Plus, I’ve included my go-to cold brew recipe at the bottom.\nWe drink a lot of cold brew in our house, (even during the cold winter months!) because it’s just so good. But it took a long period of testing grind sizes, roasts and ratios to get to a point where my girlfriend and I were both happy.\nWhen you go down the rabbit hole of coffee, you’ll find it can be as complicated as wine.  But as long as you know the basics, making cold brew is not hard and it just takes a bit of time and practice.\nFirst, let’s pick a coffee…\nMy Top Picks for the Best Coffee for Cold Brew\nThis post contains Amazon Affiliate links to products I recommend and I may earn a small commission.\n#1. The Best – Stone Street Cold Brew Coffee\nThis blend of coffee, by Stone Street is made specifically for cold brew. You can order the beans whole, or have them pre-ground at the optimal grind for cold brew.\nIt’s a single origin, dark roast blend from Columbia with the usual nutty and dark chocolate tones that are present in cold brew. It’s a little bit more expensive then the others but people LOVE this coffee. Their raving reviews from Amazon are a clear sign that they this a solid choice for any cold brew lover.\nCheck the Price\n#2.\nThe Second Best – Cold Brew Lab Organic Coarse Ground Coffee\nAnother cold brew option made specifically for cold brewing is from the Cold Brew Lab in NYC. They love cold brew so much, that they focus on roasting beans specifically for cold brew.\nIt’s an organic, dark-roasted coffee but unlike the Stone Street Cold Brew, this is a blend and not a single origin. That’s probably why the price is slightly cheaper but it’s still a great choice.\nThere’s no option for whole beans, so that may deter some people who want to grind their beans fresh. They also come with different flavours, which I find a little tacky as I’m not a fan of flavoured coffee.\nStill, the regular cold brew from them is a decent coffee with a fair price.\nCheck the Price\n#3. Most Affordable – Stack Street Organic Cold Brew Coffee Coarse\nAnother coffee brand with the word “street” in its name. That must be a sign?\nThis is the cheaper, more affordable option for anyone looking to make some cold brew without spending too much money. Cheaper coffees are not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to making cold brew so this is still a great option.\nIt’s a Direct-trade, Columbian, dark-roasted coffee that comes pre-ground. Again, if you’re looking to use your fancy coffee grinder, then this isn’t for you.\nFor others though, the pre-ground coffee may be a lot more convenient. It’s not made specifically for cold brew, but the company says it’s blended coarse and can be used for cold brew.\nIt’s also got decent Amazon reviews and is a good entry-level choice.\nCheck the Price\nIf you don’t have time to brew your own you could also buy pre-made cold brew, although expect to pay a higher price.\nThis organic canned cold brew\nfrom Blue Bottle Coffee in San Fransisco is probably some of the best ready-made cold brew you can buy.\n#4 Fire Department Coffee – Bourbon Salted Caramel\nAlthough I’m not usually a fan of flavoured coffee, this Bourbon Salted Caramel from Fire Department Coffee made for some delicious cold brew!\nThe aroma from the cold brew even after straining was surprisingly strong and perfect if you like to drink your cold brew black.\nBut then again, I’m a sucker for anything with the words “salted caramel” beside it!\nCheck the price here\nBrewing Hot Vs. Brewing Cold\nHot brewed coffee will taste different from cold brewed coffee because different flavours are extracted at different temperatures. It’s true that cold brewed coffee will not extract as many flavours as hot brewed coffee simply because the temperature is not hot enough.\nThis means that most cold brew tends to taste similar with common flavours of nuts, dark chocolate and brown sugar.\nThe “problem” with cold brew is that the natural acidity from the beans doesn’t come through when brewing coffee cold. Coffee needs higher temperatures (like in normal brewed coffee) to extract the acidity from the beans. But not everyone enjoys acidic coffee and I personally find the low acidity to be a benefit from cold brew.\nThe point is that you wouldn’t want to waste an expensive single-origin light-roasted, sour coffee on a cold-brewed process because you’d be throwing away half of its potential by not brewing it hot.\nCold Brew Needs More Beans\nCold brew not only takes longer to make, but it also needs more ground beans to make a cup of cold brew vs a cup of hot brewed coffee. This is the main reason why cold brew is normally the most expensive coffee drink at your local coffee shop.\nImmersion Method Vs the Slow Drip Method\nThere are actually a few ways to make cold brew.\nThe first, and most popular method is the immersion method. Coarse ground coffee is soaked in cold or room temperature water and left to brew for anywhere from 12-48 hours. It’s the most popular method because anyone with a bucket and a strainer can do this.\nThe second method, called the slow drip method was actually invented by the Dutch and has been around before the popularity of cold brew in North America. It requires less time (roughly 3-4 hours of brewing) and less beans, which is not surprising because the Dutch are known for their efficiency.\nThe downside to this brewing is that the\nmachines\nare quite expensive, they take up a lot of space and they don’t yield much coffee. You may be able to find these in a small specialty coffee shop but you won’t find this online. The taste is stronger than regular cold brew and really, really good. If you get the chance to try some, go for it.\nLight Roast Vs. Dark Roast\nLightly roasted beans tend to be more acidic, more desirable and therefore more expensive. Higher-priced coffees are praised for their acidity from the malic and citric acid that is formed through the roasting process.\nDark roasts, on the other hand, are recommended for cold brew because they usually aline with the similar nutty, earthy and chocolatey flavours of cold brew.\nIt’s even rumored that Starbucks uses a medium roast for their cold brew. Say what you want about Starbucks, but there’s no doubt they’ve spent a large amount of time and energy researching the best coffee for cold brew.\nWhat Grind Size is the Best?\nFor our coffee, we use the same grind size for filter coffee – a medium grind. Most people will tell you that a coarse grind is best, but we found that the medium-sized grind was the sweet spot for the best extraction.\nToo fine of a grind and cold brew will taste bitter and over-extracted. While, too coarse of a grind and the coffee can taste unpleasantly acidic and of under-ripe, grassy flavours.\nIt’s important to point out that light roasted coffees will need to be left longer in the water because they won’t extract as easily as dark roasts.\nMy advice is start with coarse ground cold brew and see how you like it. Next time keep grinding smaller until you hit a point where the coffee starts to taste worse. This way you’ll find the perfect grind for your coffee.\nDo I Really Need that Fancy Grinder?\nNeed\nis a big word, but you’ll notice a huge difference in quality with properly ground beans.\nIn our tests, we noticed that our cheap grinder made a really inconsistent cold brew. It’s difficult to improve the coffee when you have inconsistent results because you don’t know whether to grind bigger or smaller.\nBetter grinders allow for a more consistent grind size which allows you to more accurately control the extraction.\nWe currently have our coffee ground at our local café because they have the expensive grinders which make the best coffee. It’s also free!\nIf you want to buy a\ngood grinder\nfor making cold brew then you’ll probably want to go with a\nburr-grinder\n. These are a little more pricey because they offer better results than the regular electric spice grinders which grind inconsistently and can also overheat your coffee.\nBlends Or Single Origins?\nSingle-origin coffees come from one specific region whereas blended coffees are from a mix of regions.\nJust like wine, single origins are more sought after because you can taste the true flavour of that region and compare it with other regions. There’s also more traceability with single-origin coffee which is an important step for fair pay to the coffee farmers.\nBlending wine or coffee correctly is a skill and needs to be done carefully to make something delicious. A good coffee roaster has the skillset to make a wonderful coffee blend that’s great for hot or cold coffee.\nBoth are great options, but single origin will almost always cost more.\nHow to Drink Cold Brew\nMost coffee roasters want you to drink your coffee black because that’s how they drink it. They spend a great deal of effort on roasting the coffee at the right time and temperature to bring out the right flavours.\nSo you can imagine how they feel when you drown their hard work in milk and sugar. It’s much more difficult to taste the small nuances of a carefully roasted coffee when you add milk and sugar because the flavours are masked.\nThat doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy coffee with milk and sugar, but it means that you’ll probably want to spend less money on coffee if you plan to do that. Personally, I love my cold brew with a small splash of oat milk but I think it also tastes great on its own.\nTips For the Best Cold Brew\nGrind size must be uniform – this is really really important\n. As soon as I starting asking my local café to grind the beans to the right size the taste improved drastically.\nOnce strained, let the cold brew sit overnight in the fridge so all the sediment sinks to the bottom. This way you won’t get any sediment in your coffee.\nUse a dark-medium roast for the best results.\nFollow Your Own Taste Buds\nWe tried many batches of cold brew all with different sizes, roasts and regions of coffee. Our experience was that the higher quality coffee consistently tasted better than other cold-brewed coffees. But you’ll likely have to do your own testing to find out what you like better.\nWhy I Make Cold-Brew\nHere are a few reasons why I love it.\nExtra Caffeine.\nLow bitterness.\nQuickly poured from the fridge first thing in the morning when I NEED my caffeine.\nDelicious chocolatey, earthy and nutty flavours.\nRefreshing in hot weather.\nDoesn’t require\nfancy equipment\n.\nExtra strong.\nEasier on the stomach – naturally low acid.\nThis is My Brew Ratio\nMy cold brew ratio is about 1:6 coffee to water\nand I find this to be perfect for my\nmedium roast coffee from Peru\n. Some people go 1:4 or even 1:3 but because I grind my beans slightly finer, I find 1:6 to be perfect.\nIf It’s Still Not Sweet Enough\nBefore you add sugar to the cold brew, please try it without.\nCold brew is generally less acidic and less bitter so it may actually taste sweeter than normal. If it’s still not sweet enough, you can make this easy simple syrup to add a drop or two of sweetness. Normal sugar will not dissolve properly into cold coffee.\nSimple syrup\n100g water\n100g white sugar\nPlace in a pan, stir and bring to a boil. Let cool and place in a bottle so you can easily add it to your drinks. Keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.\nTry these Other Drinks!\nHow to Make the Perfect Filter Coffee\nThis Refreshing Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso\nThis Light and Creamy Oatmilk Eggnog\nThe Incredible Hulk Drink\nThis DELICIOUS and Creamy Pina Colada (Vegan)\nThe Ultra Refreshing Limoncello Spritz\nThis Super Healthy Tropical Mango Smoothie\nThe Easiest BBQ Bloody Mary Cocktail\nThis Vodka and Watermelon Granita\nA Solid Recipe for Cold Brew Coffee\nThis recipe takes 24 hours and can last up to 4 weeks in the fridge.

