cold brew coffee

Let’s make cold brew coffee! It’s easy to make, and it’s so nice to have coffee ready to go. This recipe is written for a 1-quart wide-mouth mason jar; you can scale it up or down using 1 ounce* (28 grams) coffee per 1 cup water. The quantities provided will produce about 2 1/2 cups concentrate, which is enough for 5 cups of cold brew.

Cold Brew Coffee

(85 grams) coarsely-ground coffee (that’s beans

water (filtered water if you have it)

In a 1-quart wide-mouth mason jar, combine the coffee and water. Stir to combine. I like to let my mixture rest for about 5 minutes and stir it again; the coffee grounds seem to gain more water exposure this way.

Put a lid on your container and refrigerate it for 12 to 18 hours.

When you’re ready to strain your cold brew, place a thin paper coffee filter or a small, thin cotton napkin, cloth or handkerchief over a small fine-mesh sieve. Pour the concentrate through the prepared sieve into a liquid measuring cup or pitcher. Let it rest for a few minutes to let the last of the cold brew trickle down.

To serve, fill a glass with ice and fill it halfway with water. Then fill the rest of the glass with cold brew concentrate, and stir to combine. Cold brew concentrate will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, although I find that it has the best flavor within the first week.

This was a revelation for me. Perfect taste following the recipe- thank you! Enjoyed it so much more than the hot coffee I brew at home. I'm going to be keeping this in the fridge permanently.

Hi Kate, and a big hug for Cookie. As a one cup coffee drinker first thing in the morning, coffee was used purely for it restorative properties. Decided over christmas to make cold brew as a change, and wow what a change. Without doubt the nicest coffee i have ever tasted, and one cup is now not enough. From a small coffee cup i am now onto a mason jar with a handle, and could easily drink more. Its delicious and im hooked. Merry christmas and happy new year Kate.

Oh my goodness, it is summer where I am and finding a cooler solution for the much needed caffeine kick is so perfect! Thank you so much!! Also following your recipe was really easy to do and we love the end result. Delicious cold brew coffee in the comfort of our home

Great article, lot's of good tips. I love the 1oz coffee for 1cup water suggestion for a 2x coffee concentrate. I noticed that you say the whole beans turn into a larger volume of ground and I think you have it backwards:
"1/4 cup whole coffee beans, which yields roughly 1/2 cup ground coffee" this should be 1/2 C whole beans yeilds 1/4 cup ground, right?

Cheers!

Hi
Tonight I made the cold brew coffee and green tea and I cannot wait to try both tomorrow. Thank you for these great recipes!

How much caffeine would you say is in here?

Thanks!

Love this Recipe. Used a very strong dark roast, and steeped for 36 hours. I got the perfect amount of bitter as well as the more subtle flavors that I don't always notice when I drink it hot.

I used finely ground coffee because I didn't have coarse coffee grounds. I did use a French press. I did three ounces of coffee to 3 cups of water. It steeped for 18 hours. It rendered 500 ml. I added 500 ml of water and diluted it. It came out great!!! Thank you for the recipe.

Here at home (Zapopan, Jalisco) we do kombucha y keifer, and use the clean, old transparent curtains cut into squares for the filters over a strainer.  The work well, clean up easily with some stain, but do not absorb the color heavily and dry fast.

I made this last night, together with the chia seed pudding and it made my morning (taste) GREAT! Thank you so much for creating these incredible recipes with such love. I'm going to try more recipes now that I have so much spare time! From Marie (locked-down Lisbon, Portugal).

i came across this recipe also looking to add coffee to my morning mush!!

Hey Kate, I am loving the recipe and the ratio you have chosen! I just had a question about how much caffeine you estimate would be in a serving of cold brew (1 cup water and 28g coffee) with the rest being diluted by equal parts water. I like the peace of mind knowing how much caffeine I’m getting so I don’t go overboard.

We are staying home in NJ. With a lot of time on our hands and no trips to Starbucks, I attempted cold brew for the first time. Fortunately, my local grocery still had coffee beans and a grinder available to me! I followed the recipe exactly.  The coffee measure is not 6 ounces in a measuring cup.  Just as the directions say, it's a 6 oz weight using a kitchen scale, which indeed comes to just about 1.5 cups of measured coffee.  I weight out my grounds to 6 oz. and that's about how much there was (give or take a little).  The resulting cold brew received approval from my daughters. I actually got the question "Is there more coffee to make it again?" Doesn't get better than that.  Thanks for the recipe!

This is awesome!! I am fortunate to have an awesome local roaster shipping coffee to my door and I was getting tired of my hot cup so I decided to take the cold plunge.

Your ratio is perfect. I added this to my morning protein smoothie and was surprised at the clarity and energy I had when these things are combined.

Normally I am running for the smoothie after my coffee drains me but the cold brew, fruit, nut butter, and protein powder work so well together... 

THANK YOU!

