- You'll want a light roast ~pours darkest roast pitch black as night sky pre-ground coffee

[@bansshan7306]

Hahaha. Though I was looking into another video where it said the opposite, I mean to use a dark roast. So maybe it was a slip of tongue. Or just the camera adjustments.

[@KahveSakal]

LOL. Same here!

[@TheUgliestKitchen]

The coffeeshop I work at uses a medium roast for our standard cold brew. Occasionally we'll sample a light roast pour over light roast, but for our day to day we use a medium roast.

[@CherryGryffon]

He didn't mean to say dark roast. Dark roasts are typically used in hot brew coffee, because hot brew coffee is typically combined with sweeteners and creamers [because it's hot and those are more soluble in hot liquids]. For a cold brew, you're treating the coffee differently, and so it's best to use a different kind of coffee. Since a cold brew does NOT typically get treated with sweetener, you want to avoid treating it the same as a hot brew. Step one in that is choosing a lighter roast [Note: ALL coffee is roasted. Much like burning food, the longer you do it the darker it gets, and the more BITTER it gets], so that it's already somewhat sweeter than it would normally be.

I am a barista at a chain known for cold brew- and its way easier than this. 1. get coarse-ground coffee. whatever roast/flavor you want. 2. put 1 cup grounds to 8 cups water in a container. (this is adjustable depending on how strong you like it) 3. let sit overnight 4. strain with a sieve or paper filter-whatever works for you . 5. enjoy :)

[@garnettbrown]

Exactly

[@veselak1282]

Do you keep it in the fridge while brewing? Some say not to 🤔

[@garnettbrown]

@@veselak1282 It depends on my work schedule. For example, If I'm working 9am to 5pm Ill prep and sit it out at room temp overnight before going to bed, then when I wake up put it in the refrigerator until I arrive home for almost a total from 16 to 20 hours(Aproxamatley 8 hrs overnight and 8 to 10 hours in the refrigerator)

[@garnettbrown]

@@veselak1282 It doesn't matter which method you use just as long you don't leave the container out too long( 24hrs max) I prefer the refrigerator method because the brewing is slower than room temperature. Alwqys make sure during the brewing process you check to make sure ALL of the coffee grounds are saturated and not dry

“You’ll want a light roast because if it’s too dark it tends to be bitter. This is why I am using a Romanian roast from the region of Transylvania. It’s called Inside Of Dracula’s ‘coffeen’. It’s a really delicate, earthly blend with a really nice mineral, almost iron-like flavor on the back of your palette. Now we just need to use a gallon of ground coffee to yield a thimble of cold brew. But oh so worth it”.

I've been making my coffee this way for a long time now however I just use about 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds with about 2 1/2 cups water and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 14 hours then drain over ice and sweeten with A bit of condensed milk. the acidity in you coffee really depends on the coffee grounds that you buy sometimes it will still come out they acidic and bitter with the best coffees .

Make sure not to press the coffee grounds while siving it, it makes such a huge difference.

7:1 Ratio is a good start. 12 oz of coffee - 84 oz of water for example. You can experiment and try different ratios though, but I highly recommend buying whole bean, freshly roasted, and grinding them your self. Not commenting being negative, I just like to put the info out there. Keep it up. i love cold brew!

Azlan Chan What kind of coffee did u use? Dark, Medium, or Light Roast?

[@angelaspangler497]

I've been making cold brew for several months. The one thing that's different is the two step water absorption he does. The beans absorb a lot of the water. My cold brew comes out smooth like caramel or a coffee ice cream flavor without adding sugar or cream. We drink our coffee black, so we add a lot more water to our concentration...we add 6-9 cups of water to our 3 cups of concentrate and it's perfect for a cup of black coffee.

[@nona23456]

[@JamesVignaleII]

Thanks for making my mouth water. Thomas -- yours looks so good!

[@krbuck]

I use a full pound of course, light roast coffee (Sumatra is my favorite) and steep it in a full stock pot in the fridge. The amount of water you use can be adjusted to your taste.12-24 hours is about right. I then use a round fryer basket I found at a restaurant supply store and line it with an old cotton pillow case as a filter and dump the grounds and coffee through a strainer similar to the one in this video into the pillowcase filter and have it filter into a large container. This allows me to capture the grounds in the strainer and the sediment with the filter and do the filtering all in one step. I then pour the resulting coffee into a dispenser that fits right into my fridge. It sounds long and involved, but its really not hard at all and cleanup is easy. Let me know if you are interested in some pics. I'm happy to share.

