COLD BREW COFFEE



Cold Brew Coffee image

Let's make cold brew coffee! It's easy to make, and it's so nice to have coffee ready to go. This recipe is written for a 1-quart wide-mouth mason jar; you can scale it up or down using 1 ounce* (28 grams) coffee per 1 cup water. The quantities provided will produce about 2 1/2 cups concentrate, which is enough for 5 cups of cold brew.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 ounces (85 grams) coarsely-ground coffee (that's about 3/4 cup whole coffee beans turned into about 1 1/2 cups* coarsely-ground coffee)
3 cups water (filtered water if you have it)

Steps:

  • In a 1-quart wide-mouth mason jar, combine the coffee and water. Stir to combine. I like to let my mixture rest for about 5 minutes and stir it again; the coffee grounds seem to gain more water exposure this way.
  • Put a lid on your container and refrigerate it for 12 to 18 hours.
  • When you're ready to strain your cold brew, place a thin paper coffee filter or a small, thin cotton napkin, cloth or handkerchief over a small fine-mesh sieve. Pour the concentrate through the prepared sieve into a liquid measuring cup or pitcher. Let it rest for a few minutes to let the last of the cold brew trickle down.
  • To serve, fill a glass with ice and fill it halfway with water. Then fill the rest of the glass with cold brew concentrate, and stir to combine. Cold brew concentrate will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, although I find that it has the best flavor within the first week.

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

25 grams (1/3 cup) medium-ground coffee
150 grams (about 1 1/2 cups) ice cubes (preferably made from filtered water)
250 grams (about 1 cup) filtered water, heated to 200 degrees F

Steps:

  • Assemble a pour-over coffee rig using a carafe, filter holder, and filter set on a digital kitchen scale.
  • Place the coffee in the filter and the ice in the carafe, carefully noting the weights.
  • Slowly pour 50 grams of the water over the coffee using a spiral pattern. Zero the scale, wait 40 seconds, then using the same spiral pattern, slowly pour the remaining 200 grams water over the coffee. This step should ideally take about 2 minutes. If using an electric kettle with a thermostat, you can dose out the water in batches, returning it to the heating element as needed.
  • When the coffee has finished brewing, remove the filter holder and discard or compost the grounds. Serve the coffee with any remaining ice or strain it out for a stronger brew.
