The Easiest Cold Brew Ever: 2 Ways

Hi guys, barista here. I love Josh's recipes and try them every time I have the chance but I saw so many wrong things in this video (or let's just say it could be better) that I wanted to give you some tips on cold brew. 1) Try to use a light roasted (almost cinnamon and orange color) coffee beans for better taste. If the beans are dark, as Joshua used in this video, you're gonna get more bitterness and less of the natural coffee taste. Light roasts taste a lot better and more flavourful. 2) Freshly roasted coffee (3-5 days after the roast) should be your top choice. Coffee goes bad one month after the roast. 3) I cannot stress this enough: NEVER EVER use hot water if you're going to put it in the fridge. It's no different than brewing coffee hot and serving with ice. Same taste and everything. The idea of cold brew is to BREW IT COLD. 4) If you're going to strain it through your Chemex or V60, wet the paper filter with hot water, discard the water that drips into your container and wait until both the Chemex (or V60) and container gets to the room temperature. 5) Last but not least would be to serve or drink it with a lot of ice. If you're not going to use ice, try to use cold water instead. Cold brew is almost 2x stronger than hot brewed coffee so you have to dilute it with water. Try these and you'll see that it tastes at least 10x better. Let me know if you have any information that you want to share :)

BARISTA HERE: don’t forget to dilute the cold brew with water!! Cold brew is extremely strong and can hold a LOT of caffeine, sometimes an unhealthy amount if it’s served undiluted. Usually you can dilute it with cold water (after it’s brewed) to a 1:1 ratio. You can adjust it to your liking!

[@robinpickard7419]

Yes but this particular recipe is 1:17.5 strength, others I've seen are much more concentrated... Would you recommend making a concentrate and then diluting or making a weaker cold brew that does not need dilution (i.e. this recipe here)?

[@d0nj03]

@@brandonnvlogs5276 Actually, one of the possible intentions in making cold brew is to unveil the sweeter notes in the natural pre-sugar taste of the coffee you're using, and you do that by minimizing the oil extraction, i.e. by brewing in the fridge and accepting the longer time it takes. Also less oil means it will keep for longer without the taste spoiling from the oils going rancid, also the oils are probably responsible for the uptick in cholesterol numbers some people get after coffee, so fridge-brew is likely more cholesterol-neutral.

[@7wt]

I've stumbled on this exact method after a year or so with a dedicated cold brew maker. The filter in the maker started to oxidize leaving a metallic taste to my coffee. After searching around, I decided to get a V60 to filter out the Mason immersion method. The resulting coffee is easily better than anything I can buy commercially. I like the grinds a little finer than suggested in this video however. I find the finer grinds make a slightly stronger and more consistent yield.

[@SarahSmith-eh1iu]

I made this the other day and it was to die for!! I scaled your water by half, did 50g of store ground coffee, let it soak for 15 hours and then added Mexican vanilla and about a tea spoon and a half of sugar over ice. Thank you for an awesome recipe!

[@Sharkeybtm]

For the pour over method, use a metal mesh filter to strain out the larger grinds before pouring over the paper filter. This keeps the paper drilled from clogging up and allows a much quicker straining.

[@duanereed4106]

I make my cold brew basically the same way, but with a couple of differences. I use quart mason jars because that is nearly the same size as my French press, which I pour my cold brew into and plunge the grounds out much easier and neater than your demonstrated methods. You’re awesome.

For filtering, I'd suggest a fine mesh or cheese cloth, then your pour-over filter. The two pass approach means less clogging of the paper filter which makes it faster/uses less filters

[@d0nj03]

Fine mesh polypropylene conical filter is the best I've found so far. Only needs one pass, it's fast and it's easy to clean for reuse. Nothing single-use to throw out like the paper ones, plus I never liked how paper filters "deaden" coffee somehow - I think they don't let any oil whatsoever pass through and that might be why.

[@camillagilmore1547]

If you go to your local Chinese market, they usually have tea bags for preparing herbal tea. I double bag a scoop of my coffee in two of these tea bags and dont need to filter at all as a result... I also find that if you put the bags in a jar of 2/3 room temp/cold water and then top up with reasonably hot water the bags float and get directly hit by the hot water, so the hot water gives that brief hot brew to the coffee before cooling down quite rapidly which gives a deeper flavour without risking too much bitterness. I also recommend eating a bit of good feta cheese before drinking your cold brew to bring out all the richer flavours.

Hey, just another way to strain the coffee. If you have a french press (bodum) you can put the coffee into the press and use the press' strainer to filter it.