Leave the lid open for 10 minutes to let some CO2 out. (Natural CO2 gas is released from coffee when mixed with water and especially when the coffee is very fresh)\nClose lid and let sit at room temp for 20-24 hours.\nStrain through a fine mesh strainer and store in glass bottles in the fridge.\nSet it in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Serve over lots of ice and dilute with splash of milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or water because it's very strong.\nThere will be some sediment from the coffee grinds that go through the strainer. You can filter this through a coffee filter again after but this will take a long time. I let it chill in the fridge overnight and the next day most of the sediment is at the bottom and that’s okay for me.\nBecause cold brew coffee doesn’t use hot water you must take care to thoroughly clean the brewing jar, the whisk and the storing jars with hot soapy water before and after each use. Boiling water for regular coffee normally kills bacteria with its high temperature whereas cold water does not. \nSources\n–\nThe World Atlas of Coffee by James Hoffman\n,\nCoffee Sapiens by Ferran Adrià and Lavazza\nHow About Some Other Recipes?\nThis Super Refreshing Limoncello Spritz\nUltra Refreshing Limoncello Spritz\nIt's crisp, light, not too sweet and ridiculously refreshing.

That must be a sign?\n\nThis is the cheaper, more affordable option for anyone looking to make some cold brew without spending too much money. Cheaper coffees are not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to making cold brew so this is still a great option.\n\nIt’s a Direct-trade, Columbian, dark-roasted coffee that comes pre-ground. Again, if you’re looking to use your fancy coffee grinder, then this isn’t for you.\n\nFor others though, the pre-ground coffee may be a lot more convenient. It’s not made specifically for cold brew, but the company says it’s blended coarse and can be used for cold brew.\n\nIt’s also got decent Amazon reviews and is a good entry-level choice.\n\n[Check the Price](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Stack-Street-Organic-Colombian-Supremo\/dp\/B078K1RTRJ?dchild=1&keywords=Metropolis%2BCoffee%2BCold%2BBrew%2BBlend&qid=1623836280&refinements=p_72%3A1248897011&rnid=1248895011&s=grocery&sr=1-33&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=c59ee40c3f63755c51ab76a57a0f4b38&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)\n\nIf you don’t have time to brew your own you could also buy pre-made cold brew, although expect to pay a higher price.\n\n[This organic canned cold brew](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Blue-Bottle-Coffee-Organic-Cold\/dp\/B01N5243LM?dchild=1&keywords=cold+brew+coffee&qid=1623785355&sr=8-67&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=4aed78d25686b2a7086b70488be143f0&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) from Blue Bottle Coffee in San Fransisco is probably some of the best ready-made cold brew you can buy.\n\n[\\#4 Fire Department Coffee – Bourbon Salted Caramel](https:\/\/www.firedeptcoffee.com\/collections\/bourbon\/products\/salted-caramel-bourbon-infused-coffee)\n\nAlthough I’m not usually a fan of flavoured coffee, this Bourbon Salted Caramel from Fire Department Coffee made for some delicious cold brew\\!\n\nThe aroma from the cold brew even after straining was surprisingly strong and perfect if you like to drink your cold brew black.\n\nBut then again, I’m a sucker for anything with the words “salted caramel” beside it\\!\n\n[Check the price here](https:\/\/www.firedeptcoffee.com\/collections\/bourbon\/products\/salted-caramel-bourbon-infused-coffee)\n## Brewing Hot Vs. Brewing Cold\nHot brewed coffee will taste different from cold brewed coffee because different flavours are extracted at different temperatures. It’s true that cold brewed coffee will not extract as many flavours as hot brewed coffee simply because the temperature is not hot enough.\n\nThis means that most cold brew tends to taste similar with common flavours of nuts, dark chocolate and brown sugar.\n\nThe “problem” with cold brew is that the natural acidity from the beans doesn’t come through when brewing coffee cold. Coffee needs higher temperatures (like in normal brewed coffee) to extract the acidity from the beans. But not everyone enjoys acidic coffee and I personally find the low acidity to be a benefit from cold brew.\n\nThe point is that you wouldn’t want to waste an expensive single-origin light-roasted, sour coffee on a cold-brewed process because you’d be throwing away half of its potential by not brewing it hot.\n\n## Cold Brew Needs More Beans\nCold brew not only takes longer to make, but it also needs more ground beans to make a cup of cold brew vs a cup of hot brewed coffee. This is the main reason why cold brew is normally the most expensive coffee drink at your local coffee shop.\n\n![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cold-Brew-Coffee-6-683x1024.jpg)\n\n![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20683%201024%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n## Immersion Method Vs the Slow Drip Method\nThere are actually a few ways to make cold brew.\n\nThe first, and most popular method is the immersion method. Coarse ground coffee is soaked in cold or room temperature water and left to brew for anywhere from 12-48 hours. It’s the most popular method because anyone with a bucket and a strainer can do this.\n\nThe second method, called the slow drip method was actually invented by the Dutch and has been around before the popularity of cold brew in North America. It requires less time (roughly 3-4 hours of brewing) and less beans, which is not surprising because the Dutch are known for their efficiency.\n\nThe downside to this brewing is that the [machines](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Yama-Glass-YAMCDM8SBK-Coffee-Technology\/dp\/B004EBUZ1A?dchild=1&keywords=dutch+cold+brew+maker&qid=1623839331&sr=8-7&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=b45b89b69e7d565ef7ee1ed4c0c7d3bd&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) are quite expensive, they take up a lot of space and they don’t yield much coffee. You may be able to find these in a small specialty coffee shop but you won’t find this online. The taste is stronger than regular cold brew and really, really good. If you get the chance to try some, go for it.\n\n#### Light Roast Vs. Dark Roast\nLightly roasted beans tend to be more acidic, more desirable and therefore more expensive. Higher-priced coffees are praised for their acidity from the malic and citric acid that is formed through the roasting process.\n\nDark roasts, on the other hand, are recommended for cold brew because they usually aline with the similar nutty, earthy and chocolatey flavours of cold brew.\n\nIt’s even rumored that Starbucks uses a medium roast for their cold brew. Say what you want about Starbucks, but there’s no doubt they’ve spent a large amount of time and energy researching the best coffee for cold brew.\n\n#### What Grind Size is the Best?\nFor our coffee, we use the same grind size for filter coffee – a medium grind. Most people will tell you that a coarse grind is best, but we found that the medium-sized grind was the sweet spot for the best extraction.\n\nToo fine of a grind and cold brew will taste bitter and over-extracted. While, too coarse of a grind and the coffee can taste unpleasantly acidic and of under-ripe, grassy flavours.\n\nIt’s important to point out that light roasted coffees will need to be left longer in the water because they won’t extract as easily as dark roasts.\n\nMy advice is start with coarse ground cold brew and see how you like it. Next time keep grinding smaller until you hit a point where the coffee starts to taste worse. This way you’ll find the perfect grind for your coffee.\n\n#### Do I Really Need that Fancy Grinder?\n*Need* is a big word, but you’ll notice a huge difference in quality with properly ground beans.\n\nIn our tests, we noticed that our cheap grinder made a really inconsistent cold brew. It’s difficult to improve the coffee when you have inconsistent results because you don’t know whether to grind bigger or smaller.\n\nBetter grinders allow for a more consistent grind size which allows you to more accurately control the extraction.\n\nWe currently have our coffee ground at our local café because they have the expensive grinders which make the best coffee. It’s also free\\!\n\nIf you want to buy a [good grinder](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Baratza-Encore-Conical-Coffee-Grinder\/dp\/B007F183LK?dchild=1&keywords=Baratza+Encore&qid=1623167435&s=photo&sr=1-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=eb65e92c7d3bd01698fa9f0852ed35ce&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) for making cold brew then you’ll probably want to go with a [burr-grinder](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Baratza-Encore-Conical-Coffee-Grinder\/dp\/B007F183LK?dchild=1&keywords=Baratza+Encore&qid=1623167435&s=photo&sr=1-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=eb65e92c7d3bd01698fa9f0852ed35ce&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl). These are a little more pricey because they offer better results than the regular electric spice grinders which grind inconsistently and can also overheat your coffee.\n\n## Blends Or Single Origins?\nSingle-origin coffees come from one specific region whereas blended coffees are from a mix of regions.\n\nJust like wine, single origins are more sought after because you can taste the true flavour of that region and compare it with other regions. There’s also more traceability with single-origin coffee which is an important step for fair pay to the coffee farmers.\n\nBlending wine or coffee correctly is a skill and needs to be done carefully to make something delicious. A good coffee roaster has the skillset to make a wonderful coffee blend that’s great for hot or cold coffee.\n\nBoth are great options, but single origin will almost always cost more.\n\n## How to Drink Cold Brew\nMost coffee roasters want you to drink your coffee black because that’s how they drink it. They spend a great deal of effort on roasting the coffee at the right time and temperature to bring out the right flavours.\n\nSo you can imagine how they feel when you drown their hard work in milk and sugar. It’s much more difficult to taste the small nuances of a carefully roasted coffee when you add milk and sugar because the flavours are masked.\n\nThat doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy coffee with milk and sugar, but it means that you’ll probably want to spend less money on coffee if you plan to do that. Personally, I love my cold brew with a small splash of oat milk but I think it also tastes great on its own.\n\n## Tips For the Best Cold Brew\n- **Grind size must be uniform – this is really really important**. As soon as I starting asking my local café to grind the beans to the right size the taste improved drastically.\n- Once strained, let the cold brew sit overnight in the fridge so all the sediment sinks to the bottom. This way you won’t get any sediment in your coffee.\n- Use a dark-medium roast for the best results.\n## Follow Your Own Taste Buds\nWe tried many batches of cold brew all with different sizes, roasts and regions of coffee. Our experience was that the higher quality coffee consistently tasted better than other cold-brewed coffees. But you’ll likely have to do your own testing to find out what you like better.\n\n![Cold brew coffee with lots of crema at the top.](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cold-Brew-Coffee-5-683x1024.jpg)\n\n![Cold brew coffee with lots of crema at the top.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20683%201024%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n## Why I Make Cold-Brew\nHere are a few reasons why I love it.\n\n- Extra Caffeine.\n- Low bitterness.\n- Quickly poured from the fridge first thing in the morning when I NEED my caffeine.\n- Delicious chocolatey, earthy and nutty flavours.\n- Refreshing in hot weather.\n- Doesn’t require [fancy equipment](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08C99TKL5\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=bdeglazed-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08C99TKL5&linkId=4e0314d954005c17c19e0fe54846f240).\n- Extra strong.\n- Easier on the stomach – naturally low acid.\n## This is My Brew Ratio\n**My cold brew ratio is about 1:6 coffee to water** and I find this to be perfect for my [medium roast coffee from Peru](https:\/\/www.blanchedael.nl\/peru-amazonas-organic). Some people go 1:4 or even 1:3 but because I grind my beans slightly finer, I find 1:6 to be perfect.\n\n## If It’s Still Not Sweet Enough\nBefore you add sugar to the cold brew, please try it without.\n\nCold brew is generally less acidic and less bitter so it may actually taste sweeter than normal. If it’s still not sweet enough, you can make this easy simple syrup to add a drop or two of sweetness. Normal sugar will not dissolve properly into cold coffee.\n\n#### **Simple syrup**\n100g water  \n100g white sugar\n\nPlace in a pan, stir and bring to a boil. Let cool and place in a bottle so you can easily add it to your drinks. Keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.\n\n## Try these Other Drinks\\!\n- [How to Make the Perfect Filter Coffee](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/how-to-make-filter-coffee-perfect-every-time\/)\n- [This Refreshing Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/bbq-bloody-mary-cocktail\/)\n- [This Light and Creamy Oatmilk Eggnog](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/oat-milk-eggnog\/)\n- [The Incredible Hulk Drink](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/the-incredible-hulk-drink\/)\n- [This DELICIOUS and Creamy Pina Colada (Vegan)](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/an-easy-pina-colada-with-fresh-lime\/)\n- [The Ultra Refreshing Limoncello Spritz](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/limoncello-spritz\/)\n- [This Super Healthy Tropical Mango Smoothie](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/healthy-mango-smoothie\/)\n- [The Easiest BBQ Bloody Mary Cocktail](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/bbq-bloody-mary-cocktail\/)\n- [This Vodka and Watermelon Granita](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/vodka-watermelon-basil-granita\/)\n\n![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cold-Brew-Coffee-4-150x150.jpg)\n\n![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20150%20150%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n[Print](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wprm_print\/a-solid-recipe-for-cold-brew-coffee)\n\n[Pin](https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/bookmarklet\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbraisedanddeglazed.com%2Fthe-best-coffee-for-cold-brew-with-a-recipe%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fbraisedanddeglazed.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F12%2FCold-Brew-Coffee-4.jpg&description=This+recipe+takes+24+hours+and+can+last+up+to+4+weeks+in+the+fridge.+Drink+with+lots+of+ice.&is_video=false)\n\n5 from 2 votes\n## A Solid Recipe for Cold Brew Coffee\nThis recipe takes 24 hours and can last up to 4 weeks in the fridge.

