What Is Cold Brew Coffee?

Cold brew is coffee steeped in cold or room-temp water for 12-24 hours. It is not iced coffee. No heat means less bite and a smoother, sweeter cup.

Cold brew vs iced coffee

Iced coffee is hot brew over ice. Fast, but more acid and melt-water. Cold brew starts cold, so it stays mellow over ice.

How to make it

Grind extra coarse. Use 1:8 for ready-to-drink or 1:4 for concentrate. Steep 12-16 hours at room temp or 18-24 in the fridge. Strain. Dilute concentrate 1:1. Fridge up to two weeks.