[@patricefung1292]

I'm 6 years late... but this sounds interesting!! If you still do this, I'd love to check it out!

I like cold brew - 'dutch' - very much. Glad that I can make it by myself all summer long. Thanks !

[@joshmorton5676]

I used a 12oz bag of whole beans that cost $6.50. I used a course grind and I used the entire bag and 7.5 cups of water. Let it steep in the fridge for 18hrs. Strained it twice and I have enough coffee for at least 10 large ice coffees which would be around $0.65 each. I would pay almost $4 for the same thing at Starbucks.

[@susancarr9955]

That's an expensive cup of coffee. Six cups from a pound of coffee???

[@helpfulnatural]

Susan Carr There is a recipe on the youtube channel: whole latte love that makes a smaller batch using just 3/4 cup of coffee. It's delicious! Cold brew is great because it's so smooth with no bitterness. It's also good for people that have issues with acid. Brewing coffee in cold water reduces the acid quite a bit. I brew this a few times during the summer.

[@susancarr9955]

helpfulnatural Thanks for the tip. I'll go watch it, but my neighborhood coffee shop has a huge cold brew set up and makes wonderful coffee.

[@SoapsAreStupid]

Susan Carr its a concentrate, which means a you add a ice and cold water to a cup of the concentrate to make multiple cups

[@xbeaker]

Lawrence Cheung Susan is correct. It makes 3 cups of concentrate, which you dilute 1:1 which nets you 6 cups in the end. If yuo have the time, it is still a bit cheaper than buying at your local coffee shop though. And of course, you can reuse the grounds as compost or probably re-steep them in a french press for a traditional cup.

[@rahrahritaa]

Lawrence Cheung The concentrate was 3 cups so it's 6 cups diluted. It is pretty expensive compared to traditional brewing, but in my opinion the flavor is worth it.

[@tibermae]

These segments are so helpful!

[@JessD-je2bw]

This was very well explained! Thank you!

[@drewster100]

I use dark roast for my cold brew and there is nothing bitter about it. I believe the more important part is buying quality beans.

[@mandime4798]

This is very concentrated. I split it with water or milk in equal parts for a strong cup. A "cup" of coffee is 6 oz. My calculations, though, are done is standard 8 oz cups. 1 lb coffee gives you 4-6 cups cold brew concentrate, or 8-12 cups strong coffee, 12-18 cups medium brew, 16-24 cups weak coffee. When you brew coffee in a coffee pot, you should use 2 Tbsp per 6 oz cup of coffee. This gives you a medium strength brew, a strong brew is more like 3 Tbsp per 6 oz cup. One lb of coffee is ~4 1/2 cups, or 72 Tbsp. That's 36 "cups" medium strength brew, or 27 standard cups of coffee. 12-18 cups vs 27 cups of similar strength coffee, that's your essential numbers. Do you get less yield with cold brew? Absolutely. For those of us making a latte at home, or who don't like bitter, somewhat acidic coffee though, it's worth it. plus you make it once and it keeps for 1-2 weeks, ready for your iced coffees.

[@demos113]

[@NIFTYDRIFTYPROD]

Yup. Dark roast is lower in acid. I like a light roast so I just use dark roast but I let it sit for less time. I use less coffee grounds this way too so it's not so strong.

I was thinking the same thing

[@iLoveTurtlesHaha]

He is so fake, I couldn't even stand to listen to him and yes you are correct. The light roast as well as the medium roast, like the ethopian he used, has a higher acidity than the dark roast.

[@sarabethsteckerl7518]

Is that a pound of coffee grounds? It only makes 6 cups?! This does not seem particularly efficient... Lol, it better taste like ambrosia.

