COLD BREW COFFEE RECIPE
Grind setting for Cold Brew: very coarse
Coffee/water ratio: about 1 to 5. So about 100 grams of coffee to 500 ml water*
Steep/extraction time: 20 hours
*Note this makes cold brew coffee concentrate which can be diluted to suit your desired taste. We typically recommend adding an equal amount of water.
BEST COLD BREW MAKERS
For large, commercial cold brew batches, a Toddy is a simple and affordable system.
For home users, we like Hario Cold Brew Maker.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Assuming the appropriate coarse grind setting, if your results are:
sour coffee then steep longer
bitter coffee then steep shorter
Of course the quality of bean you use is important as well. So always use Barefoot beans:)
