Introduction to Cold Brew Coffee and Recipes
Using Your KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker
Making Cold Brewed Coffee
The classic cold brew coffee brewing method uses coarsely ground coffee steeped in cold water for 12-24 hours. This no-heat brew method produces a smooth, balanced flavor that's less bitter. The KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker makes roughly 28 oz (840 mL) of coffee concentrate. To serve your cold brew beverage, we recommend using a 1:3 coffee to water/milk ratio. This means you add 1 part coffee concentrate to 3 parts water or milk.
For best results, use coarsely ground coffee as shown below:
| Recipes Using Coffee Concentrate | ||
|---|---|---|
|
2 oz (60 mL) coffee concentrate |
+ | Cold coffee: 6 oz (180 mL) cold water or milk, add ice/sweeteners to taste |
| + | Hot coffee: 6 oz (180 mL) hot water, add milk/sweeteners to taste | |
Adjust the amount of coffee concentrate to achieve the desired taste.
Making Cold Brewed Tea
The Cold Brew Coffee Maker can also be used to make tea concentrate (approximately 32-34 oz [960-1020 mL]). Cold-brewed tea is steeped in cold water for 6-12 hours. To serve your tea beverage, we recommend using a 1:7 tea-to-water ratio. This means you add 1 part tea concentrate to 7 parts water.
Enjoy your cold brew tea the way you like by mixing concentrate with ice, water, milk, or sweeteners.
TIP: The longer you steep and the more tea you use, the more bitter the tea will become.
