How Much Coffee to Use

Use 5oz of coffee and 23oz of water for 19oz of concentrated coffee.

Use 10oz of coffee and 46oz of water for 38oz of concentrated coffee.

The Process

1. Place the ground coffee in the container.

2. Add the water and with a spoon tap gently on the wet coffee grounds to saturate them.

3. Cover the grounds and allow them to steep for 12-16 hours.

4. Line a fine-mesh strainer with a standard coffee filter and fit it over a clean container. Working in small batches, slowly pour the coffee into the filter until all of the liquid has passed through the strainer. The coffee will pass through in a slow stream, don’t force it through. Discard the contents of the strainer.

5. The coffee is now at a concentrate and can be diluted with water to achieve the desired body strength. Generally the concentrated is diluted using a coffee to water ratio of 1:2.

6. Cold brew can be served chilled over ice and with or without milk.

7. The concentrated solution can be kept refrigerated for up to 10 days.
