Follow The Directions

01

Step

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)

02

Step

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)

03

Step

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)

04

Step

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)

05

Step

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

For a richer flavor, use a dark roast coffee bean.
Experiment with different steep times to find your preferred strength.
Serve over ice, with a splash of your favorite milk (almond, oat, or soy all work wonderfully), or even try it with a citrus twist for a refreshing variation.

  • Garfield Rippin

    This recipe is so easy and the cold brew is so much better than store-bought!

  • Salvatore Funk

    The steeping time is key! I accidentally steeped mine for 20 hours and it was still amazing, but a bit stronger.

  • Jessy Wisoky

    I was intimidated to try cold brew at home, but this recipe made it foolproof.
