my coffee strong. Perhaps introduce a version stronger than the double brew?

  • Was my first time trying a coffee concentrate. Absolutely loved it. Such a unique product. Was a little confused on what to make with the concentrate but then again that is the beauty of the product, you can make anything where you require a coffee flavour. My favourite drink with the concentrate would be the Vietnamese Iced Coffee!

  • Amazing flavor and the sheer ease of making your own coffee concoctions when one is sleep deprived is deeply appreciated. It is an amazing product which every coffee lover needs to check out.

  • Consistent flavor, smooth finish, not acidic. Ideal for the time constrained coffee drinker. Easy to concoct into a latte or a black coffee. Simple and clear packaging.

    Would love to see more flavors brewed from different origin coffees. Wish you the best in bringing quality ready to pour coffee to Indian coffee connoisseur.

  • A delicious brew that works beautifully on its own and as a concentrate for desserts and cocktails! It's a clear, well-balanced flavour with a lovely aftertaste. Absolutely recommend!

  • Its easy, it’s fuss free, and most importantly very delicious!

  • They know their way around coffee. They make the process seamless and easy for the customer and their packaging is so aesthetically pleasing. Love everything about them!

    Feedback

    I’ve loved everything about my experience with them. If anything, they should look into expanding their line cause their coffee is amazing. That would be my only feedback.

  • It’s a great tasting coffee … simple to make

    Feedback

    Could help to have a stronger variant…

  • It is true to its name …. Simple brew ….. it is so simple & convenient to make a perfect coffee

    Feedback

    Could be a bit more stronger

  • I believe they are doing something new and interesting in the coffee space. They are one of the first to make a coffee brew. Coffee is very impactful and has a great crimson hue that settles in very well.

    Feedback

    Longevity is something that can be worked on - to increase shelf life to 60 days for those who don't take coffee that often.

  • The coffee concentrate is just amazing, so simple and easy to use. The taste is superb. The best part is you can use it for so many things other than just coffee beverages

  • Been following this brand since they started using test bottles - it's been a fantastic journey to see the brand come to life and the quality of the product continues to have the dedication it had from the first day. The only go-to cold brew in India!

    Feedback

    Some interesting ideas on how to spruce up the cold brew with different mixers!

  • I enjoy drinking coffee but not enough to want to make it myself. I end up spending money on store bought Americanos when I am out for work. The Simple Brew provided me with such an easy solution to having a good quality Americano right at home. The added bonus was discovering the versatile uses for cocktails! It also makes a great gift.

  • I have been having The Simple Brew for a while now, given my work hours and how there never seem to be enough in the day this has been a god sent. I am not one for too strong a hit - so the single brew it is for me!

    I wish it were easier to lug around. They have these lovely sustainable glass bottles , I just wish they were more compact. but the taste trumps all, so it's fine.
