I used to buy $4 cold brew every morning, now I make it in a $12 pitcher overnight

Ran the numbers and I was dropping about $80 a month at the shop near my apartment in Austin, so I grabbed a cheap filter pitcher and started steeping grounds in the fridge before bed. The first batch tasted like wet cardboard because I used too fine a grind, but batch three was close enough that I stopped missing the line at 7am. Anyone else make the switch, and do you bother with a special grind size or just use whatever's in the bag?
