You don't need fancy equipment to make cold brew! Try this easy French press cold brew recipe to see what we mean. The built-in filter works perfectly and the coffee comes out smooth and bold.
Use your scale to weigh 100 g (approx. 3.5 ounces) of coffee. Grind the coffee very coarse, even coarser than you would for standard French press coffee.
Weigh 700 g (approx. 24 ounces) of water. Add the coffee to your French press. Then add the water to the coffee in the French press.
Stir until all of the grounds are wet. Leave on your counter at room temperature for at least 16 hours.
Press the plunger on the French press until you meet resistance from the grounds at the bottom. Don’t squeeze the grounds against the bottom. Then decant the coffee into a large container for serving and storage
Notes
This recipe makes concentrated cold brew, so we recommend adding some cold water when you're ready to drink it. Add a splash of water, taste the drink, and see what you think!
