Cold Brew
This could possibly be the easiest way to brew and consume coffee, though it does require some patience. The extensive 12-14 hours of brew time brings out plenty of rich, sweet, and chocolatey flavors, and also allows the coffee to store really well. It’s hard to argue with an ice-cold cup of coffee on a hot day, especially when it can be brewed in larger batches so it’s ready whenever you want it.

Before You Brew
Fresh Coffee The single most important part of a good cup is starting with high quality, freshly roasted coffee. We aim to drink our coffee within a 14 day window of being roasted.
Purified Water Start with filtered water for best results. If your tap water already has a lot of dissolved solids then it will negatively impact your ability to brew the coffee.
Scale Consider purchasing a scale for your brewing. You'll find it will really boost the consistency and quality in your morning cup of coffee.

After 12-14 hours, remove cover, place brewer over carafe, and remove stopper to begin the draining process. This can take about 15 minutes - if the dripping stalls, use a spoon to gently stir and break up the grounds until draining continues. Dilute with equal parts water, milk, or alternative of your choice and enjoy!