Leave the lid open for 10 minutes to let some CO2 out. (Natural CO2 gas is released from coffee when mixed with water and especially when the coffee is very fresh)\n  ![Mixing the cold brew coffee with a whisk.](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cold-Brew-Coffee-3-scaled.jpg)\n  \n  ![Mixing the cold brew coffee with a whisk.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%202560%201707%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n- Close lid and let sit at room temp for 20-24 hours.\n- Strain through a fine mesh strainer and store in glass bottles in the fridge.\n  ![Using a fine mesh strainer to strain the coffee.](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cold-Brew-Coffee-7-scaled.jpg)\n  \n  ![Using a fine mesh strainer to strain the coffee.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%202560%201706%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n- Set it in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Serve over lots of ice and dilute with splash of milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or water because it's very strong.\n\n### Notes\nThere will be some sediment from the coffee grinds that go through the strainer. You can filter this through a coffee filter again after but this will take a long time. I let it chill in the fridge overnight and the next day most of the sediment is at the bottom and that’s okay for me.\n\nBecause cold brew coffee doesn’t use hot water you must take care to thoroughly clean the brewing jar, the whisk and the storing jars with hot soapy water before and after each use.

Plus, I’ve included my go-to cold brew recipe at the bottom.\n\nWe drink a lot of cold brew in our house, (even during the cold winter months!) because it’s just so good. But it took a long period of testing grind sizes, roasts and ratios to get to a point where my girlfriend and I were both happy.\n\nWhen you go down the rabbit hole of coffee, you’ll find it can be as complicated as wine. But as long as you know the basics, making cold brew is not hard and it just takes a bit of time and practice.\n\n**First, let’s pick a coffee…**\n\n![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cold-Brew-Coffee-4-683x1024.jpg)\n\n## My Top Picks for the Best Coffee for Cold Brew\n*This post contains Amazon Affiliate links to products I recommend and I may earn a small commission.*\n\n**[\\#1.

You can order the beans whole, or have them pre-ground at the optimal grind for cold brew.\n\nIt’s a single origin, dark roast blend from Columbia with the usual nutty and dark chocolate tones that are present in cold brew. It’s a little bit more expensive then the others but people LOVE this coffee. Their raving reviews from Amazon are a clear sign that they this a solid choice for any cold brew lover.\n\n**[Check the Price](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B075ZWNF5R?th=1&ascsubtag=5181433%7Cnca8ef378f47b4d85b3ab7c0ee754f58519&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=e289edf0801f08c0c8d2defedf002d23&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)**\n\n\\#2. **[The Second Best – Cold Brew Lab Organic Coarse Ground Coffee](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B075DHBTWK?th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=5181433%7Cnca8ef378f47b4d85b3ab7c0ee754f58519&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=926679754c20e5762af3e8be3137659c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)**\n\n[![](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E)](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B075DHBTWK?th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=5181433%7Cnca8ef378f47b4d85b3ab7c0ee754f58519&linkCode=li3&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=884ea3754df62e8099cdf984a294102d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_il)![](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%201%201%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\nAnother cold brew option made specifically for cold brewing is from the Cold Brew Lab in NYC. They love cold brew so much, that they focus on roasting beans specifically for cold brew.\n\nIt’s an organic, dark-roasted coffee but unlike the Stone Street Cold Brew, this is a blend and not a single origin. That’s probably why the price is slightly cheaper but it’s still a great choice.\n\nThere’s no option for whole beans, so that may deter some people who want to grind their beans fresh. They also come with different flavours, which I find a little tacky as I’m not a fan of flavoured coffee.\n\nStill, the regular cold brew from them is a decent coffee with a fair price.\n\n**[Check the Price](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B075DHBTWK?th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=5181433%7Cnca8ef378f47b4d85b3ab7c0ee754f58519&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=926679754c20e5762af3e8be3137659c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)**\n\n[\\#3.

