Cold Brew Coffee (Or Cold Brew Espresso)

Miles Hoffman

Report

This recipe explains how to make cold brew coffee by steeping coarse ground coffee beans in cool water for 12 hours to extract smooth, mellow flavors. It covers making both a regular cold brew and a stronger cold brew espresso by adjusting the coffee-to-water ratio. The concentrated brew can be served over ice or with milk as preferred.

Description

Cold Brew Coffee (Or Cold Brew Espresso) involves steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in filtered cool or room temperature water for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator. For a regular cold brew, use 90 grams of coffee beans with 500 ml of water, while cold brew espresso uses the same weight of beans but only 250 ml of water for a stronger concentration. The coffee grounds float to the top after steeping and are strained through a coffee filter-lined funnel to produce a smooth and balanced cold coffee concentrate. Filters can be repeated if a cleaner cup is desired. The spent grounds can be discarded or composted. This method highlights the delicate and less-acidic profile of cold brewed coffee compared to hot brewed methods. Cold brew can be enjoyed chilled over ice or diluted with milk or cream according to taste.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Add the ground coffee to a clean, tall mason jar (3 cup capacity).
Cover with cool or room temperature filtered water.
Give it a stir and cover with a lid.
Place into the fridge overnight, or at least 12 hours.
The next day, the coffee grounds will have floated to the top.
Line a funnel with a coffee filter and strain the cold brew into another clean glass jar.
If you prefer a very clean coffee, you can filter it over a sieve a second time.
Discard the coffee grounds or add them to your compost bin.
Enjoy over ice or with milk of your choice.
