Cold Brew Method

Cold Brew Guide

Cold brew coffee involves steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period of time, usually 12-24 hours. This method produces a smooth and less acidic cup of coffee that is served cold.

Equipment:

  • Coffee grinder
  • Ground coffee
  • Water
  • Large jar or pitcher
  • Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer.

Steps:

  1. Grind the coffee beans to a coarse consistency.
  2. Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the jar or pitcher.
  3. Add cold water to the jar or pitcher, using a ratio of 1:8 coffee to water.
  4. Stir the coffee and water mixture.
  5. Cover the jar or pitcher and let it steep in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours.
  6. Once the steeping process is complete, strain the coffee through the cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer.
  7. Serve the coffee over ice.

Tips:

  • Use a coarse grind to prevent over-extraction.
  • Experiment with steeping times and coffee to water ratios for different flavors.
  • Use a sealable jar or pitcher to prevent spills and maintain freshness.
