When making cold brew, we suggest making cold brew concentrate that you then dilute to your preferred taste.
To make the concentrate, we use a 1:8 brewing ratio. For every 1 oz of ground coffee (28.35g) you will use 8 oz of water (226.8g). For example: 8 oz of ground coffee --> 64 oz of water --> yields 52 oz of cold brew concentrate
- Place the coarsely ground coffee into the filter.
- Saturate coffee grounds with room-temperature water.
- Allow the coffee to steep refrigerated or unrefrigerated for at least 18 hours or longer to your preferred taste.
- Once your desired extraction has occurred, remove coffee grounds from the yielded cold brew concentrate.
- Cut concentrate with water. We have found that a 2:1 ratio (Cold Brew Concentrate to water) is the sweet spot for our cold brew.
- Store in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes from the team: These brew ratios and recipes are not meant to be prescriptive but rather a helpful guide to get you started. Our goal as a company is to provide a stepping stone to make brewing coffee a little less scary. We are here for you and we know you got this! Play around with ratios, make a lot of coffee, have fun with it, and if you run out of coffee - we will always have another bag ready for you!