That must be a sign?\n\nThis is the cheaper, more affordable option for anyone looking to make some cold brew without spending too much money. Cheaper coffees are not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to making cold brew so this is still a great option.\n\nIt’s a Direct-trade, Columbian, dark-roasted coffee that comes pre-ground. Again, if you’re looking to use your fancy coffee grinder, then this isn’t for you.\n\nFor others though, the pre-ground coffee may be a lot more convenient. It’s not made specifically for cold brew, but the company says it’s blended coarse and can be used for cold brew.\n\nIt’s also got decent Amazon reviews and is a good entry-level choice.\n\n[Check the Price](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Stack-Street-Organic-Colombian-Supremo\/dp\/B078K1RTRJ?dchild=1&keywords=Metropolis%2BCoffee%2BCold%2BBrew%2BBlend&qid=1623836280&refinements=p_72%3A1248897011&rnid=1248895011&s=grocery&sr=1-33&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=c59ee40c3f63755c51ab76a57a0f4b38&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)\n\nIf you don’t have time to brew your own you could also buy pre-made cold brew, although expect to pay a higher price.\n\n[This organic canned cold brew](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Blue-Bottle-Coffee-Organic-Cold\/dp\/B01N5243LM?dchild=1&keywords=cold+brew+coffee&qid=1623785355&sr=8-67&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=4aed78d25686b2a7086b70488be143f0&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) from Blue Bottle Coffee in San Fransisco is probably some of the best ready-made cold brew you can buy.\n\n[\\#4 Fire Department Coffee – Bourbon Salted Caramel](https:\/\/www.firedeptcoffee.com\/collections\/bourbon\/products\/salted-caramel-bourbon-infused-coffee)\n\nAlthough I’m not usually a fan of flavoured coffee, this Bourbon Salted Caramel from Fire Department Coffee made for some delicious cold brew\\!\n\nThe aroma from the cold brew even after straining was surprisingly strong and perfect if you like to drink your cold brew black.\n\nBut then again, I’m a sucker for anything with the words “salted caramel” beside it\\!\n\n[Check the price here](https:\/\/www.firedeptcoffee.com\/collections\/bourbon\/products\/salted-caramel-bourbon-infused-coffee)\n## Brewing Hot Vs. Brewing Cold\nHot brewed coffee will taste different from cold brewed coffee because different flavours are extracted at different temperatures. It’s true that cold brewed coffee will not extract as many flavours as hot brewed coffee simply because the temperature is not hot enough.\n\nThis means that most cold brew tends to taste similar with common flavours of nuts, dark chocolate and brown sugar.\n\nThe “problem” with cold brew is that the natural acidity from the beans doesn’t come through when brewing coffee cold. Coffee needs higher temperatures (like in normal brewed coffee) to extract the acidity from the beans. But not everyone enjoys acidic coffee and I personally find the low acidity to be a benefit from cold brew.\n\nThe point is that you wouldn’t want to waste an expensive single-origin light-roasted, sour coffee on a cold-brewed process because you’d be throwing away half of its potential by not brewing it hot.\n\n## Cold Brew Needs More Beans\nCold brew not only takes longer to make, but it also needs more ground beans to make a cup of cold brew vs a cup of hot brewed coffee. This is the main reason why cold brew is normally the most expensive coffee drink at your local coffee shop.\n\n![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cold-Brew-Coffee-6-683x1024.jpg)\n\n## Immersion Method Vs the Slow Drip Method\nThere are actually a few ways to make cold brew.\n\nThe first, and most popular method is the immersion method. Coarse ground coffee is soaked in cold or room temperature water and left to brew for anywhere from 12-48 hours. It’s the most popular method because anyone with a bucket and a strainer can do this.\n\nThe second method, called the slow drip method was actually invented by the Dutch and has been around before the popularity of cold brew in North America. It requires less time (roughly 3-4 hours of brewing) and less beans, which is not surprising because the Dutch are known for their efficiency.\n\nThe downside to this brewing is that the [machines](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Yama-Glass-YAMCDM8SBK-Coffee-Technology\/dp\/B004EBUZ1A?dchild=1&keywords=dutch+cold+brew+maker&qid=1623839331&sr=8-7&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=b45b89b69e7d565ef7ee1ed4c0c7d3bd&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) are quite expensive, they take up a lot of space and they don’t yield much coffee. You may be able to find these in a small specialty coffee shop but you won’t find this online. The taste is stronger than regular cold brew and really, really good. If you get the chance to try some, go for it.\n\n#### Light Roast Vs. Dark Roast\nLightly roasted beans tend to be more acidic, more desirable and therefore more expensive. Higher-priced coffees are praised for their acidity from the malic and citric acid that is formed through the roasting process.\n\nDark roasts, on the other hand, are recommended for cold brew because they usually aline with the similar nutty, earthy and chocolatey flavours of cold brew.\n\nIt’s even rumored that Starbucks uses a medium roast for their cold brew. Say what you want about Starbucks, but there’s no doubt they’ve spent a large amount of time and energy researching the best coffee for cold brew.\n\n#### What Grind Size is the Best?\nFor our coffee, we use the same grind size for filter coffee – a medium grind. Most people will tell you that a coarse grind is best, but we found that the medium-sized grind was the sweet spot for the best extraction.\n\nToo fine of a grind and cold brew will taste bitter and over-extracted. While, too coarse of a grind and the coffee can taste unpleasantly acidic and of under-ripe, grassy flavours.\n\nIt’s important to point out that light roasted coffees will need to be left longer in the water because they won’t extract as easily as dark roasts.\n\nMy advice is start with coarse ground cold brew and see how you like it. Next time keep grinding smaller until you hit a point where the coffee starts to taste worse. This way you’ll find the perfect grind for your coffee.\n\n#### Do I Really Need that Fancy Grinder?\n*Need* is a big word, but you’ll notice a huge difference in quality with properly ground beans.\n\nIn our tests, we noticed that our cheap grinder made a really inconsistent cold brew. It’s difficult to improve the coffee when you have inconsistent results because you don’t know whether to grind bigger or smaller.\n\nBetter grinders allow for a more consistent grind size which allows you to more accurately control the extraction.\n\nWe currently have our coffee ground at our local café because they have the expensive grinders which make the best coffee. It’s also free\\!\n\nIf you want to buy a [good grinder](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Baratza-Encore-Conical-Coffee-Grinder\/dp\/B007F183LK?dchild=1&keywords=Baratza+Encore&qid=1623167435&s=photo&sr=1-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=eb65e92c7d3bd01698fa9f0852ed35ce&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) for making cold brew then you’ll probably want to go with a [burr-grinder](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Baratza-Encore-Conical-Coffee-Grinder\/dp\/B007F183LK?dchild=1&keywords=Baratza+Encore&qid=1623167435&s=photo&sr=1-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=eb65e92c7d3bd01698fa9f0852ed35ce&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl). These are a little more pricey because they offer better results than the regular electric spice grinders which grind inconsistently and can also overheat your coffee.\n\n## Blends Or Single Origins?\nSingle-origin coffees come from one specific region whereas blended coffees are from a mix of regions.\n\nJust like wine, single origins are more sought after because you can taste the true flavour of that region and compare it with other regions. There’s also more traceability with single-origin coffee which is an important step for fair pay to the coffee farmers.\n\nBlending wine or coffee correctly is a skill and needs to be done carefully to make something delicious. A good coffee roaster has the skillset to make a wonderful coffee blend that’s great for hot or cold coffee.\n\nBoth are great options, but single origin will almost always cost more.\n\n## How to Drink Cold Brew\nMost coffee roasters want you to drink your coffee black because that’s how they drink it. They spend a great deal of effort on roasting the coffee at the right time and temperature to bring out the right flavours.\n\nSo you can imagine how they feel when you drown their hard work in milk and sugar. It’s much more difficult to taste the small nuances of a carefully roasted coffee when you add milk and sugar because the flavours are masked.\n\nThat doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy coffee with milk and sugar, but it means that you’ll probably want to spend less money on coffee if you plan to do that. Personally, I love my cold brew with a small splash of oat milk but I think it also tastes great on its own.\n\n## Tips For the Best Cold Brew\n- **Grind size must be uniform – this is really really important**. As soon as I starting asking my local café to grind the beans to the right size the taste improved drastically.\n- Once strained, let the cold brew sit overnight in the fridge so all the sediment sinks to the bottom. This way you won’t get any sediment in your coffee.\n- Use a dark-medium roast for the best results.\n## Follow Your Own Taste Buds\nWe tried many batches of cold brew all with different sizes, roasts and regions of coffee. Our experience was that the higher quality coffee consistently tasted better than other cold-brewed coffees. But you’ll likely have to do your own testing to find out what you like better.\n\n![Cold brew coffee with lots of crema at the top.](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cold-Brew-Coffee-5-683x1024.jpg)\n\n## Why I Make Cold-Brew\nHere are a few reasons why I love it.\n\n- Extra Caffeine.\n- Low bitterness.\n- Quickly poured from the fridge first thing in the morning when I NEED my caffeine.\n- Delicious chocolatey, earthy and nutty flavours.\n- Refreshing in hot weather.\n- Doesn’t require [fancy equipment](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08C99TKL5\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=bdeglazed-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08C99TKL5&linkId=4e0314d954005c17c19e0fe54846f240).\n- Extra strong.\n- Easier on the stomach – naturally low acid.\n## This is My Brew Ratio\n**My cold brew ratio is about 1:6 coffee to water** and I find this to be perfect for my [medium roast coffee from Peru](https:\/\/www.blanchedael.nl\/peru-amazonas-organic). Some people go 1:4 or even 1:3 but because I grind my beans slightly finer, I find 1:6 to be perfect.\n\n## If It’s Still Not Sweet Enough\nBefore you add sugar to the cold brew, please try it without.\n\nCold brew is generally less acidic and less bitter so it may actually taste sweeter than normal. If it’s still not sweet enough, you can make this easy simple syrup to add a drop or two of sweetness. Normal sugar will not dissolve properly into cold coffee.\n\n#### **Simple syrup**\n100g water  \n100g white sugar\n\nPlace in a pan, stir and bring to a boil. Let cool and place in a bottle so you can easily add it to your drinks. Keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.\n\n## Try these Other Drinks\\!\n- [How to Make the Perfect Filter Coffee](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/how-to-make-filter-coffee-perfect-every-time\/)\n- [This Refreshing Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/bbq-bloody-mary-cocktail\/)\n- [This Light and Creamy Oatmilk Eggnog](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/oat-milk-eggnog\/)\n- [The Incredible Hulk Drink](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/the-incredible-hulk-drink\/)\n- [This DELICIOUS and Creamy Pina Colada (Vegan)](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/an-easy-pina-colada-with-fresh-lime\/)\n- [The Ultra Refreshing Limoncello Spritz](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/limoncello-spritz\/)\n- [This Super Healthy Tropical Mango Smoothie](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/healthy-mango-smoothie\/)\n- [The Easiest BBQ Bloody Mary Cocktail](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/bbq-bloody-mary-cocktail\/)\n- [This Vodka and Watermelon Granita](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/vodka-watermelon-basil-granita\/)\n\n## A Solid Recipe for Cold Brew Coffee\nThis recipe takes 24 hours and can last up to 4 weeks in the fridge. Drink with lots of ice.\n\nPrep Time 1 day\n\nStraining 5 minutes\n\nTotal Time 1 day  5 minutes\n\nServings 2 Liters\n\nCost 6\\.50€\n\n- 500 g ground coffee (for filter coffee) ask your local café to grind for you unless you have a really really good grinder\n- 3 L cold water preferably filtered\n\n- Add cold water and ground coffee to the big jar and mix really well with the whisk. Leave the lid open for 10 minutes to let some CO2 out. (Natural CO2 gas is released from coffee when mixed with water and especially when the coffee is very fresh)\n  ![Mixing the cold brew coffee with a whisk.](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cold-Brew-Coffee-3-scaled.jpg)\n- Close lid and let sit at room temp for 20-24 hours.\n- Strain through a fine mesh strainer and store in glass bottles in the fridge.\n  ![Using a fine mesh strainer to strain the coffee.](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Cold-Brew-Coffee-7-scaled.jpg)\n- Set it in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Serve over lots of ice and dilute with splash of milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or water because it's very strong.\n\nThere will be some sediment from the coffee grinds that go through the strainer. You can filter this through a coffee filter again after but this will take a long time. I let it chill in the fridge overnight and the next day most of the sediment is at the bottom and that’s okay for me.\n\nBecause cold brew coffee doesn’t use hot water you must take care to thoroughly clean the brewing jar, the whisk and the storing jars with hot soapy water before and after each use. Boiling water for regular coffee normally kills bacteria with its high temperature whereas cold water does not.\n\n***Sources** – [The World Atlas of Coffee by James Hoffman](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/World-Atlas-Coffee-Explored-Explained\/dp\/0228100941?dchild=1&keywords=world+coffee+atlas+james+hoffman&qid=1623843317&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=9a80cc99acaf417c51a970ddeeab23d9&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl), [Coffee Sapiens by Ferran Adrià and Lavazza](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Coffee-Sapiens-Innovation-through-understanding\/dp\/1838660119?dchild=1&keywords=coffee+sapiens&qid=1623843414&sr=8-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=b1840b81c516d1f9401830c604e2dea8&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)*\n\n## How About Some Other Recipes?\n[This Super Refreshing Limoncello Spritz](https:\/\/braisedanddeglazed.com\/limoncello-spritz\/)\n\nUltra Refreshing Limoncello Spritz\n\nIt's crisp, light, not too sweet and ridiculously refreshing.

