French Press Cold Brew

Combine Coffee and Water: Gently pour the coarsely ground coffee into the carafe of your French press. Add the room temperature filtered water. (2 minutes)

Initial Press: Place the French press lid on top and gently press the plunger down just enough to saturate all the coffee grounds. Avoid pressing it all the way down. (1 minute)

Steep: Allow the coffee to steep at room temperature for 16 to 18 hours. This extended steeping time is crucial for extracting the full, smooth flavor of the cold brew. (16-18 hours)

Strain and Filter: After steeping, slowly press the plunger all the way down. Then, strain the cold brew through a coffee filter placed in a fine-mesh sieve or strainer to remove any remaining sediment. This step ensures a clean, grit-free final product. (5 minutes)

Store: Transfer the strained cold brew to an airtight bottle or jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. (2 minutes)
