Cold Brew FAQ's

What is Cold Brew Coffee and How is it Different from Iced Coffee?

Cold brew coffee is coarsely ground coffee steeped in cold water for 12-24 hours. Unlike iced coffee which is hot coffee poured over ice, there is no heat applied during the cold brew method. Cold-brewed coffee produces a smooth, balanced flavor that's less acidic and less bitter than regular coffee.

How Many Servings of Coffee can be Made?

Each brew makes up to 28 ounces* of coffee concentrate. We recommend a 1 to 3 coffee-to-water ratio. So, to make one 8-ounce serving, take 2 ounces of cold brew concentrate and simply add 6 ounces of water or milk.

*Servings may vary based on coffee or tea type.

Can Cold Brew Coffee or Tea be Heated if I Prefer it Hot?

Yes. Combine cold brew concentrate with hot water using the recipe above. Adjust the amount of concentrate for the desired taste.

Can I Make Different Types of Beverages With the Cold Brew Coffee Maker?

Yes. The reusable stainless steel steeper allows you to cold brew coffee or tea.

What Grind Setting Do I Use When Making Cold Brew Coffee?
