Hey coffee lovers!
Today, I'm gonna show you how to make the perfect cold brew at home.
Trust me, once you try this, you won't want to go back to store-bought.
First off, you need some good quality coffee beans. Go for a medium or dark roast for a richer flavor — our Medium Roast and Dark Roast collections are great starting points.
Grind them coarsely. Think breadcrumbs, not flour.
You'll need about one cup of ground coffee for every four cups of water.
Now, grab a large jar or pitcher — or better yet, use our Cold Brew Maker, which is designed specifically for this process with a built-in filter for easy straining. Add your coffee grounds, then pour in cold, filtered water.
Give it a good stir to make sure all the coffee is wet. Cover it and let it steep for about 12 to 24 hours. Patience is key here!
Once your coffee has steeped, it's time to strain it. Use a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter to separate the grounds from the liquid. You can also use our Stainless Steel Coffee Filters for a reusable, eco-friendly option.
And there you have it! Your homemade cold brew concentrate.
To serve, dilute it with water or milk to your taste. I usually go for a 1-1 ratio. Add ice, and maybe a splash of vanilla or a dash of cinnamon if you're feeling fancy.
Or, if you'd rather skip the wait entirely, grab our ready-made Cold Brew Coffee — smooth, rich, and ready to pour over ice.
Cold brew is perfect for hot days, or when you need a smooth, less acidic coffee kick. Plus, it stays fresh in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Happy brewing!
