Cold brew coffee brings out the distinct flavors of specialty coffee beans. I can’t resist a refreshing cold brew on a hot day 🙂

Here’s a simple cold brew recipe using 80 Cup specialty coffee:

Cold brew equipment

Large glass jar or pitcher with a lid
Coffee filter or fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth
Stirring spoon

Cold brew water and grind size

Water Quality in Coffee Brewing: Water quality is crucial for coffee brewing. Using fresh, clean, and soft water enhances the overall taste of your coffee. Avoid using hard or unfiltered water; if the water doesn’t taste good by itself, it won’t make great coffee.

Freshness of Coffee Beans and Grind Size: For optimal flavor extraction, it’s essential to use freshly roasted and ground coffee. Grinding the coffee just before brewing ensures that all the flavors are fully extracted and vibrant. Grind your coffee beans to a coarse consistency.

Water Temperature: Room temperature water or cold water is ideal for cold brew.

Cold brew steps

Combine Coffee and Water:

In a large glass jar or pitcher, combine the coarsely ground coffee beans and cold filtered water.
Stir gently to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated with water.

Steep:

Longer, colder steeping brings out the best notes in cold brew.
Cover the jar or pitcher with a lid and let it steep in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours.
The longer you steep, the stronger and more concentrated the cold brew will be.

Filter or Strain the Cold Brew:

After steeping, you can filter it through a coffee filter for a cleaner brew.
Or strain the cold brew using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the larger coffee grounds.

Store and Serve:

Transfer the strained cold brew into a clean jar or pitcher for storage.
Cold brew coffee can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
To serve, dilute the cold brew concentrate with water, milk, or your choice of milk alternative, and add ice as desired.

Enjoy your refreshing cold brew made with 80 Cup specialty coffee!
