Hot weather or not, cold brew coffee has earned its place as a year-round favorite. It’s smooth, less acidic, and perfect for those who like their caffeine fix chilled and refreshing.
Here’s how to make café-quality cold brew at home with no fancy equipment required.
What You’ll Need:
- Fresh, coarsely ground coffee (about 1 cup)
- 4 cups cold, filtered water
- A large jar or French press
- A fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
Steps:
1. Combine Grounds + Water
In a large jar or French press, mix 1 cup of coarse coffee grounds with 4 cups of water. Stir gently to ensure all the grounds are saturated.
2. Let It Steep
Cover and let it sit at room temperature or in the fridge for 12–24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
3. Strain and Filter
Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or even a coffee filter to remove the grounds.
4. Serve Over Ice
You now have a cold brew concentrate. Mix 1:1 with water, milk, or your favorite creamer. Add ice and enjoy!
Pro Tip:
Use medium to dark roasted beans for the best cold brew flavor. Our Sumatra or Brazil Mogiana roasts are ideal choices.