Boilerpipe Text	What’s the best coffee for cold brew? After many trials, it seems that a medium-dark roast coffee is the best option and I’ll explain why in this post. Plus, I’ve included my go-to cold brew recipe at the bottom. We drink a lot of cold brew in our house, (even during the cold winter months!) because it’s just so good. But it took a long period of testing grind sizes, roasts and ratios to get to a point where my girlfriend and I were both happy. When you go down the rabbit hole of coffee, you’ll find it can be as complicated as wine. But as long as you know the basics, making cold brew is not hard and it just takes a bit of time and practice. First, let’s pick a coffee… My Top Picks for the Best Coffee for Cold Brew This post contains Amazon Affiliate links to products I recommend and I may earn a small commission. #1. The Best – Stone Street Cold Brew Coffee This blend of coffee, by Stone Street is made specifically for cold brew. You can order the beans whole, or have them pre-ground at the optimal grind for cold brew. It’s a single origin, dark roast blend from Columbia with the usual nutty and dark chocolate tones that are present in cold brew. It’s a little bit more expensive then the others but people LOVE this coffee. Their raving reviews from Amazon are a clear sign that they this a solid choice for any cold brew lover. Check the Price #2. The Second Best – Cold Brew Lab Organic Coarse Ground Coffee Another cold brew option made specifically for cold brewing is from the Cold Brew Lab in NYC. They love cold brew so much, that they focus on roasting beans specifically for cold brew. It’s an organic, dark-roasted coffee but unlike the Stone Street Cold Brew, this is a blend and not a single origin. That’s probably why the price is slightly cheaper but it’s still a great choice. There’s no option for whole beans, so that may deter some people who want to grind their beans fresh. They also come with different flavours, which I find a little tacky as I’m not a fan of flavoured coffee. Still, the regular cold brew from them is a decent coffee with a fair price. Check the Price #3. Most Affordable – Stack Street Organic Cold Brew Coffee Coarse Another coffee brand with the word “street” in its name. That must be a sign? This is the cheaper, more affordable option for anyone looking to make some cold brew without spending too much money. Cheaper coffees are not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to making cold brew so this is still a great option. It’s a Direct-trade, Columbian, dark-roasted coffee that comes pre-ground. Again, if you’re looking to use your fancy coffee grinder, then this isn’t for you. For others though, the pre-ground coffee may be a lot more convenient. It’s not made specifically for cold brew, but the company says it’s blended coarse and can be used for cold brew. It’s also got decent Amazon reviews and is a good entry-level choice. Check the Price If you don’t have time to brew your own you could also buy pre-made cold brew, although expect to pay a higher price. This organic canned cold brew from Blue Bottle Coffee in San Fransisco is probably some of the best ready-made cold brew you can buy. #4 Fire Department Coffee – Bourbon Salted Caramel Although I’m not usually a fan of flavoured coffee, this Bourbon Salted Caramel from Fire Department Coffee made for some delicious cold brew! The aroma from the cold brew even after straining was surprisingly strong and perfect if you like to drink your cold brew black. But then again, I’m a sucker for anything with the words “salted caramel” beside it! Check the price here Brewing Hot Vs. Brewing Cold Hot brewed coffee will taste different from cold brewed coffee because different flavours are extracted at different temperatures. It’s true that cold brewed coffee will not extract as many flavours as hot brewed coffee simply because the temperature is not hot enough. This means that most cold brew tends to taste similar with common flavours of nuts, dark chocolate and brown sugar. The “problem” with cold brew is that the natural acidity from the beans doesn’t come through when brewing coffee cold. Coffee needs higher temperatures (like in normal brewed coffee) to extract the acidity from the beans. But not everyone enjoys acidic coffee and I personally find the low acidity to be a benefit from cold brew. The point is that you wouldn’t want to waste an expensive single-origin light-roasted, sour coffee on a cold-brewed process because you’d be throwing away half of its potential by not brewing it hot. Cold Brew Needs More Beans Cold brew not only takes longer to make, but it also needs more ground beans to make a cup of cold brew vs a cup of hot brewed coffee. This is the main reason why cold brew is normally the most expensive coffee drink at your local coffee shop. Immersion Method Vs the Slow Drip Method There are actually a few ways to make cold brew. The first, and most popular method is the immersion method. Coarse ground coffee is soaked in cold or room temperature water and left to brew for anywhere from 12-48 hours. It’s the most popular method because anyone with a bucket and a strainer can do this. The second method, called the slow drip method was actually invented by the Dutch and has been around before the popularity of cold brew in North America. It requires less time (roughly 3-4 hours of brewing) and less beans, which is not surprising because the Dutch are known for their efficiency. The downside to this brewing is that the machines are quite expensive, they take up a lot of space and they don’t yield much coffee. You may be able to find these in a small specialty coffee shop but you won’t find this online. The taste is stronger than regular cold brew and really, really good. If you get the chance to try some, go for it. Light Roast Vs. Dark Roast Lightly roasted beans tend to be more acidic, more desirable and therefore more expensive. Higher-priced coffees are praised for their acidity from the malic and citric acid that is formed through the roasting process. Dark roasts, on the other hand, are recommended for cold brew because they usually aline with the similar nutty, earthy and chocolatey flavours of cold brew. It’s even rumored that Starbucks uses a medium roast for their cold brew. Say what you want about Starbucks, but there’s no doubt they’ve spent a large amount of time and energy researching the best coffee for cold brew. What Grind Size is the Best? For our coffee, we use the same grind size for filter coffee – a medium grind. Most people will tell you that a coarse grind is best, but we found that the medium-sized grind was the sweet spot for the best extraction. Too fine of a grind and cold brew will taste bitter and over-extracted. While, too coarse of a grind and the coffee can taste unpleasantly acidic and of under-ripe, grassy flavours. It’s important to point out that light roasted coffees will need to be left longer in the water because they won’t extract as easily as dark roasts. My advice is start with coarse ground cold brew and see how you like it. Next time keep grinding smaller until you hit a point where the coffee starts to taste worse. This way you’ll find the perfect grind for your coffee. Do I Really Need that Fancy Grinder? Need is a big word, but you’ll notice a huge difference in quality with properly ground beans. In our tests, we noticed that our cheap grinder made a really inconsistent cold brew. It’s difficult to improve the coffee when you have inconsistent results because you don’t know whether to grind bigger or smaller. Better grinders allow for a more consistent grind size which allows you to more accurately control the extraction. We currently have our coffee ground at our local café because they have the expensive grinders which make the best coffee. It’s also free! If you want to buy a good grinder for making cold brew then you’ll probably want to go with a burr-grinder . These are a little more pricey because they offer better results than the regular electric spice grinders which grind inconsistently and can also overheat your coffee. Blends Or Single Origins? Single-origin coffees come from one specific region whereas blended coffees are from a mix of regions. Just like wine, single origins are more sought after because you can taste the true flavour of that region and compare it with other regions. There’s also more traceability with single-origin coffee which is an important step for fair pay to the coffee farmers. Blending wine or coffee correctly is a skill and needs to be done carefully to make something delicious. A good coffee roaster has the skillset to make a wonderful coffee blend that’s great for hot or cold coffee. Both are great options, but single origin will almost always cost more. How to Drink Cold Brew Most coffee roasters want you to drink your coffee black because that’s how they drink it. They spend a great deal of effort on roasting the coffee at the right time and temperature to bring out the right flavours. So you can imagine how they feel when you drown their hard work in milk and sugar. It’s much more difficult to taste the small nuances of a carefully roasted coffee when you add milk and sugar because the flavours are masked. That doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy coffee with milk and sugar, but it means that you’ll probably want to spend less money on coffee if you plan to do that. Personally, I love my cold brew with a small splash of oat milk but I think it also tastes great on its own. Tips For the Best Cold Brew Grind size must be uniform – this is really really important . As soon as I starting asking my local café to grind the beans to the right size the taste improved drastically. Once strained, let the cold brew sit overnight in the fridge so all the sediment sinks to the bottom. This way you won’t get any sediment in your coffee. Use a dark-medium roast for the best results. Follow Your Own Taste Buds We tried many batches of cold brew all with different sizes, roasts and regions of coffee. Our experience was that the higher quality coffee consistently tasted better than other cold-brewed coffees. But you’ll likely have to do your own testing to find out what you like better. Why I Make Cold-Brew Here are a few reasons why I love it. Extra Caffeine. Low bitterness. Quickly poured from the fridge first thing in the morning when I NEED my caffeine. Delicious chocolatey, earthy and nutty flavours. Refreshing in hot weather. Doesn’t require fancy equipment . Extra strong. Easier on the stomach – naturally low acid. This is My Brew Ratio My cold brew ratio is about 1:6 coffee to water and I find this to be perfect for my medium roast coffee from Peru . Some people go 1:4 or even 1:3 but because I grind my beans slightly finer, I find 1:6 to be perfect. If It’s Still Not Sweet Enough Before you add sugar to the cold brew, please try it without. Cold brew is generally less acidic and less bitter so it may actually taste sweeter than normal. If it’s still not sweet enough, you can make this easy simple syrup to add a drop or two of sweetness. Normal sugar will not dissolve properly into cold coffee. Simple syrup 100g water 100g white sugar Place in a pan, stir and bring to a boil. Let cool and place in a bottle so you can easily add it to your drinks. Keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Try these Other Drinks!

