Cold Brew Guide

Cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period:

Cold Brew Ratios:

  • • Light: 1:8 (ready to drink)

  • • Strong: 1:3 (extra concentrate, dilute 1:2)

Cold Brew Process:

  • Grind: Coarse grind (like sea salt)
  • Water: Room temperature or cold
  • Steeping: 12-24 hours at room temperature
