Cold Brew

Summer Refreshment

Cold Brew is a long-extraction method where coffee steeps in cold water for 12–24 hours. The result is incredibly smooth, sweet, and low-acid coffee. Perfect for summer — it can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Step by Step

1

Grind the coffee

Measure 100 g of coffee and grind very coarse — even coarser than French Press. The grounds should look like roughly cracked pepper.

2

Combine coffee and water

Pour the coffee into the jar and add 1,000 ml of cold filtered water. Stir well to ensure all grounds are wet.

3

Cover and steep

Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap. You can steep at room temperature for 12 hours or in the fridge for 18–24 hours for a gentler flavor.

4

Strain

Strain the coffee through a fine sieve, cheesecloth, or paper filter. For a cleaner result, strain twice. Don't press the grounds — it will become bitter.

5

Dilute to taste

The resulting concentrate is quite strong! Dilute 1:1 with water, milk, or plant milk. Experiment with the ratio to your taste.

6

Serve over ice

Fill a glass with ice and pour the diluted cold brew. Add syrup, milk, or vanilla if desired. Store the concentrate in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Pro Tip

Use coffee with chocolate and caramel notes for best results. Cold brew is ideal as a base for coffee cocktails!
