I’ve been sitting on this post for a minute because cold brew coffee is something close to my heart, and I keep forgetting to actually write this post.
BUT,
On Coffee with Den this morning, the triple threat talked about cold brew so I think now is the time to post.
The process:
Step 1: Put bag of ground coffee into tank and fill with water. I use filtered water to eliminate any sinky taste.
Step 2: Close lid and let sit for 24 hours outside fridge - so at room temp.
Step 3: Remove bag after 24 hours and fill tank back to the top to further dilute. Store in fridge.
The coffee is ready to go once you remove the bag, and you can add ice to cool down the coffee since it’s been at room temp.
To be honest, I did this last week for the first time and it was extremely good cold brew. Better than my normal method:
Typically I use a French press and scoop grounds into the press (x4), then fill with water and put top on. Leave in fridge overnight and then plunge the French press in the morning. It’s still great coffee that way but this big tank was a gift, as well as the bags of grounds that are made for cold brew from Enduro Coffee Roasters.
Either way, it’s my favorite.
Oh, one more thing. I have been a cold brew connoisseur since circa 2011, 2012 and I LOVE finding new local coffee shops. However, I still haven’t found a better cold brew than Starbucks. Their black cold brew with ice is the perfect blend. Not sure what they do to it.
