Cold Brew
Cold brew is our go-to for summer - smooth, low in acidity, and naturally chocolatey. It takes a little patience, but the hands-on time is minimal and the result is well worth it. Made at home, it keeps in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. One thing to keep in mind: 1 litre of water yields roughly 750ml of finished cold brew, since the coffee absorbs up to 20% of the water during steeping.
What you'll need
- A vessel of 1 litre or larger (a Mizudashi cold brew pot, Filter in Coffee Bottle, or even a French press all work well)
- 100g coffee, ground for cold brew (approximately 1 cup)
- 1 litre filtered water at room temperature (4 cups)
- A filter - muslin cloth or a pour over cone with filter paper
- A spoon
- Cling wrap if your vessel doesn't have a lid
- Scales if you have them, otherwise eyeballing is fine
How to brew
1
Add your coffee grounds into the vessel.
2
Pour in half the water and stir well until all the grounds are fully saturated.
3
Add the remaining water and give it one more stir.
4
Cover with a lid or cling wrap and leave to rest at room temperature.
5
After 16 hours, pour the brew through your filter into another vessel.
6
Strain a second time if you prefer a cleaner cup.
7
Refrigerate and serve black or with milk.
A few tips to get the best from your cup
If you spot a thin film of oil on the surface with a darker roast, don't worry - it's completely normal and won't affect the taste.
A second strain removes murky residue and gives a cleaner finish, but straining more than 3 times can strip too much from the brew.
Always brew covered - a lid or cling wrap keeps oxygen levels stable throughout the steep.
Dark roasts extract more easily, so 14 to 16 hours is plenty before they over-extract.
Medium-dark roasts benefit from a longer brew of 16 to 18 hours to develop full flavour.
Light roasts do best with a 14 to 16 hour steep - beyond 16 hours they can start to turn sour.
Use a 1:10 ratio of coffee to water and scale the recipe up or down from there.
