Equipment

  • French Press Coffee Maker
  • Coffee Grinder (Optional)

Ingredients

  • 32 oz Filtered Water
  • 150-180 grams Coarse Coffee grounds

Instructions

  • Grind the Beans: Weigh around 150 - 180 Grams of coffee beans and grind them to coarse settings
    You can use pre-ground coffee too! Just make sure that the grind size is coarse.
  • Mix the Coffee and the water: Add the coffee grounds to the French Press and pour 32 oz water over it.
    Gently push the coffee grounds downwards with a ladle and soak them
  • Let it Steep Overnight: Let this mixture sit for 12–16 hours so the water extracts flavors from the coffee grounds
  • Push the Plunger: The next morning, Gently plunge the plunger all the way down to separate the coffee ground from the brewed coffee. 
  • Serve and Enjoy: This cold brew coffee will be very strong and sharp. If you like it that way drink it straight!
    However, I like to pour this cold brew concentrate over ice to prepare iced coffee.
    You can also add milk, creamers, or sweeteners to make your drink fancy