I love this article and the way it is written! I work at Starbucks and this helped me with ratios since we just use a pre-measured bag for our large batch. I also appreciate the metric units. Definitely trying this today!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for this recipe, it’s perfect! I had almost given up on making cold brew at home!!

Hi thanks for the amazing recipe
I have a question
Can i add some fruit like strawberry into the jar for flavor?❤️❤️

I loved this although i made it with espresso beans. Sooo yummy. Just have to be careful not to drink to much.

I just made a batch, I can't wait for it to be ready! Have yet to find one of your recipes that I don't love! Thank you!

Cold Brew Coffee Recipe

an easy &amp; natural recipe for homemade starbucks salted cream cold foam cold brew with only 4 ingredients! cold brew coffee, lightly sweetened with maple syrup, topped with a creamy salty-sweet cold foam, this salted cream cold foam cold brew coffee is the perfect salty-sweet coffee drink! 

salted cream cold foam cold brew coffee

coffee (see Recipe Notes)

skim milk (see Recipe Notes)

Kosher salt (see Recipe Notes)

Make the salted cream cold foam: Add the skim milk, Kosher salt, and ½ tablespoon of the maple syrup to a milk frother. Using the frother’s cold froth setting, froth the salted cream until thick and creamy. I do 2 cycles of cold frothing using my Nespresso frother, about 2 minutes. If you do not have a frother, you can also add everything into a jar and shake it until it gets whipped &amp; frothy.

Make the salted cream cold foam cold brew coffee

Add the cold brew to a glass, over ice. Stir in the remaining ½ tablespoon maple syrup. If you like a sweeter cold brew coffee, go ahead and add in a little extra maple syrup. If you like unsweetened cold brew coffee, feel free to leave it out. Pour or spoon the salted cream cold foam over top. Enjoy!

you just saved me so much money, this is DELICIOUS I'm completely hooked

This is the first recipe from Jess that I ever found and what brought me into the PWWB world, and I'm so glad! The perfect touch of saltiness and sweetness without going overboard, and good points/research on type of milk - I usually use half and half but her note about skim milk frothing better was key!

I've been craving this Starbucks order for three weeks now (due to shelter-in-place)!! This is THE recipe. Others I've tried call for caramel syrup in the foam and it doesn't give it the same flavor. All I have is half and half and 2% milk, so I'm excited to see how frothy it can be when I try with skim. Perfect balance of sweet and salty. I love having this recipe now, because certain days I like it sweeter than others :)

Too many ads.  Can’t follow the recipe steps.  You’ve gone overboard with advertisements to the point of interfering with a smooth user experience.

Made this and taste exactly the same as starbucks!! I love it!!

It's incredibly easy to make cold brew coffee at home and much cheaper than buying it in the store. This cold brew coffee recipe is a pretty straightforward DIY cold brew method with a ratio of 4:1 - four cups of water to one cup of coffee beans. For more cold brew concentrate, simply double this amount and use a larger storage container. As always, I have more tips located in the recipe post linked below. Enjoy!

Easy Cold Brew Coffee

Large glass pitcher bowl

mesh filter ((I use the filter that came with my Takeya cold brew pitcher))

Grind whole coffee beans, OR use any previously ground coffee you have on hand

Place 1 cup coffee grounds in a covered bowl or pitcher. Cover with 6 cups cold water.

Stir up the grounds so they are all wet and mixed fairly well.

Let coffee grounds and water sit in the fridge for at least 8 hours (I usually let it sit for 12 hours).&nbsp;

Pour the coffee and grounds through a fine-mesh nut-milk bag or layered cheesecloth to separate the coffee from the grounds.&nbsp;

This coffee is concentrated a bit, so it's usually double strength. I prepare my cold brewed coffee this way: 1/2 cup coffee concentrate + 1/2 cup unsweetened almondmilk + Stevia drops

To serve: mix with as much unsweetened non-dairy milk or creamer as you like. Since this is concentrated, I usually use equal parts cold brew coffee concentrate and almondmilk

Enjoy!

How to brew a cold brew concentrate using the Toddy Cold Brew Coffee Maker. This method allows you to dilute the brewed coffee with water, milk and a whole host of other ingredients.

Coffee

Litres Water

Wet the filter and insert it into the groove inside the brewer. Don&#x27;t forget to insert the plug in the bottom.

(Optional, but recommended) Add the paper filter bag to the brewer. The brewer will work without this, but it helps to extract more from the coffee, and makes clean up a whole lot easier.

Grind the coffee coarse (between filter &amp; french press / plunger) and add to the brewer

Pour filtered water over the grounds, try to wet them as evenly as possible. If you&#x27;re using the paper filter bag stir the coffee to make sure the grounds are completely wet. If you&#x27;re not using the bag, don&#x27;t stir the coffee as the fine grinds can block the smaller filter -  just pat any dry grounds you can see with the back of a spoon.
