Updated on 9/3/2017 at 11:45 AM

Stocking up on cold-brew coffee is one of the best ways to guarantee you always have a source of on-the-go caffeine waiting for you. And when our editors need a boost early in the morning but would rather skip the pot of brewed coffee and the long coffee-shop line, there are a few store-bought cold brews that we reach for. If you've browsed the aisles in the grocery store but haven't been sure which coffees are worth the purchase, look no further. Ahead, see which bottles we totally swear by and why, then pick up a few the next time you want to fill your fridge with the perfect morning pick-me-up.

Stumptown Cold Brew Coffee ($4)

"Stumptown! I get it at Whole Foods. Just a great, classic cold brew. It's strong and not too bitter. I drink it over ice, topped with La Croix sparkling water." — Tara Block, content director

Califia Farms XX Espresso Cold Brew Coffee With Almond Milk ($3)

"My favorite is the Califia Farms XX Espresso With Almond Milk. My fiancé and I have to stop ourselves from going through a giant bottle every other day, because it's just so good! Not too sweet and just strong enough, this almond milk coffee concoction is definitely a must every time we hit the grocery store." — Brinton Parker, assistant editor, Trending and Viral Features

Chameleon Cold-Brew Coffee ($5)

"While I do love the Califia Farms Concentrated Cold Brew, I've really gotten very into Chameleon Cold Brew. It has a really smooth taste that's less overwhelming than other cold-brew concentrates I've tried. Truth be told, I also just prefer the way the glass bottle looks in my fridge." — Kelsey Garcia, editorial assistant

"This is my go-to coffee for giving me a very tasty jump-start in the morning. There are a few different flavors so I never get bored, and they are all delicious!" — Hilary White, editor, Love & Sex and Smart Living

House Dark Roast Coffee ($5)

"I'm not much of a kombucha drinker, but I love one of House's other products: the dark roast cold-brew coffee, which I buy at Whole Foods. It has such a bold, chocolaty flavor and is low in acidity, which is a must for me — it goes down incredibly smooth." — Erin Cullum, assistant editor, Food

Grady's Cold Brew Coffee ($7)

"Grady's Cold Brew! It's made in New York. I like my cold brew sweet and this sort of tastes like Vietnamese coffee to me." — Alessandra Foresto, senior editor, Latina

Jittery John's Cold Brew Coffee ($3)

"My favorite is Jittery John's. It's infused with chicory for a hint of sweetness and is delicious with almond milk. It's the perfect thing to stock in the fridge for lazy Summer days." — Angela Elias, content director

Califia Farms Triple Shot Cold Brew Coffee With Almond Milk ($3)

"I never buy creamy cold-brew coffees because I hate milk, but the one exception I'll make is Califia Farms' Triple Shot Cold Brew Coffee With Almond Milk. It lets me indulge in that smooth and creamy coffee taste without drinking any dairy." — EC
