BREW GUIDE

FRENCH PRESS COLD BREW

Cold brew is no longer just reserved for the summertime – it’s easy to make and delicious year-round. Cold brew has more caffeine and less acidity than hot-brewed coffee, so it’s gentler on your stomach. Made in large batches, this method is perfect for refrigerating and sharing with friends and family.

Weigh out your coffee on a scale. We typically use a 1:7 ratio.
Grind the coffee beans. You will want them to resemble coarse sea salt for a French Press Cold Brew.
Weigh your beans. Place the French Press on the scale. Zero (tare) the scale and then add the premeasured coffee grinds.
Time to pour! Fill the French Press with room-temperature water. Use a spoon to make sure the water makes contact with all the grounds.
Let it sit! Cover the French Press and let it sit for 12-13 hours. Do not store the cold brew mixture in the refrigerator while it’s brewing.
Pour. After leaving the mixture out overnight or all day, press the plunger down on the French Press and pour the cold brew into a large jar or carafe.
Enjoy! Refrigerate and enjoy over ice!