[@amandacowan5269]

It's very highly concentrated. It's only as expensive as the coffee you get for it. I use a costco variety which costs about $5-6 per pound. If you buy 1 lb of coffee separately at the store, it's more like $8-9lb. But you're getting roughly 3 cups of extremely concentrated coffee. Then it's already ready each morning. Many people want to end up with cold coffee. So the process of making coffee everyone morning just to ice it down is extremely wasteful, as you not only have to waste the time but also the energy to heat the water and make the coffee. This costs me roughly .37 cents per serving and I'm not wasting any electricity to make it each morning. It's also already cold, so I don't end up with watered down coffee from adding the ice. Obviously this method isn't for everyone, but it's extremely convenient for those who like to end up with iced coffee.

[@eddiexiang3606]

How long can I keep those concentrated coffee? 2 weeks? Everyday I just pour some into my cup and mix with water and ice?

[@TrevorPhillips2024]

Sarabeth Steckerl 4:25

[@noviceprepper53]

his idea is great, as usual. what I've done in the past is make myself a pot of coffee, drink a couple of cups. instead of throwing the grinds out, put them in a plastic freezer bag, add several cups of water, maybe 4, and let it steep in the fridge for a few days. Take out, strain the grounds, and there you go, cold brew coffee. I'm a prepper so I like to recycle and I was figuring how I could get more bang for my buck out of coffee grinds. I've also frozen the cold brewed coffee to make ice coffee. I even disliked tossing the spent grounds but after I read comments below, I've learned that I can use them as a body scrub when combined with olive oil (I'd probably prefer coconut oil, but I'll see). Hope this is helpful

[@melodyseverything6999]

lohphat even your own citizens doubt that and all of US scientists use metric system since the end of ww2 as far as I know.

Lazyness doesn't enter into it. Costs are a real factor. Considering this government can't fix healthcare or other basic infrastructure, converting to metric (and all the costs over 50 states) is not a simple undertaking.

That seems like a serious waste of coffee grounds. Other cold brew recipes uses a ratio of about 1/2 grounds to 3 cups of water. But they also recommend med to dark roast coffee. I've tried a med roast without bitterness (which I'm, unfortunately, very sensitive to).

[@chiaraippoliti]

Yeah I use dark, intense roast from Seattle's Best Coffee beans, and it isn't bitter to me. I also use a 1:4 ratio with freshly ground coffee to cold water.

[@helpfulnatural]

Memoria James I agree. I use Peet's Major Dickason's Blend which is a dark roast. No bitterness at all. Brewing coffee cold eliminates bitterness altogether so I'm not sure why he states that darker roasts will be bitter. It's just not true. If you let it steep longer than 24 hours it will be over-extracted.

[@hunterbowman5150]

@@helpfulnatural technically he's not wrong. Subjectivity is being mixed with objectivity here. Using a darker roast will technically yield a coffee that is more "bitter" as compared to a coffee made with a lighter roast BUT it is personal opinion on how dark a roast goes before a person calls it bitter.

[@hunterbowman5150]

@@helpfulnatural personally I find that if I am going to drink it plain I would prefer a lighter roast but if I want a drink with cream and sugar it calls for a darker roast

[@helpfulnatural]

@@hunterbowman5150 I used to roast my own beans and the darker the roast, the more sugars are released from the beans, hence making a sweeter flavor. Of course taste is subjective as everyone has a completely different pallet but to say that dark roast is bitter is incorrect. If the beans are over roasted then they will taste burnt or ashy. And the lighter the roast level, the more acidic the flavor profile. I've also made cold brew dozens of times using dark roasted beans and the flavor is smooth and chocolatey, NEVER bitter.

[@yocampout]

girl, ain't nobody got time for that. I need my coffee in the morning asap! just kidding. it's probably delicious

[@chiaraippoliti]

yocampout If you want a quicker version. You can make a regular pot of coffee at night and stir in sugar. Transfer the sweetened coffee to a container with a lid and refrigerate it overnight. The next day, your cold, sweetened coffee is ready. I make coffee smoothies with almond milk, sweetener or half a frozen banana, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a bit of cinnamon. However, that takes more time, and it appears you want something quick haha. So just pour the cold coffee in a portable container and go! :)

[@yocampout]

Memoria James cool. I can try that on the weekends. that coffee smoothie sounds tasty. thanks

[@chiaraippoliti]

yocampout Yeah, the smoothie takes more time, but putting coffee in the fridge takes very little time (the first suggestion I made). You wouldn't have to make any coffee in the morning that way :). Take care!

