Foolproof Cold Brew Coffee
Cold brew iced coffee is so easy to make with a cold brew maker!
Servings: 4 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup coffee beans
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Grind coffee medium-coarse.Medium-coarse is the same setting used to brew coffee in a French press. On the Barataza Encore coffee grinder, set it to #24.You can also buy ground coffee and use that to make cold brew.
- Take the mesh filter out of the cold brew maker and add ground coffee.Take the mesh filter out so you don't accidentally put any of the ground coffee into the pitcher.1 cup coffee beans
- Place the mesh filter into the cold brew maker pitcher. Pour room temperature or cold water on top of the ground coffee.Add water in slowly.4 cups water
- Cover pitcher and put in refrigerator for 15 hours.If you're using pre-ground coffee, cold brew it for 8-12 hours.
- Remove mesh filter with the ground coffee and pour cold brew coffee into a cup with ice.Optional: Serve with milk or half & half and sweeten with simple syrup. There's no need to dilute the coffee.
Notes
- Use filtered water for a better tasting cold brew.
- There's no need to dilute the coffee with water. Adding the cold brew into ice dilutes it perfectly but if you feel the cold brew is too strong for you, feel free to add some cold water.
- Medium-coarse/French press grind is best. You can use pre-ground coffee if you don't have a coffee grinder. Because cold brew is very forgiving, you don't need to use expensive coffee.
