Typically, 8 PM isn't the time I'd be making coffee, but since I'm making a batch of cold brew it works out very well. My usual method is to use 150 grams of coarsely ground coffee in a two liter jar and to fill it with tap water. That will be covered and remain on the counter overnight. I'll strain out the grounds in the morning and that will leave me with about 1 1/2 liters of concentrated cold brew that I dilute at a 1:1 ratio, giving me 3 liters of cold brew.
Admittedly, this is a little light and you may want to use more coffee (175 g) or dilute it a little less. For me, this works well chilled and poured over ice with a little heavy cream and maybe a splash of vanilla. For this batch I am thinking about skipping the water dilution and going 1:1 with milk and a little vanilla.
If you are strictly a hot coffee drinker, you can heat this up and you will find it to be less acidic than your normal cup of hot brewed coffee.
My normal morning is a scant liter of pour-over brewed hot coffee, but the iced cold brew is also pretty good. Currently, I am drinking a bulk Ethiopian coffee and I am thinking that I will also throw a cinnamon stick into the brewing process.
Oh yes, this is going to be good!
Tell me about your coffee.