[@ThriftyWitch]

yocampout it is really good I used the Starbucks komodo dragon and made a strong brew its amazing when you add sweetened condensed milk it taste just like Starbucks bottled coffee. I boil mason jars and lids and jar them the heat of the glass cools and you have cold coffee when you want it

[@M4SS4PPEAL]

He used an unnecessary amount of coffee grounds. I just put in the same amount that I'd put into a coffee maker and it's always worked for me. But I don't do the dilution thing.

[@jonathanhogue2340]

So for a pound of coffee and nine cups of water, you get three cups of coffee? Maybe my math is off but that does not seem economical.

[@amandacowan5269]

It's extremely concentrated. You either keep it concentrated to make your coffee drinks with milk, ice, etc. or you dilute it with water. What you get is just about the same concentration as espresso ( I would guess anyway). When I make this, I use about 1/4 cup and it makes an entire iced coffee drink. It's as economical as you like based on what kind of coffee you use. For example, if I use a pound of coffee from say, Costco (even an organic fair trade brand), it would cost me about $6 to make that 3 cups of super concentrated coffee (using 1 lb of coffee). That gets me about 16-20 coffee drinks. If you were to even do the math conservatively, you're looking at about .37 per serving. The average k-cup costs between .25-66 cents plus then you have the trash of the cup itself. And the electricity to run the machine each time. If you're comparing to buying coffee out, then you're saving tons of money because even your average shot of espresso or plain black coffee is roughly $2 for a small at a coffee house. So you're not just getting 3 cups of coffee.

[@turk639]

This is like 4 parts of water to 1 part of coffee, while espresso is 2 parts of water to 1 part of coffee. in the end after deluding the cold brew you get 8 parts of water to 1 part of coffee, so it's not too bad.

John Hopkin - He diluted it in that container - the three cups of concentrate plus 3 cups of water. Then poured that into the glass with the ice.

I came for the coffee and I'm staying for all the rest of the lessons You are awesome

[@philjones8008]

This is just what I was looking for

[@StarBucks718]

I have a question from a health point of view. I would like to start drinking straight black coffee. Would cold brew coffee be ok to start with? Would it be more beneficial in a health point of view to drink the concentrated form without diluting the finished product with water?

[@silentvamp]

StarBucks718 some say cold brew is easier on the tummy because it is less acidic, but that it seems to pack more of a caffiene punch. I think I agree with that just from what I have experienced. Also, i do not know if it is tasty or not, but i saw a dairy free coconut creamer at my local kroger recently. Dont know if the sugars are natural or not, but this leads me to think that there may be healthy options that mean you don't have to drink it black. :) just a thought

[@katnisseverdeen12341]

It's easier to drink as it is less acidic and it won't bite your throat or stomach like coffee usually does. As always it's calorie free but be aware of the caffine content, it's a lot

[@wreckzc]

From a health point of view, drink Green Tea. it's less acidic and harsh on your stomach lining without sacrificing caffeine. it's also slow releasing, so you will be more alert longer, but wont have that jolt in the morning.

[@turk639]

the paper filter will capture the cafestol (it's the only "bad" part of coffee.) but as long as you keep your diet in check coffee and thee are one of the most healthy drinks beside water

[@turk639]

coffee is not as addicting as alcohol is because you are not drawn to it like other drugs. And in recent studies coffee was found to be actually good for you in moderation (while 6 cups a day is still fine to drink)*. But as with a lot of things, moderation is key. Now on the subject of the addiction, while being addicted to alcohol will take you a pretty big chunk of your time to recover from caffeine addiction can be beat in 2 weeks it is because your body does not depend on it like it depends on alcohol when you are addicted.!

My easy DIY cold brew: 1-make regular hot coffee 2-pour into my cup 3-chase my toddler around while trying to do chores and not let our place burn down 4- sip cold coffee a few hours after pouring into my cup 😂 #momlife #aintgotnotimefor100stepcoldbrewcoffee

[@frenchtoast6393]

Lol story of my life !! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@catoritala]

that would be cold coffee, not a cold brew.