Drink with lots of ice. Prep Time 1 day Straining 5 minutes Total Time 1 day 5 minutes Servings 2 Liters Cost 6.50€ 500 g ground coffee (for filter coffee) ask your local café to grind for you unless you have a really really good grinder 3 L cold water preferably filtered Add cold water and ground coffee to the big jar and mix really well with the whisk. Leave the lid open for 10 minutes to let some CO2 out. (Natural CO2 gas is released from coffee when mixed with water and especially when the coffee is very fresh) Close lid and let sit at room temp for 20-24 hours. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and store in glass bottles in the fridge. Set it in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Serve over lots of ice and dilute with splash of milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or water because it's very strong. There will be some sediment from the coffee grinds that go through the strainer. You can filter this through a coffee filter again after but this will take a long time. I let it chill in the fridge overnight and the next day most of the sediment is at the bottom and that’s okay for me. Because cold brew coffee doesn’t use hot water you must take care to thoroughly clean the brewing jar, the whisk and the storing jars with hot soapy water before and after each use. Boiling water for regular coffee normally kills bacteria with its high temperature whereas cold water does not.

They also come with different flavours, which I find a little tacky as I’m not a fan of flavoured coffee. Still, the regular cold brew from them is a decent coffee with a fair price.

That must be a sign? This is the cheaper, more affordable option for anyone looking to make some cold brew without spending too much money. Cheaper coffees are not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to making cold brew so this is still a great option. It’s a Direct-trade, Columbian, dark-roasted coffee that comes pre-ground. Again, if you’re looking to use your fancy coffee grinder, then this isn’t for you. For others though, the pre-ground coffee may be a lot more convenient. It’s not made specifically for cold brew, but the company says it’s blended coarse and can be used for cold brew. It’s also got decent Amazon reviews and is a good entry-level choice.

