Make Perfect Cold Brew at Home

The key is coarse grounds and patience! Don't over-extract or it becomes bitter.

Quickest Win

1. Use a coarse grind, like French Press. Finer grinds over-extract in cold brew.
2. Ratio: 1 cup coffee grounds to 4 cups water (adjust to taste).
3. Steep for 12-24 hours in the fridge. Longer = stronger.

Proper Cold Brew

1. Invest in a dedicated cold brew maker (see products). They filter better and are reusable.
2. Experiment with different beans: light roasts work well.
3. Taste test after 12 hours, then every hour until you hit your desired strength.

Pro tip: Cold brew concentrates last for a week in the fridge. Dilute it with water or milk to taste.
