Cold Brew Coffee

How to make cold brew coffee using a jar.

Cold Brew coffee is less bitter and it is easier on your stomach. People with acid reflux favor it.

I've recently changed my measurements to 8oz coffee 4 cups cold water in a 65oz jar ,and I now used 1.5 oz of concentrate per cup of coffee. It's strong but smooth. Play around with it!

This video shows a 65oz jar. Add 7.5oz of coffee to the jar. The jar is topped off with cold water, shook, and filled again to the top after shaking. This yields about 58oz of coffee concentrate. To make your coffee add 2oz of concentrate to a standard coffee cup and fill with hot water.



More coffee can be extracted after it stops dripping through the filter by the filter. this settles the wet grounds.

You can also use the concentrate for iced coffee or espresso coffees.

Coffee does not contain acid. If it did, it would taste sour. Coffee, to most people tastes bitter, and that is because of caffeine, (theobromine) which is a "bitter" alkyloid. This alkyloid causes the stomach to produce excess acid, which most people think was in the coffee they drank.

Thanks for sharing that info about coffee.

There most definately is acid in coffee.

Normally brewed coffee is pH 5.5 or so, which is definitely acidic. And If your stomach produced more acid when you ate alkaline substances, Tumms and Alkaseltzer would make stomach problems worse not better.

Also, caffeine is not theobromine.

Each batch makes about 21 ounces of concentrate. Yield depends on the size of your cup and the strength of the coffee. I like a my coffee strong and use 1.5 ounces per cup, so I get about 14 cups from 1 lb of coffee.

Hey! I was wondering if you could tell us how much you make with one batch. I mean, if you put 4 cups of water in, how many cups of extract do you get out?

Thank you, and i love your 'MacGyvery' solution! lol!

The sound is working. Check the audio control on the video.

[J2daoe]

Is there supposed to be sound or did copyrights take that from you too?

@BlackHoleSun1988 Thumbs up on this one. Perfect logic. Don't know what the heck the other person is talking about.

@raparee001 Some pesticides are heavier than water and might settle and concentrate near the bottom of the cold brew container. Heat will probably destroy pesticide and fungicide residues, but there will be a greater concentration of them in the bottome of the liquid cold concentrate, especially if it's stored a long time. Frequent aggitation of the brew might help keep everything evenly distributed, including heavier flavinoid oils that might settle to the bottom.

@OpiumKoolaid Won't adding boiling water to the concentrate destroy the fungicide and pesticide residues?
