Time 16h5m

Number Of Ingredients 2

3.5 ounces coffee (preferably whole bean)
24 ounces cool or room temperature (not cold water)

Steps:

  • Use your scale to weigh 100 g (approx. 3.5 ounces) of coffee. Grind the coffee very coarse, even coarser than you would for standard French press coffee.
  • Weigh 700 g (approx. 24 ounces) of water. Add the coffee to your French press. Then add the water to the coffee in the French press.
  • Stir until all of the grounds are wet. Leave on your counter at room temperature for at least 16 hours.
  • Press the plunger on the French press until you meet resistance from the grounds at the bottom. Don't squeeze the grounds against the bottom. Then decant the coffee into a large container for serving and storage

Time P1D

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups dark roast coffee (140 grams), ground to a medium coarse grind
3 1/2 cups (840 grams) filtered water*
8-cup / 34-ounce (1 liter) French Press

Steps:

  • Grind the coffee to a medium coarse grind.
  • Add the coffee grounds and water to the French press. Stir several times with a spoon.
  • Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate for 24 hours. (You can cover it with the top but the plunger must be up, making it difficult to fit in most refrigerators.)
  • Place the lid on the French press and slowly press the plunger all the way down. Pour the cold brew concentrate into a large glass jar or pitcher. Store refrigerated up to 1 week.
  • To serve, dilute 1/2 cup cold brew with 1/2 cup water or milk. If serving with ice, use the ice with 1/2 cup cold brew concentrate with 1/4 cup water.
