STEP 1

Add coarse ground coffee

Use 4 tbsp (22 g) of grounds for every cup (6 fl oz) of water.

As the coffee grounds are in contact with water for a longer time, this brewing method calls for a coarse grind.

STEP 7

Add water, ice & you’re good to go

Pour one part concentrate with one part water into a glass with fresh ice, and enjoy your coffee at home!

Adjust the flavour of your cup to your preferred taste by adding more or less water. Give your coffee press cold brew a twist by serving it with a touch of cream, coconut milk or seltzer.

QUICK TIPS

Don’t have a coffee press? You can use any container for cold brewing. To separate the coffee grounds, carefully pour the coffee through a fine sieve or coffee filter.

Have some leftover cold brew? Freeze it into ice cubes for a ready-made treat on a hot day.