[Check the price here](https://www.firedeptcoffee.com/collections/bourbon/products/salted-caramel-bourbon-infused-coffee) ## Brewing Hot Vs. Brewing Cold Hot brewed coffee will taste different from cold brewed coffee because different flavours are extracted at different temperatures. It’s true that cold brewed coffee will not extract as many flavours as hot brewed coffee simply because the temperature is not hot enough. This means that most cold brew tends to taste similar with common flavours of nuts, dark chocolate and brown sugar. The “problem” with cold brew is that the natural acidity from the beans doesn’t come through when brewing coffee cold. Coffee needs higher temperatures (like in normal brewed coffee) to extract the acidity from the beans. But not everyone enjoys acidic coffee and I personally find the low acidity to be a benefit from cold brew. The point is that you wouldn’t want to waste an expensive single-origin light-roasted, sour coffee on a cold-brewed process because you’d be throwing away half of its potential by not brewing it hot. ## Cold Brew Needs More Beans Cold brew not only takes longer to make, but it also needs more ground beans to make a cup of cold brew vs a cup of hot brewed coffee. This is the main reason why cold brew is normally the most expensive coffee drink at your local coffee shop. ![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cold-Brew-Coffee-6-683x1024.jpg) ![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20683%201024%22%3E%3C/svg%3E) ## Immersion Method Vs the Slow Drip Method There are actually a few ways to make cold brew. The first, and most popular method is the immersion method. Coarse ground coffee is soaked in cold or room temperature water and left to brew for anywhere from 12-48 hours. It’s the most popular method because anyone with a bucket and a strainer can do this. The second method, called the slow drip method was actually invented by the Dutch and has been around before the popularity of cold brew in North America. It requires less time (roughly 3-4 hours of brewing) and less beans, which is not surprising because the Dutch are known for their efficiency. The downside to this brewing is that the [machines](https://www.amazon.com/Yama-Glass-YAMCDM8SBK-Coffee-Technology/dp/B004EBUZ1A?dchild=1&keywords=dutch+cold+brew+maker&qid=1623839331&sr=8-7&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=b45b89b69e7d565ef7ee1ed4c0c7d3bd&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) are quite expensive, they take up a lot of space and they don’t yield much coffee. You may be able to find these in a small specialty coffee shop but you won’t find this online. The taste is stronger than regular cold brew and really, really good. If you get the chance to try some, go for it. #### Light Roast Vs. Dark Roast Lightly roasted beans tend to be more acidic, more desirable and therefore more expensive. Higher-priced coffees are praised for their acidity from the malic and citric acid that is formed through the roasting process. Dark roasts, on the other hand, are recommended for cold brew because they usually aline with the similar nutty, earthy and chocolatey flavours of cold brew. It’s even rumored that Starbucks uses a medium roast for their cold brew. Say what you want about Starbucks, but there’s no doubt they’ve spent a large amount of time and energy researching the best coffee for cold brew. #### What Grind Size is the Best? For our coffee, we use the same grind size for filter coffee – a medium grind. Most people will tell you that a coarse grind is best, but we found that the medium-sized grind was the sweet spot for the best extraction. Too fine of a grind and cold brew will taste bitter and over-extracted. While, too coarse of a grind and the coffee can taste unpleasantly acidic and of under-ripe, grassy flavours. It’s important to point out that light roasted coffees will need to be left longer in the water because they won’t extract as easily as dark roasts. My advice is start with coarse ground cold brew and see how you like it. Next time keep grinding smaller until you hit a point where the coffee starts to taste worse. This way you’ll find the perfect grind for your coffee. #### Do I Really Need that Fancy Grinder? Need is a big word, but you’ll notice a huge difference in quality with properly ground beans. In our tests, we noticed that our cheap grinder made a really inconsistent cold brew. It’s difficult to improve the coffee when you have inconsistent results because you don’t know whether to grind bigger or smaller. Better grinders allow for a more consistent grind size which allows you to more accurately control the extraction. We currently have our coffee ground at our local café because they have the expensive grinders which make the best coffee. It’s also free\! If you want to buy a [good grinder](https://www.amazon.com/Baratza-Encore-Conical-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B007F183LK?dchild=1&keywords=Baratza+Encore&qid=1623167435&s=photo&sr=1-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=eb65e92c7d3bd01698fa9f0852ed35ce&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) for making cold brew then you’ll probably want to go with a [burr-grinder](https://www.amazon.com/Baratza-Encore-Conical-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B007F183LK?dchild=1&keywords=Baratza+Encore&qid=1623167435&s=photo&sr=1-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=eb65e92c7d3bd01698fa9f0852ed35ce&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl). These are a little more pricey because they offer better results than the regular electric spice grinders which grind inconsistently and can also overheat your coffee. ## Blends Or Single Origins? Single-origin coffees come from one specific region whereas blended coffees are from a mix of regions. Just like wine, single origins are more sought after because you can taste the true flavour of that region and compare it with other regions. There’s also more traceability with single-origin coffee which is an important step for fair pay to the coffee farmers. Blending wine or coffee correctly is a skill and needs to be done carefully to make something delicious. A good coffee roaster has the skillset to make a wonderful coffee blend that’s great for hot or cold coffee. Both are great options, but single origin will almost always cost more. ## How to Drink Cold Brew Most coffee roasters want you to drink your coffee black because that’s how they drink it. They spend a great deal of effort on roasting the coffee at the right time and temperature to bring out the right flavours. So you can imagine how they feel when you drown their hard work in milk and sugar. It’s much more difficult to taste the small nuances of a carefully roasted coffee when you add milk and sugar because the flavours are masked. That doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy coffee with milk and sugar, but it means that you’ll probably want to spend less money on coffee if you plan to do that. Personally, I love my cold brew with a small splash of oat milk but I think it also tastes great on its own. ## Tips For the Best Cold Brew - Grind size must be uniform – this is really really important. As soon as I starting asking my local café to grind the beans to the right size the taste improved drastically. - Once strained, let the cold brew sit overnight in the fridge so all the sediment sinks to the bottom. This way you won’t get any sediment in your coffee. - Use a dark-medium roast for the best results. ## Follow Your Own Taste Buds We tried many batches of cold brew all with different sizes, roasts and regions of coffee. Our experience was that the higher quality coffee consistently tasted better than other cold-brewed coffees. But you’ll likely have to do your own testing to find out what you like better. ![Cold brew coffee with lots of crema at the top.](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cold-Brew-Coffee-5-683x1024.jpg) ![Cold brew coffee with lots of crema at the top.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20683%201024%22%3E%3C/svg%3E) ## Why I Make Cold-Brew Here are a few reasons why I love it. - Extra Caffeine. - Low bitterness. - Quickly poured from the fridge first thing in the morning when I NEED my caffeine. - Delicious chocolatey, earthy and nutty flavours. - Refreshing in hot weather. - Doesn’t require [fancy equipment](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C99TKL5/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=bdeglazed-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08C99TKL5&linkId=4e0314d954005c17c19e0fe54846f240). - Extra strong. - Easier on the stomach – naturally low acid. ## This is My Brew Ratio My cold brew ratio is about 1:6 coffee to water and I find this to be perfect for my [medium roast coffee from Peru](https://www.blanchedael.nl/peru-amazonas-organic). Some people go 1:4 or even 1:3 but because I grind my beans slightly finer, I find 1:6 to be perfect. ## If It’s Still Not Sweet Enough Before you add sugar to the cold brew, please try it without. Cold brew is generally less acidic and less bitter so it may actually taste sweeter than normal. If it’s still not sweet enough, you can make this easy simple syrup to add a drop or two of sweetness. Normal sugar will not dissolve properly into cold coffee. #### Simple syrup 100g water 100g white sugar Place in a pan, stir and bring to a boil. Let cool and place in a bottle so you can easily add it to your drinks. Keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. ## Try these Other Drinks\! - [How to Make the Perfect Filter Coffee](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/how-to-make-filter-coffee-perfect-every-time/) - [This Refreshing Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/bbq-bloody-mary-cocktail/) - [This Light and Creamy Oatmilk Eggnog](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/oat-milk-eggnog/) - [The Incredible Hulk Drink](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/the-incredible-hulk-drink/) - [This DELICIOUS and Creamy Pina Colada (Vegan)](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/an-easy-pina-colada-with-fresh-lime/) - [The Ultra Refreshing Limoncello Spritz](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/limoncello-spritz/) - [This Super Healthy Tropical Mango Smoothie](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/healthy-mango-smoothie/) - [The Easiest BBQ Bloody Mary Cocktail](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/bbq-bloody-mary-cocktail/) - [This Vodka and Watermelon Granita](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/vodka-watermelon-basil-granita/) ![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cold-Brew-Coffee-4-150x150.jpg) ![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20150%20150%22%3E%3C/svg%3E) [Print](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wprm_print/a-solid-recipe-for-cold-brew-coffee) [Pin](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbraisedanddeglazed.com%2Fthe-best-coffee-for-cold-brew-with-a-recipe%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fbraisedanddeglazed.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F12%2FCold-Brew-Coffee-4.jpg&description=This+recipe+takes+24+hours+and+can+last+up+to+4+weeks+in+the+fridge.+Drink+with+lots+of+ice.&is_video=false) 5 from 2 votes ## A Solid Recipe for Cold Brew Coffee This recipe takes 24 hours and can last up to 4 weeks in the fridge.

Leave the lid open for 10 minutes to let some CO2 out. (Natural CO2 gas is released from coffee when mixed with water and especially when the coffee is very fresh) ![Mixing the cold brew coffee with a whisk.](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cold-Brew-Coffee-3-scaled.jpg) ![Mixing the cold brew coffee with a whisk.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%202560%201707%22%3E%3C/svg%3E) - Close lid and let sit at room temp for 20-24 hours. - Strain through a fine mesh strainer and store in glass bottles in the fridge. ![Using a fine mesh strainer to strain the coffee.](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cold-Brew-Coffee-7-scaled.jpg) ![Using a fine mesh strainer to strain the coffee.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%202560%201706%22%3E%3C/svg%3E) - Set it in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Serve over lots of ice and dilute with splash of milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or water because it's very strong. ### Notes There will be some sediment from the coffee grinds that go through the strainer. You can filter this through a coffee filter again after but this will take a long time. I let it chill in the fridge overnight and the next day most of the sediment is at the bottom and that’s okay for me. Because cold brew coffee doesn’t use hot water you must take care to thoroughly clean the brewing jar, the whisk and the storing jars with hot soapy water before and after each use. Boiling water for regular coffee normally kills bacteria with its high temperature whereas cold water does not.

Readable Markdown	What’s the best coffee for cold brew? After many trials, it seems that a medium-dark roast coffee is the best option and I’ll explain why in this post. Plus, I’ve included my go-to cold brew recipe at the bottom. We drink a lot of cold brew in our house, (even during the cold winter months!) because it’s just so good. But it took a long period of testing grind sizes, roasts and ratios to get to a point where my girlfriend and I were both happy. When you go down the rabbit hole of coffee, you’ll find it can be as complicated as wine. But as long as you know the basics, making cold brew is not hard and it just takes a bit of time and practice. First, let’s pick a coffee… ![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cold-Brew-Coffee-4-683x1024.jpg) ## My Top Picks for the Best Coffee for Cold Brew This post contains Amazon Affiliate links to products I recommend and I may earn a small commission.

You can order the beans whole, or have them pre-ground at the optimal grind for cold brew. It’s a single origin, dark roast blend from Columbia with the usual nutty and dark chocolate tones that are present in cold brew.

They love cold brew so much, that they focus on roasting beans specifically for cold brew. It’s an organic, dark-roasted coffee but unlike the Stone Street Cold Brew, this is a blend and not a single origin. That’s probably why the price is slightly cheaper but it’s still a great choice. There’s no option for whole beans, so that may deter some people who want to grind their beans fresh. They also come with different flavours, which I find a little tacky as I’m not a fan of flavoured coffee. Still, the regular cold brew from them is a decent coffee with a fair price.

That must be a sign? This is the cheaper, more affordable option for anyone looking to make some cold brew without spending too much money. Cheaper coffees are not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to making cold brew so this is still a great option. It’s a Direct-trade, Columbian, dark-roasted coffee that comes pre-ground. Again, if you’re looking to use your fancy coffee grinder, then this isn’t for you. For others though, the pre-ground coffee may be a lot more convenient. It’s not made specifically for cold brew, but the company says it’s blended coarse and can be used for cold brew. It’s also got decent Amazon reviews and is a good entry-level choice.

