Meet 321 Coffee barista, Aaron, as he walks through our method for the perfect cup of cold brew.

Steps and Preparation

Step 1

Weigh or measure the desired amount of coffee.

(If you don’t have a scale, 1 tablespoon of coffee beans or ground coffee is about 5 grams of coffee.)

Step 2

Grind the coffee to a coarse consistency and add the ground coffee to the container for brewing.

Step 3

Measure the desired amount of room temperature water and pour the water into the container over the ground coffee, evenly saturating the grounds.

Step 4

Stir with a spoon.

Let steep for 18-24 hours at room temperature.

Step 5

After steeping, line the mesh strainer with cheesecloth and strain the cold brew into a new container to remove the coffee grounds.

Step 6

Mix the filtered cold brew concentrate with an equal amount of water to make a classic cold brew. The concentrate can also be mixed with milk. 

For example, 6 oz concentrate mixed with 6 oz. water makes 12 oz. of cold brew

Step 7

All that’s left is to enjoy!
