I tried a variation on this method, which is brilliant! Don't get me wrong, but I began to think about how to maximize the caffeine content, so I roughly ground a top notch coffee bean, pleced the grind in a tall mason jar or equivalent and then added near boiling water to the 3/4 mark. I then capped it off. A vacuum formed, which sealed it. After a week I strained off the coffee. WOW!!!! What a blast!!! Woo hoo. Felt like when I used to do a few lines, which I don't anymore. I gave that up 20 years ago, but this reminded me of it!!! To maximize the caffeine content you need to steep the grounds in hot water. I tell you true, this was not bitter or sour. It packed a real, tasty punch.

Felt filter discs are part of the Toddy product. They are round and fit into the brewer bottom space.

hi! just a question. if you're using cold brew, are you measuring it like per shot (like espresso) or it has different measurement if you're using it for iced coffee?

@TheJeru117 7 ай бұрын

Hey, thanks for the video. I just began the process of trying this at home. I bought a 3/4 gallon container that came with a very fine mesh filter filled it with 80% of a coffee bag after being ground at home and it’s so weak compared to the stuff I would get at a coffee shop what am I doing wrong?

I just got an electric burr grinder. I use to use a blade grinder. I set the burr grinder to coarsest setting which is french press. The grind didn't look very coarse. Did I get the wrong grinder?

@lifeismusicparnadonkers 9 ай бұрын

Whats the diffrents between a frence press and a cold brew what you do and witch is better? I dind,t get my mr iced coffee maker and my ninja coffee bar is death so i need an solution for my ice coffee 😊 i grind my own coffee beans but i don,t know if its the good type of grind. I grind them realy fine in my coffee/ spices grinder

Do we have to let the ground coffee + water mixture sit for 16 hrs at room temperature? Or do we refrigerate it and then wait for 16 hrs?

@NavaBromberger 4 ай бұрын

Since it comes out a concentrate, how do you dilute? Say I normally drink 12 oz, how much cold brew would I use?

@pizzammich 2 жыл бұрын

is it ok to use french press container for cold brew or will it affect the taste since it is not entirely sealed?

@kakaisthecat 2 жыл бұрын

Just use wrap to seal it. It will come out just fine. You can literally use anything. Grind beans + water + container + filter = cold brew! I also used water bottle plus fine mesh strainer. Be creative and have fun!

When the coffee is "brewing" are you leaving it at room temp outside of the fridge? Or are you leaving it in the fridge for those 16-24 hours?

@HomeGroundsCoffee Жыл бұрын

Just at room temp!

@heretobrew Жыл бұрын

You get different results from either. If you brew cold brew in warmer or colder climates, or with room temperature or colder water, you will get different results. If I leave my cold brew out for the whole brew process, I would usually extract it about an hour earlier (~14 hours) because I know the temperature has sped up the process. It tends to intensify flavours somewhat, but it can also muddy the complexity.

Am i right in thinking I can coldbrew at room tempt, but then store it in the fridge? How should cold brew typically be served? Over ice? Have hot water added to it? Or is it just very much uo to the consumer on how to serve it?

@mike2ram 10 ай бұрын

Yes, room tempt is fine and typically over ice

What do you mean by 1:5 ratio? How would that translate to grams / liter for example?

@colin7799 29 күн бұрын

say 100 grams of coffee to 500 grams of water

@royalecrafts6252 17 күн бұрын

That would mean 20% coffee based on your 100% water, 1 : 5 100 gm coffee : 500 gm water 20% coffee : 100% water 20% coffee : 80% water depends if you do the calculation based on water or based on total volume of grams in your vessel

Some people say to mix the coffee and water before you let it sit? Others say layer coffee and water and don't mix? Which is it and does it matter?

@HomeGroundsCoffee Жыл бұрын

Definitely mix it! You want all the coffee to be evenly saturated before letting it sit.

@LilyWillow22 Жыл бұрын

…have gone with the layering technique without mixing it ..found if mixed it will clog at the end and not drain properly

@heretobrew Жыл бұрын

I don't understand the assumption that cold brew has to be for making concentrate? I make cold brew in my Hario Jug, approximately 78g/1.1L of water, and it makes 4 beautiful serves of coffee at a time.

If you live in a country with better tap water than the US, like Sweden that I do, do you still need filtered water? 🤔

You need to filter any water that is going through miles of years old contaminated pipes made from questionable materials before it gets to your house, Einstein. Your water has so many SSRIs and other medication and birth control in it like everyone else’s.

"Use good quality water". Ok, you say to use bottled water but don't explain why. What makes bottled water the better option? Also you say it's a 1 to five ratio, is that by volume or by weight?

Not True.. You can use any grind you want! Just adjust your soak times... I always use the coffee that's left over at the bottom of my storage container.. I use Decaf with one scoop of regular coffee! Caffeine raises my Glucose to by 25%

I noticed you weren't able to actually explain WHY you want the coffee ground more course. Only that it needs to be. It was kind of like listening to a politician explain why he needs more of your money. He says a lot of things, never once actually explaining what exactly happens to your money; but only that you must pay up. 🤣