[@goreyfantod5213]

One shorthand tip from an old restaurant cook who's made a LOT of gallons of coffee over the years: The ratio for classic cold brew coffee is 4:1 water to coarse ground coffee. So, with one cup of ground coffee you'd add 4 cups of water, for 1 tablespoon of grounds you'd add 1/4 cup of water, etc. 4 C. ground coffee + 16 C. water will yield roughly a gallon, minus the water that's absorbed by the grounds. You can make as much or as little as you want, just stick to that ratio. Bonus Suggestions [aka Wisdom Learned From My Mistakes]: - Use a glass container for making cold brew. It's not mandatory, but given the acidity of coffee, cold brew sitting in a metal carafe or bowl overnight will often taste metallic & plastic containers stain & warp permanently. - 8-12 hours is enough time to make cold brew, especially if you're brewing it at room temperature or if you don't want a super-caffeinated end product, but I found that brewing under refrigeration for 16-24 hours had a nice balance of flavours and extracted a lot of caffeine.

[@Nina-on7nv]

Me too, i need to google how to drink the cold brew now

[@motorbikeray]

I've been doing this method for years that most everyone who owns a French press and coffee bean grinder can do: 1. Use the coffee grinder to course grind two to three tablespoons of whole coffee beans. 2. Put the course ground coffee into the empty French press container. 3. Fill the French press container halfway with filtered water and stir the coffee to mix it with the water. 4. Fill the French press container with filtered water to one-inch below the top of the container. 5. Cover the French press container with aluminum foil and let the coffee brew in the refrigerator for 24 hours. 6. at 23.5 hours use the French press plunger to push the coffee down to the bottom of the French press container. 7. Put the French press container in refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the freshly pressed coffee settle. 8. At drink time pour the coffee into two mugs by filling one mug about one-inch then filling the other mug about one-inch. Repeat alternating one-inch pours between both mugs until all the cold brew coffee is poured. After I finish pouring the cold-brew coffee into the two mugs I prepare a new batch of cold-brew coffee that goes into the refrigerator less than five minutes later. The above 8 steps makes two 2-cup mugs of cold brew coffee for me daily. I drink the first 2-cup mug of cold-brew coffee around 3 hours after waking up, which is when my morning energy levels start to dip. I drink the second 2-cup mug of cold-brew coffee around 3 pm, which is when my afternoon energy levels start to dip. This cold-brew coffee doesn't need sugar or creamer or milk added. Enjoy the coffee black. [Edited 3/12/2022 with the below update] 1. Instead of a French press put the coarse ground coffee beans in a 2-liter bottle and fill the bottle with room-temperature filtered water. 2. Put the bottle in the refrigerator for 24 hours. 3. After 24-hours strain the brewed coffee through a steel mesh filter into an empty 2-liter bottle for drinking later. 4. Clean the first 2-liter bottle and prepare another batch of cold-brew coffee for the next day.

[@samhill2655]

I see a lot of cold brew methods call for a more concentrated ratio of about 1:5, producing a concentrate that is mixed with water to bring it up to the golden ratio of 1:15 - 1:18. This method has you brew it an already golden ratio of about 1:17.5. My question... which one is recommended? Also, how long will the brew last in the fridge? Thx.

Cafe Bustello espresso grind makes good coldbrew. You mix the coffee and cold or room temperature water in a jar, cover tightly and shake vigorously for a few minutes, let it sit about 5 minutes, shake again, allow to settle either in the fridge or at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. (Use a jar with enough space to allow a few inches headspace above the water.) Very carefully pour into filter lined strainet, leaving most of the grounds on the bottom.

As a Colombian coffee lover, I love your videos!!!

[@paljitsingh354]

I already know and have made cold brew many times. I just love coffee 😂

[@MsRockerchick1997]

uhhh summermoon is my actual favorite coffee god bless

[@MissySimpleM]

I like to first strain it through a mesh sieve and then put a coffee filter over the sieve and pour it through there again (basically I make a poor man's pour-over) I'm going to try your coffee-water ratio because everyone says something different so I'm constantly playing around with it trying to figure out what I like best. Also:the used coffee grounds make good fertilizer!

Moxie or you can use them to grow oyster mushrooms!

[@beeastownage13]

Just made this I did it for 24 hours and it came out strong which is very nice and made a Frappuccino using a small amount of it which turned out super tasty

[@daisukevideo]

I love coffee very much! I got here when I was watching a coffee video. Thank you! With love from Japan :)

[@beliarincon9156]

.....the 1st part of this video made me realize im a coffee addict....

[@perryhiley6749]

Actually, I just liked the Cold Brew from Starbucks and want to make it at home to drink once in a while...definitely not addicted to caffeine, but something tells me I might be after this video.