[@DGerharts]

48 hrs and 20 dishes to wash, for a cup of coffee. Yea that sounds like a great idea.

[@amandacowan5269]

For me, it's not that many dishes. Pretty sure he did that just for the ease of the video. I make coffee once, and then I have it ready, lasts me two weeks. Roughly 1/4 cup of that solution and it makes an entire iced coffee. It is just as economical as any other method of making coffee but you aren't wasting electricity to run the machine/heat the water every morning. And it ends up cold, which for me at least, is my preference. Completely eliminates the step of heating anything up. Very odd that so many people are missing this important point. Not everyone wants their coffee hot.

[@mariai9549]

Keurig has a machine just for you polluter.

[@Katy-ye1zr]

@@amandacowan5269 Not all year round, for sure. And of course there are those drinks many of us like- both hot and cold, that are made with coffee, such as added cocao or liquers. Room for variety with cold brew (but especially CONCENTRATE - is very useful in baking and making desserts such as mousse- ever tried Coffee jello? DELISH)

[@jtcannon2293]

I really like the use of a mason jar. I am definitely gonna post a video about the results! How much coffee grounds do you recommend. Is their a certain ratio that you should use?

[@benjamindemontgomery6317]

Coffee was introduced to Japan by the Dutch in the 17th century, but remained a curiosity until the lifting of trade restrictions in 1858. The first European-style coffeehouse opened in Tokyo in 1888, and closed four years later.

[@melodyseverything6999]

Yeah, they are more into green tea, another great beverage!

[@JonahHall]

im pretty sure he said "cold-brew" at least 87 times during this video lol

[@marinakamburova9542]

woow you either actually kept count or you're hoping that somebody will read the comment and decide to check for themselves :D haha

[@jidoc4877]

and he said the word "coffee" 123135 times

[@mikecantreed]

Jonah Hall He said "cold brew coffee" that many times. Kept forgetting what the video was about so it was helpful for me.

[@mrtodd3620]

Please bring back Hannibal.

[@ChillFrost]

love it.

[@mukkaar]

Most important advice for anything coffee, use freshly ground beans. And yeah, for cold brew light roast really shines, medium is good too though. I usually do mine with 1/8 ratio of coffee for 15-18h and won't dilute it. Then I drink it either as it is or with some nondairy coffee milk.

How to turn a pound of coffee into a cup of coffee tutorial

[@jordanbaldwin1477]

It looks like cold brew uses a lot more coffee grounds to yield the same volume of coffee as a traditional method. Is this true? If so would it still be more cost effective to stick with the traditional methods?

[@robhimself79]

Jordan Baldwin cold brew is typically a concentrated coffee. if you drink it hot you add hot water.

[@katnisseverdeen12341]

+robhimself79 don't add hot water lol you just end up bringing out the bitterness and acidity that you avoided with the cold brew

[@robhimself79]

Rachel McNeil i meant after you brew and you have your coffee concentrate. you add hot water to the concentrate for a hot coffee without the bitterness.

[@amandacowan5269]

It's only as expensive as the coffee you get for it. I use a costco variety which costs about $5-6 per pound. If you buy 1 lb of coffee separately at the store, it's more like $8-9lb. But you're getting roughly 3 cups of extremely concentrated coffee. Then it's already ready each morning. Many people want to end up with cold coffee. So the process of making coffee everyone morning just to ice it down is extremely wasteful, as you not only have to waste the time but also the energy to heat the water and make the coffee. This costs me roughly .37 cents per serving and I'm not wasting any electricity to make it each morning. It's also already cold, so I don't end up with watered down coffee from adding the ice. Obviously this method isn't for everyone, but it's extremely convenient for those who like to end up with iced coffee.

[@NomadLIFEreviews]

Great video

[@ironlung8780]

Thanks!

[@riddhisompura4679]

Now what do you do to those used coffee grounds? This coffee is literally expensive!

[@changer1285]

+Riddhi Sompura Cold brewed coffee seems more efficient than using heat to me. Considering the solution needs to be watered down before consumption because it's too concentrated, I'd say you just do whatever you'd do with coffee that has been brewed via heat and you're already being less wasteful.
