Servings: cups cold brew concentrate
Ingredients
- 6 oz = 2 cups coarsely ground coffee
- 30 oz = 3¾ cups water
You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.
Instructions
- Grind your coffee beans to a coarsley grind (see step-by-step photos).
- Put the ground coffee into a wide-mouthed mason jar or container.
- Add the water and give it a good stir.
- Close the lid and let steep at room temperature for 12-24 hours.
- To strain the cold brew, place a cheesecloth, nut milk bag (our favorite) or a thin paper filter over a fine mesh sieve. Pour the cold brew through the sieve into a large pitcher or jar.
- Serve diluted with water and/or milk. We prefer a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio (1 part cold brew concentrate, 2 parts water or milk, eg. ¼ cup coffee & ½ cup water or milk) but see our serving suggestions for more details and options.

Notes
- How to use cold brew concentrate: The dilution ratio will depend on how strong you like your coffee. We love a dilution ratio of 1:2, meaning you add 1 part concentrate and 2 parts water, milk or a combination of the two to a serving glass. Please check out our serving suggestions above for more details.
- Coarse ground coffee: For best results, use coarsely ground coffee.
- Grind in batches. To get a consistent set of grounds, grind the beans in batches, especially if you have a small coffee grinder.
- Filtered Water: We recommend using fresh filtered water when making your coffee concentrate.