But then again, I’m a sucker for anything with the words “salted caramel” beside it\! [Check the price here](https://www.firedeptcoffee.com/collections/bourbon/products/salted-caramel-bourbon-infused-coffee) ## Brewing Hot Vs. Brewing Cold Hot brewed coffee will taste different from cold brewed coffee because different flavours are extracted at different temperatures. It’s true that cold brewed coffee will not extract as many flavours as hot brewed coffee simply because the temperature is not hot enough. This means that most cold brew tends to taste similar with common flavours of nuts, dark chocolate and brown sugar. The “problem” with cold brew is that the natural acidity from the beans doesn’t come through when brewing coffee cold. Coffee needs higher temperatures (like in normal brewed coffee) to extract the acidity from the beans. But not everyone enjoys acidic coffee and I personally find the low acidity to be a benefit from cold brew. The point is that you wouldn’t want to waste an expensive single-origin light-roasted, sour coffee on a cold-brewed process because you’d be throwing away half of its potential by not brewing it hot. ## Cold Brew Needs More Beans Cold brew not only takes longer to make, but it also needs more ground beans to make a cup of cold brew vs a cup of hot brewed coffee. This is the main reason why cold brew is normally the most expensive coffee drink at your local coffee shop. ![A big jar of cold brew coffee.](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cold-Brew-Coffee-6-683x1024.jpg) ## Immersion Method Vs the Slow Drip Method There are actually a few ways to make cold brew. The first, and most popular method is the immersion method. Coarse ground coffee is soaked in cold or room temperature water and left to brew for anywhere from 12-48 hours. It’s the most popular method because anyone with a bucket and a strainer can do this. The second method, called the slow drip method was actually invented by the Dutch and has been around before the popularity of cold brew in North America. It requires less time (roughly 3-4 hours of brewing) and less beans, which is not surprising because the Dutch are known for their efficiency. The downside to this brewing is that the [machines](https://www.amazon.com/Yama-Glass-YAMCDM8SBK-Coffee-Technology/dp/B004EBUZ1A?dchild=1&keywords=dutch+cold+brew+maker&qid=1623839331&sr=8-7&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=b45b89b69e7d565ef7ee1ed4c0c7d3bd&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) are quite expensive, they take up a lot of space and they don’t yield much coffee. You may be able to find these in a small specialty coffee shop but you won’t find this online. The taste is stronger than regular cold brew and really, really good. If you get the chance to try some, go for it. #### Light Roast Vs. Dark Roast Lightly roasted beans tend to be more acidic, more desirable and therefore more expensive. Higher-priced coffees are praised for their acidity from the malic and citric acid that is formed through the roasting process. Dark roasts, on the other hand, are recommended for cold brew because they usually aline with the similar nutty, earthy and chocolatey flavours of cold brew. It’s even rumored that Starbucks uses a medium roast for their cold brew. Say what you want about Starbucks, but there’s no doubt they’ve spent a large amount of time and energy researching the best coffee for cold brew. #### What Grind Size is the Best? For our coffee, we use the same grind size for filter coffee – a medium grind. Most people will tell you that a coarse grind is best, but we found that the medium-sized grind was the sweet spot for the best extraction. Too fine of a grind and cold brew will taste bitter and over-extracted. While, too coarse of a grind and the coffee can taste unpleasantly acidic and of under-ripe, grassy flavours. It’s important to point out that light roasted coffees will need to be left longer in the water because they won’t extract as easily as dark roasts. My advice is start with coarse ground cold brew and see how you like it. Next time keep grinding smaller until you hit a point where the coffee starts to taste worse. This way you’ll find the perfect grind for your coffee. #### Do I Really Need that Fancy Grinder? Need is a big word, but you’ll notice a huge difference in quality with properly ground beans. In our tests, we noticed that our cheap grinder made a really inconsistent cold brew. It’s difficult to improve the coffee when you have inconsistent results because you don’t know whether to grind bigger or smaller. Better grinders allow for a more consistent grind size which allows you to more accurately control the extraction. We currently have our coffee ground at our local café because they have the expensive grinders which make the best coffee. It’s also free\! If you want to buy a [good grinder](https://www.amazon.com/Baratza-Encore-Conical-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B007F183LK?dchild=1&keywords=Baratza+Encore&qid=1623167435&s=photo&sr=1-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=eb65e92c7d3bd01698fa9f0852ed35ce&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) for making cold brew then you’ll probably want to go with a [burr-grinder](https://www.amazon.com/Baratza-Encore-Conical-Coffee-Grinder/dp/B007F183LK?dchild=1&keywords=Baratza+Encore&qid=1623167435&s=photo&sr=1-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=eb65e92c7d3bd01698fa9f0852ed35ce&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl). These are a little more pricey because they offer better results than the regular electric spice grinders which grind inconsistently and can also overheat your coffee. ## Blends Or Single Origins? Single-origin coffees come from one specific region whereas blended coffees are from a mix of regions. Just like wine, single origins are more sought after because you can taste the true flavour of that region and compare it with other regions. There’s also more traceability with single-origin coffee which is an important step for fair pay to the coffee farmers. Blending wine or coffee correctly is a skill and needs to be done carefully to make something delicious. A good coffee roaster has the skillset to make a wonderful coffee blend that’s great for hot or cold coffee. Both are great options, but single origin will almost always cost more. ## How to Drink Cold Brew Most coffee roasters want you to drink your coffee black because that’s how they drink it. They spend a great deal of effort on roasting the coffee at the right time and temperature to bring out the right flavours. So you can imagine how they feel when you drown their hard work in milk and sugar. It’s much more difficult to taste the small nuances of a carefully roasted coffee when you add milk and sugar because the flavours are masked. That doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy coffee with milk and sugar, but it means that you’ll probably want to spend less money on coffee if you plan to do that. Personally, I love my cold brew with a small splash of oat milk but I think it also tastes great on its own. ## Tips For the Best Cold Brew - Grind size must be uniform – this is really really important. As soon as I starting asking my local café to grind the beans to the right size the taste improved drastically. - Once strained, let the cold brew sit overnight in the fridge so all the sediment sinks to the bottom. This way you won’t get any sediment in your coffee. - Use a dark-medium roast for the best results. ## Follow Your Own Taste Buds We tried many batches of cold brew all with different sizes, roasts and regions of coffee. Our experience was that the higher quality coffee consistently tasted better than other cold-brewed coffees. But you’ll likely have to do your own testing to find out what you like better. ![Cold brew coffee with lots of crema at the top.](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cold-Brew-Coffee-5-683x1024.jpg) ## Why I Make Cold-Brew Here are a few reasons why I love it. - Extra Caffeine. - Low bitterness. - Quickly poured from the fridge first thing in the morning when I NEED my caffeine. - Delicious chocolatey, earthy and nutty flavours. - Refreshing in hot weather. - Doesn’t require [fancy equipment](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C99TKL5/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=bdeglazed-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08C99TKL5&linkId=4e0314d954005c17c19e0fe54846f240). - Extra strong. - Easier on the stomach – naturally low acid. ## This is My Brew Ratio My cold brew ratio is about 1:6 coffee to water and I find this to be perfect for my [medium roast coffee from Peru](https://www.blanchedael.nl/peru-amazonas-organic). Some people go 1:4 or even 1:3 but because I grind my beans slightly finer, I find 1:6 to be perfect. ## If It’s Still Not Sweet Enough Before you add sugar to the cold brew, please try it without. Cold brew is generally less acidic and less bitter so it may actually taste sweeter than normal. If it’s still not sweet enough, you can make this easy simple syrup to add a drop or two of sweetness. Normal sugar will not dissolve properly into cold coffee. #### Simple syrup 100g water 100g white sugar Place in a pan, stir and bring to a boil. Let cool and place in a bottle so you can easily add it to your drinks. Keep in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. ## Try these Other Drinks\! - [How to Make the Perfect Filter Coffee](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/how-to-make-filter-coffee-perfect-every-time/) - [This Refreshing Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/bbq-bloody-mary-cocktail/) - [This Light and Creamy Oatmilk Eggnog](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/oat-milk-eggnog/) - [The Incredible Hulk Drink](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/the-incredible-hulk-drink/) - [This DELICIOUS and Creamy Pina Colada (Vegan)](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/an-easy-pina-colada-with-fresh-lime/) - [The Ultra Refreshing Limoncello Spritz](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/limoncello-spritz/) - [This Super Healthy Tropical Mango Smoothie](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/healthy-mango-smoothie/) - [The Easiest BBQ Bloody Mary Cocktail](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/bbq-bloody-mary-cocktail/) - [This Vodka and Watermelon Granita](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/vodka-watermelon-basil-granita/) ## A Solid Recipe for Cold Brew Coffee This recipe takes 24 hours and can last up to 4 weeks in the fridge. Drink with lots of ice. Prep Time 1 day Straining 5 minutes Total Time 1 day 5 minutes Servings 2 Liters Cost 6\.50€ - 500 g ground coffee (for filter coffee) ask your local café to grind for you unless you have a really really good grinder - 3 L cold water preferably filtered - Add cold water and ground coffee to the big jar and mix really well with the whisk. Leave the lid open for 10 minutes to let some CO2 out. (Natural CO2 gas is released from coffee when mixed with water and especially when the coffee is very fresh) ![Mixing the cold brew coffee with a whisk.](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cold-Brew-Coffee-3-scaled.jpg) - Close lid and let sit at room temp for 20-24 hours. - Strain through a fine mesh strainer and store in glass bottles in the fridge. ![Using a fine mesh strainer to strain the coffee.](https://braisedanddeglazed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Cold-Brew-Coffee-7-scaled.jpg) - Set it in the fridge for up to 4 weeks. Serve over lots of ice and dilute with splash of milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or water because it's very strong. There will be some sediment from the coffee grinds that go through the strainer. You can filter this through a coffee filter again after but this will take a long time. I let it chill in the fridge overnight and the next day most of the sediment is at the bottom and that’s okay for me. Because cold brew coffee doesn’t use hot water you must take care to thoroughly clean the brewing jar, the whisk and the storing jars with hot soapy water before and after each use. Boiling water for regular coffee normally kills bacteria with its high temperature whereas cold water does not. *Sources – [The World Atlas of Coffee by James Hoffman](https://www.amazon.com/World-Atlas-Coffee-Explored-Explained/dp/0228100941?dchild=1&keywords=world+coffee+atlas+james+hoffman&qid=1623843317&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=9a80cc99acaf417c51a970ddeeab23d9&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl), [Coffee Sapiens by Ferran Adrià and Lavazza](https://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Sapiens-Innovation-through-understanding/dp/1838660119?dchild=1&keywords=coffee+sapiens&qid=1623843414&sr=8-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=bdeglazed-20&linkId=b1840b81c516d1f9401830c604e2dea8&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)* ## How About Some Other Recipes?
