Cold Brew at home
Quick tips
-
Play with the grind until you find your sweet spot
Start with a medium/coarse grind and adjust according to the in-cup result. A small variation can completely change the coffee's profile.
-
Divide the extraction into two pours
Instead of adding all the coffee and water at once, incorporate the second half of the coffee at 3 minutes. This promotes a more even and balanced extraction.
-
Use filtered water and freshly roasted coffee
They are two variables that have a huge impact on the final result and allow for a better appreciation of the origin's characteristics.
-
Let the Cold Brew sit undisturbed
Once prepared, keep it in the refrigerator for 6 hours and avoid shaking the container to achieve a cleaner and more stable extraction.
-
Filter concentrate before serving
Running it through one or two paper filters removes sediment and improves the drink's clarity. Then, serve it straight or with ice, according to your preference.