[@michellesurine9190]

i.. i think i’m in love with him

[@selenalamothe997]

thats exactly what i said too

[@nikkij2038]

Dudes I feel y’all Like, how is he this attractive?

[@proto6086]

same, uhg

[@LidyaSidauruk]

I use the 2nd method, it brings out the coffee aroma and tastes better. I also brewed it for 48 hours. The 1st time I'm doing it is by accident. I forgot to filter the coffee I brewed for 2 days and I tried to taste it and somehow it tasted good to me.

[@mariocassal2001]

Sir, you are a gentleman. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Respect from Brazil.

[@emilystone7790]

I’m not addicted, I’m trapped in my house right now and I need something to make me happy.😂😂

[@samsmith9075]

Why are you trapped?

[@luna7207]

My heart kind of skipped a few beats at the possibility of a new cold brew method. #theaddictionisreal.

[@ralphschraven339]

I was wondering what the heck "T-head diction" was... I had never heard of that type of diction before. Needless to say, I figured it out by now.

[@christophermihaly7029]

What difference does the hot bloom add or subtract to the flavor of the coffee? I personally just stumbled upon my best cold brew batch to date with 1:6 ratio of coffee to water, room temp filtered water, set room temp for 18hrs. Jet black, and enough caffeine to get you to the moon and back

[@JoshuaWeissman]

That sounds like a great ratio! Right so the hot bloom brings out some of the brighter notes of the coffee and it also tends to get a more even extraction of the coffee as well. To me it does two things to the flavor. First it makes the coffee flavor stronger in general (with a touch of bitterness), and it also brings out some of the citrusy notes of the coffee. I prefer doing the plain old immersion method, but if you're looking for a flavor switch up, the hot bloom definitely makes a difference. Hope this is helpful! :)

[@jenniferstevens1505]

They're both immersion methods, but with a pre-infusion or bloom, you're literally seeing the coffee (if not stale) grow, hence the name bloom. What's happening here is that the gases, majority CO2, are releasing from the grinds. Thus, there is room within the grinds for the water to get in and properly extract. That's the more 'consistent' extraction. More specific tasting notes/flavours will be apparent between different origins, roasts, etc. However, bitterness, acidity, sweetness and body are going to be the more noticeable changes in flavour from one brew to another considering the same bean.

[@HoganLifestyle]

What kind of rost do you use? Where is the bean from? And how is big grinding did you use? Sorry for my english))

[@christophermihaly7029]

@@HoganLifestyle I usually use whatever my local place has in stock. not sure where the beans are from, I try and get a different roast every time I go. Grind size would be medium, same as I use for my pour over. Cold brew doesn't really matter about grind size because it steeps for so long

[@amclay620]

I thought the whole idea behind cold brew immersion method (never saw "bloom" idea because that's just making normal coffee right?) was the flavour and the slow, less intense caffeine content and release?

[@DanielSRosehill]

Just wanna say that I loved the intro. Yes I am addicted to coffee! Yes I love cold brew! Yes I appreciate your guidance and lack of judgment! (And yes I wrote this comment after coffee!)

[@galibraid1530]

This was the first video I watched of Joshua when it came out. Still love his videos!

[@saulgoodman9597]

Thanks to cold brew I didn't sleep in the last 48 hours

[@rubscratch98]

He's like the Michel reeves of cooking

[@cristopherandrade3668]

Sorry I just found this channel now but your video is good and whacky plus educational one. Overall nice video 👍😁

[@life_with_movement]

The fact that I'm seeing summer moon coffee im already in love!

[@jasonfifi]

i do a bloomed cold brew, but then instead of just tossing it in the fridge, after i add room temp water, i set it in a 150f water bath for 2-3 hours. each hour in the sous vide is like 6-8 in the fridge or on a counter at room temp. also i discovered there're more oils in the strained coffee when you strain it warm, so even if i was doing it overnight, i'd finish it in a bath for an hour or so before straining.

[@elliecraig94]

0:04 No, I'm just broke and can't drive 😂😂

[@GoodMorningButch]

I usually use my french press to brew my cold brew.

[@Imjuliapagani]

I came here to say this, hahaha

[@Jo-jn3dc]

“You’re addicted to coffee” th-th-thanks, I-I-I kn-know I a-a-am.

[@hdb999]

Something I love doing for the sweetner, Maple Syrup. It mixes into the brew quite well vs. granulated sugar or honey (they kinda just glob at the bottom).

[@hadilayyad6147]

You can also make or buy simple syrup, sweetens and mixes very well with coffee :) it’s easy to make at home

[@Jenna_Tolls420]

i love this more than the new videos. No stupid voice or cringe editing involved. Or maybe im too old, maybe those targeted to tiktokers
