Meet the current obsession amongst all the coffee-drinkers in my family, you guys. Soon to be yours.
Today Iâm going to show you how to make the most incredible cold brew from the comfort of your own home!
No need to to shell out $5 for your coffee fix anymore! Weâre making it budget-friendly, completely overnight, and so much better right in your own kitchen.
Props to Jason for inspiring this cold brew, btw. He convinced me to give it a try so I did just cause Iâm always down for a new coffee love.
Spoiler: we both fell hard and fast in love with it. Itâs so simple, yet about the most life-changing coffee youâll ever make.
This Overnight Cold Brew Coffee featuresâŠ
An incredibly rich, smooth, and strong
coffee flavor
NO fancy equipment required
â just a large mason jar and a fine-mesh sieve
Nearly hands-off prep!
5 minute prep time and then let the fridge take care of the rest
A blank canvas for
so many delicious iced coffee creations!
Making the Cold Brew
(scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe!)
What You Will Need
2 mason jars
(or two large pitchers or containers)
A fine-mesh sieve
Coffee grounds
Coffee filters or cheesecloth
Choosing Your Coffee
While you can certainly splurge and go for a higher quality coffee, we have found that cheap coffee such as Maxwell House or Folgers works perfectly fine for this recipe.
Because the grounds soak for so long in the water, they cut nearly all of the bitterness you usually find in cheap coffee and makes it unbelievably smooth and rich in flavor.
Best Type of Grind
Coarsely-ground coffee works best for cold brew.
You can buy beans coarsely ground or grind your own on the coarse setting using your own grinder or a grocery store grinder.
We recommend grinding your own beans for the freshest coffee flavor, however, it certainly doesnât make or break your cold brew!
Ways to Enjoy Coffee
Black over ice
Mixed with half and half or heavy cream
With a few splashes of your favorite creamer
Mixed with coffee syrups + cream
This coffee recipe is seriously so unbelievably spot-on identical to the stuff you buy at coffee shops, youâll wonder why you havenât been making it at home sooner!
Perfectly smooth, an incredibly rich coffee flavor, and a blank canvas for any iced coffee creation you can dream up.
Make more of this cold brew than you think youâll drink in a week cause I guarantee youâll drink most of it within a few days!
Coffee pairs well withâŠ.more coffee! Try these treats alongside a cup. â„

*I recommend freshly grinding your own beans for the richest flavor. You can do this in most major grocery stores or use your own grinder. You donât need to buy fancy expensive beans either!

coarse grind of beans.
You can buy beans ground coarsely ground or grind your own on the coarse setting.

So does this make espresso strength coffee? or regular strength? How would you serve it? Straight from the jar or one part coffee and add one or more parts water? I like strong and flavorful coffee, but I usually donât drink straight espresso.

This cold-brew coffee is about the strength of espresso, but because of the long overnight brew time itâs extremely smooth and non-bitter which makes it great for drinking straight on its own if you like strong coffee. If you like cream or milk in your coffee, Iâd recommend just adding that to taste. đ

This is surely a keeper recipe for us coffee lovers! I was brewing mine all night and when I left my room at dawn to go get some water, I saw it on the counter and couldnât help myself. Trust me, I grabbed it on the spot and couldnât help downing it just right there! I must admit that it is delicious and Iâm sure I wonât be spending outside anymore\!

Canât wait to give it a try. I like to take cold brew camping. Itâs so concentrated that you can even add hot water and a little campfire heat to quickly turn it into a regular coffee.

Hereâs two quick thoughts about cold brew.
Cold brew is well known for making super smooth (non-bitter) and naturally sweet coffee. It helps if you start out with beans that are grown to be super smooth. Additionally, the beans shouldnât be over roasted. If the beans are burnt, thereâs little sense in brewing via cold brew.
The best way to find super smooth tasting beans is to just search the internet for âSmoothest Coffee Beansâ. There are a number of good choices there.

Hi Sarah â I would recommend using water for cold brewing. You can add milk to individual servings afterwards\!

But lattes are just coffee and frothed milk?? They are by nature âwatered downâ by your own definition. Adding milk afterwards will still leave you with a product thatâs stronger than a latte

The recipe calls for a 2 quart jar, but only 4 cups of water.
Is this correct?

Yes, thatâs correct! Using a 2-quart jar or container leaves enough room for the coffee grounds.

\**This post was updated with new photos 3/31/21\**
Meet the current obsession amongst all the coffee-drinkers in my family, you guys. Soon to be yours.
Today Iâm going to show you how to make the most incredible cold brew from the comfort of your own home\!
No need to to shell out \$5 for your coffee fix anymore! Weâre making it budget-friendly, completely overnight, and so much better right in your own kitchen.

Props to Jason for inspiring this cold brew, btw. He convinced me to give it a try so I did just cause Iâm always down for a new coffee love.
Spoiler: we both fell hard and fast in love with it. Itâs so simple, yet about the most life-changing coffee youâll ever make.
### **This Overnight Cold Brew Coffee featuresâŠ**
- An incredibly rich, smooth, and strong **coffee flavor**
- **NO fancy equipment required** â just a large mason jar and a fine-mesh sieve
- **Nearly hands-off prep\!** 5 minute prep time and then let the fridge take care of the rest
- A blank canvas for **so many delicious iced coffee creations\!**

## **Making the Cold Brew**
(scroll to the bottom of the post for the full recipe!)
### **What You Will Need**
- **2 mason jars** (or two large pitchers or containers)
- **A fine-mesh sieve**
- **Coffee grounds**
- **Coffee filters or cheesecloth**
### **Choosing Your Coffee**
While you can certainly splurge and go for a higher quality coffee, we have found that cheap coffee such as Maxwell House or Folgers works perfectly fine for this recipe.
Because the grounds soak for so long in the water, they cut nearly all of the bitterness you usually find in cheap coffee and makes it unbelievably smooth and rich in flavor.

### **Best Type of Grind**
**Coarsely-ground coffee works best for cold brew.** You can buy beans coarsely ground or grind your own on the coarse setting using your own grinder or a grocery store grinder.
We recommend grinding your own beans for the freshest coffee flavor, however, it certainly doesnât make or break your cold brew\!

### **Ways to Enjoy Coffee**
- Black over ice
- Mixed with half and half or heavy cream
- With a few splashes of your favorite creamer
- Mixed with coffee syrups + cream

This coffee recipe is seriously so unbelievably spot-on identical to the stuff you buy at coffee shops, youâll wonder why you havenât been making it at home sooner\!
Perfectly smooth, an incredibly rich coffee flavor, and a blank canvas for any iced coffee creation you can dream up.
Make more of this cold brew than you think youâll drink in a week cause I guarantee youâll drink most of it within a few days\!

Coffee pairs well withâŠ.more coffee! Try these treats alongside a cup. â„
