Cold brewed coffee

[PeeJay]

Been chatting today with some of the guys about cold brewed coffee. What is it? Its ground coffee that's brewed in cold water for twelve hours or more to give a naturally sweeter and less bitter coffee which has not been oxidised. Cold brew coffee filter jugs are readily available but get one that makes a litre to save faffing around, its only ?16 on Amazon. Once made you can add the coffee concentrate to hot or cold water to drink. I like it iced, a touch of flavoured syrup, two thirds coffee to one third cold milk and ice cubes. My wife tends to drink here coffee black so today I made her a Nespresso Americano but put the cold coffee concentrate in instead of milk. That went down well. The concentrate should keep in the fridge for up to a week and the used coffee grounds are compostable. Give it a try.

I'm going to go the DIY option to start with. Make sure I like it before splashing the cash.
I already have plenty of coffee filter cones and a holder so will try it in smaller batches at first.

I love iced coffee so not a problem for me.

Nice one PeeJay pulled the trigger on the red!

I like theory behind it & the promise of bringing out the flavours of lighter roasts. Kenyan beans are my fave.

Recon I'll try it tonight in my French press, give it a try 1st, not ever been in to cold coffee before but then it's not usually 35 degrees outside!

My thoughts too: try a brew in the French press and go from there. I've read suggestions of approx 70g of coffee for around 1/2 a litre. Maybe that should be .5 of a litre.
