A canadian winter hack: when I drove home from work in the evening I would stop at McD for a mocha coffee and leave it overnight in my car. Voilà an iced coffee in the morning without having to rush!
The only thing you Need for cold brew is ground coffee,water, a container and a way to strain the grounds away. A French press just combines the last 2.
@@chrismills2063 why bother mansplaining the obvious? Lol. By your point it’s infinitely easier and more convenient to just spend $15 on the ikea French press and love your routine instead of fighting against it.
@@brad7073 I actually used his method and prefer it since I like to drink it over the week, and I can't find a gallon sized French press for the price you mentioned. 😂
We recently reconfigured our budget and I need cold brew to survive. Thanks to your video I’m now saving $$$ because I no longer have to buy those ridiculously expensive bottles at the grocery store. Ty!
I’m so glad that you brought to attention the fact there is no need to refrigerate cold brew it’s a huge mistake and makes the coffee taste worse because I don’t think enough of the oils can be broken down to balance the aromatics that get into the coffee leaving a lot of the flavor profile to be desired.
The short video turned out really well! You can see exactly how the preparation works, even if you have absolutely no idea how to do it. Really very well done!
I saw various shorts you made about a year ago. I love coffee, and always wondered how I could go about "my own method" I have GOT to thank you for opening my eyes. I've been experimenting with my coffee and how it's brewed. Homemade french press (I can't afford the real thing), cuban brew, double-filter, etc. By far, my favorite way, is Cowboy method. I pour grounds into cold water, put it on the stove at the lowest heat, wait for the grounds to sink, check the color opacity in the light, then pour it through a fine mesh sieve into my cup once it's dark enough for my taste. I look up Columbian brewing method, and you pop up with "how to make the best cold brew" 😂 I just HAD to say thank you ❤
The taste was a little odd for me at first but now much prefer it. I just used my wire strainer with a filter, pour the cold-brewed stuff through that into an old glass measuring pitcher. After doing that for a year, I stepped up to an inexpensive come dripper and am real happy with it. No electricity needed and I just make some more each time I pour the latest batch.
@lizh1988 It's not just an acquired tastes... It's one of those kinds that you have to find the silver lining to, before truly appreciating how bitter and weird it tastes.
Love cold brew, even made with inferior supermarket preground coffee. I have a large old PB jar that I put a few tablespoons in, then fill halfway with H²O, lid it and stick it in the pantry for 12-24 hours For a year or so I used a large glass measuring pitcher, a metal strainer and a paper filter to pour through. Then I saw a 20 or 24$ dripper with pitcher and figured it was worth it. I use it every day. Not sure I'm ready for a French press, but this was an enjoyable video!
Thank you for translating this into directions that people who are grinding fresh beans can follow without grinding a random amount and adding x number of a particular company’s scoops. Most directions seem to be based off of pre-ground coffee.
I swear, coffee culture is so interesting to me! I love seeing how everyone has a different way of preparing it or their own special order! I don’t drink coffee, but your videos make me want to try it!
I would suggest when you are done brewing, pour into a new bottle or canister, and take the container and put it in the refrigerator for another 12 hours. Then drink it. You will taste quite a significant difference in the flavor profile.
Hey! Would it be better to use room temp water and leave brew at room temp Or Using water from the fridge, making sure its temperature is the same as the fridge's temp, and putting it in fridge. Love your shorts! I look forward to them often !
I've just come across your Chanel and want to say you're amazing! So nice to watch and listen to you! Please, keep going and don't mind any hate, you're the best 💜
This Is A 1:15 Ratio, Which Is The Ready-To-Drink Option, Drinking It Black Should Not Be A Problem. A 1:5 Ratio Would Be A Concentrate, Which Is Too Strong To Drink On It’s Own, Usually Gets Mixed With Water To Dilute Or Milk For A Beverage. You Could Always Use Your Own Ratio To Make Cold Brew To Your Liking Though ☺️
Oh my god I make it like this but the extra tips are so helpful! And I love your attitude. Your positivity is infectious and you have a wonderful smile. So happy I came across this channel. 😇
Using a 500 ML bottle of water you can make coffee using that then pour it back into the clean water bottle when it's done brewing I like cream and sugar in mine so I add that to the bottle first then when adding coffee I stop before it's completely full to shake it up to dissolve the sugar and resume filling it. Use less water for less coffee left over in the press.
Thanks for the recipe! What kind of coffee beans do you recommend? And do you still recommend leaving it on the counter if its super hot where I live?🥵
I prefer brewing with hot water for 5 minutes and giving the hot coffee a cold ice bath for another 10. Then I use the resulting cold brew for my drinks. Does this method not give the same taste as intended from letting the coffee stay for 14 hours?
I live in a small town that constantly has boil orders, would you recommend leaving boiled water to cool before making? Or maybe bottled water? I'm new at making coffee
I have two questions. So whats the difference in taste vetween regural iced black coffee and cold brew ? And how they make cold brew in coffee shops if it takes 12h to make ?
If the coffee is brewed with cold water, do the oils on the coffee not separate and create that rainbow-colored film across the top of your cup? I ask, since everytime I brew coffee (with hot water), in only an hour the oils begin to separate, and the taste quality drops. I'm using a super dark roast as well, would a French press eliminate that issue?
Speaking of cold brew , I believe I heard afad had happened for a while but with nitrogen, anyways it would be cool to se somthing to that affect, by the way , today is the first day seeing you and already came across a few handful of videos , keep it up
Thank you very much for your amazing videos! I am not a good coffee drinker (I like mine with sugar and milk). I just wanted to say that I found the ratio you mentioned too weak (maybe it had to do with the type of coffee I bought, I am not sure). Next time I will double the quantity of coffee.
For those of you who get impatient, (like me), you actually need to let it sit for 12 hours if you're doing this method. If you don't give it enough time, it won't brew properly, and will come out tasting more like water than coffee. Trust me, I tried the same thing, but let it sit for half an hour. You know how when a coffee comes out looking like piss? That happens when it doesn't brew properly and doesn't extract enough flavors from the coffee. But if you're using hot water, a minimum of 10 minutes of sitting will result in a beautifully rich coffee.
During the brewing process you don’t want to introduce the coffee to any temperature changes before it will effect the extraction and overall coffee taste
