Brewing Cold Coffee with Different Beans

Choose Your Coffee Beans

Select the type of coffee beans you want to use. This could be Arabica, Robusta, or a blend of both. Remember, the flavor profile of your cold brew will largely depend on the beans you choose.

Grind Your Beans

Grind your chosen coffee beans to a coarse consistency. A coarse grind is ideal for cold brewing as it prevents the coffee from becoming overly bitter.

Measure Your Coffee and Water

Measure your coffee and water. A good starting ratio is 1:8, meaning for every one part of coffee, you'll use eight parts of water. However, you can adjust this ratio to suit your taste.

Combine and Stir

Combine your coffee and water in a jar or French press. Stir the mixture well to ensure all the coffee grounds are fully immersed in the water.

Let it Brew

Cover your jar or French press and let it brew at room temperature. The brewing process should take anywhere between 12 to 24 hours, depending on the type of beans and your taste preference.

Strain and Serve

After brewing, strain the coffee into a clean jar or carafe to remove the coffee grounds. Your cold brew coffee is now ready to serve! You can enjoy it as is, or add milk, sweeteners, or ice to taste.
