Cold Brew – How to Make the Perfect Cold Coffee at Home or On the Go

What is Cold Brew Coffee?

Cold Brew Coffee is a method of brewing coffee by steeping coarsely ground beans in cold water for 8-24 hours. This slow extraction results in a smooth, naturally sweet, and less acidic coffee. Perfect for hot days, Cold Brew pairs well with ice, milk, or syrups for a refreshing drink.

What Equipment Do You Need for Cold Brew?

To make the perfect Cold Brew, consider using specialized devices such as:

• Timemore Icicle Cold Brewer Black – a compact and stylish borosilicate glass device that makes brewing Cold Brew easy and hassle-free. Its ergonomic design makes it perfect for travel and an active lifestyle.
• Timemore Ice Drip Coffee Maker – an excellent choice for fans of slow drip brewing, enhancing the depth and aroma of your coffee.

Both options allow you to achieve professional-quality results at home, in the office, or even while traveling.

How to Make Cold Brew: Step-by-Step Recipe

Step 1: Choose the Right Coffee

For Cold Brew, choose 100% Arabica with a medium or light roast. Coffees with fruity and chocolatey notes, such as Ethiopia Yirgacheffe or Colombia Huila, work best.

Step 2: Grind the Coffee

Use a coarse grind, similar to sea salt. This ensures proper extraction and prevents bitterness.

Step 3: Add Water

Recommended coffee-to-water ratios:

• 1:10 for a strong Cold Brew (e.g., 50g of coffee per 500ml of water).
• 1:15 for a lighter brew.

Use filtered or spring water at room temperature.

Step 4: Steep the Coffee

• For Timemore Icicle Cold Brewer:

1. Add ground coffee to the filter.
2. Pour in cold water up to the marked level.
3. Seal and refrigerate for 12-16 hours.

• For Timemore Ice Drip Coffee Maker:

1. Place the filter and add ground coffee.
2. Add ice and cold water to the top section.
3. Adjust the drip rate and steep for 3-4 hours.

Step 5: Filter and Serve

After steeping, strain the coffee through a paper or metal filter. Serve Cold Brew over ice, or dilute it with water or milk to taste.
