7 Brew Cold Brews 2026

Cold Brew at 7 Brew is coffee steeped at cold temperatures for 16–24 hours, then filtered into a smooth concentrate. It is not iced coffee (which is hot-brewed then chilled). The cold extraction makes it naturally smoother, less acidic, and higher in caffeine than any hot-brewed coffee method.

A Small Cold Brew has approximately 140–160mg of caffeine. A Large has 280–320mg. This is 20–30% more than espresso-based Classics of the same size. A Large Cold Brew approaches 75% of the FDA's recommended daily limit of 400mg.

Yes — significantly. Cold Brew has up to 67% less acidity than hot-brewed coffee because the cold extraction does not release the same bitter, acidic oils that heat does. It is a much better choice for people with acid reflux, sensitive stomachs, or those who find regular coffee too harsh.

No. Cold Brew is defined by its cold extraction process — heating it would defeat the purpose. If you want a hot, smooth black coffee, order a Hot Americano instead. It is the closest hot equivalent to Cold Brew's smooth character.

Sweet cream cold foam is a thick, creamy vanilla foam that is poured on top of iced drinks. On Cold Brew, it creates a two-layer visual effect — white foam floating on dark coffee. As you drink, the foam mixes in gradually. It adds approximately 80–120 calories and costs $1.00–$1.25.

7 Brew Cold Brew is comparable in quality and smoothness. The main advantages: 7 Brew offers larger sizes (32oz Large vs 24oz Venti), includes flavor syrups in the base price, and charges less per ounce ($0.23/oz vs ~$0.35/oz). Starbucks includes vanilla sweet cream by default on some Cold Brew variants.

Among the 7 Classics, yes — Cold Brew has the highest caffeine per ounce. However, the 7 Energy drinks (a separate category) can match or exceed Cold Brew caffeine. If you want maximum caffeine from a coffee drink specifically, a Large Cold Brew with an extra shot is the strongest possible order.
