Cold Brew Iced Coffee

[PiercedCub32]

the cheesecloth is genius LOL, straining the grinds out is the worst part of making cold brew. But I definitely use a higher coffee to water ratio. I use 1 lb of coffee for 9 cups of cold filtered water. The point of cold brewing is to get a coffee concentrate ;o) Thanks for the video!

Why don't you brew it hot and wait 14-15 hours and it will be cold by then?

@wahlauehxxx the cold brew method makes a concentrated coffee that you later dilute before drinking (or pour over ice) and this method produces a truer flavor of the bean and is 69.9 % less acidic than hot brewing ;o) if you like coffee, I highly recommend you try this!

Was that a NSF certified rubber band?

You realize you just used pre-ground coffee AND put a rubber band in it, right? Yum...... BTW, I agree that using the cheesecloth looks convenient but it also seems like a waste of money when a strainer is free.

rhino79, I disagree, and think this is a good idea. In my opinion, I'd rather not wait for the water to drain through a filter or strainer, but instead pull out the cheese cloth, and I'm done.

This is an unnecessarily complicated way to make cold brew coffee. The cheesecloth bag is unnecessary. Put ground coffee in water. Wait. Then pour the liquid through a strainer.

@rhino79 Or use a french press, if making smaller amounts, that is (which is actually better anyway, since cold brewed coffee gets stale after about two weeks).
