Coldbrew coffee for ketogain preworkout is great!

Just grinding as usual, but I found that if you mix coffee with protein shake for the pre workout, coldbrew seems like the best choice.

What I do is a get a hario cold brew maker, 60g of course ground coffee, and 780ml of water to fill it to the brim. 16 hour in air conditioned room, then transfer to fridge without the coffee ground.

You can always do use something else or just a mason jar, of course. The bottle above just makes it convenient and less messy.

The darn thing is caffeinated as fuck. I use 200ml of the result for my pre-workout along with mct oil and some potassium salt. Shattered my lifting records today and my muscles are crying (in a good way).

Compared to the usual nespresso machine coffee (not a high bar, I know), here are the pros:

1. It is already cold, means cold shake which is nicer. Usually I have to make the coffee the night before so I can chill it in the fridge.
2. Damn it taste good.
3. When scaled for the same price, I get about 3-4 times the caffeine per dollar. You can always dilute it, so it is cheaper when measured in term of caffeine. Your choice of coffee will influence the price, of course.

As for the cons:

1. Requires 16 hour brewing. Can be made in big batch so its not too bad.

I feel like if I were to make coffee the manual way (grind and tamper my own espresso, or drip it with filter) I will get more caffeine per gram of coffee... but cold brew method strikes a good balance between convenience and efficiency to me. Most of the prep is overnight. It is ready to mix. It goes very well with protein shake.

Of course, this is just a small tip. Calories, macros, and consistency come first. Just thought that it'd be nice to share some of the little things to enjoy along the journey.
