Perfect Cold Brew Coffee

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 ounces dark roast coffee beans

  coarsely ground
• 20 ounces filtered water

Instructions

• 1 When you’re ready to start brewing, the first step is to grind your beans. Using
  a burr grinder (if possible), grind your beans to a coarse grind size. Your cold
  brew will be steeping for many hours, so you don’t want a finer grind.
• 2 Add the grounds to the coffee compartment of your cold brew maker or the main
  body of your French press.
• 3 Pour cold, filtered water into the cold brew maker, up to the fill line. Then
  place the lid on top, making sure it seals.
• 4 Leave your cold brew in the refrigerator for 12-18 hours, depending on how
  strong you like your coffee. Don’t leave it steeping for more than 24 hours --
  your brew will end up over-extracted and bitter!
• 5 Take the grounds out once your cold brew is fully brewed. If your cold brew
  maker doesn’t have a great filter, you may want to pour the coffee through a
  filter (paper or metal) to catch the remaining coffee grounds.
• 6 Keep in mind that this process produces a cold brew concentrate, so you’ll want
  to water it down in your glass. The remaining cold brew concentrate should last
  up to two weeks in your refrigerator.
