The Ultimate Guide to French Press Cold Brew Coffee
This is an easy method for making Daymaker cold brew coffee at home using a French press.
Cold brewing coffee results in a super smooth and rich tasting coffee drink that's low acid. This is especially true when you use a superior quality coffee like Daymaker Coffee Cold Brew that is specifically roasted and blended to taste fantastic when cold brewed.
Here's what you'll need:
- Daymaker Coffee Roasters Cold Brew blend - whole bean or ground
- A coffee grinder
- A French press
- Cold water
Steps:
- Grind the coffee to a course grind.
- Fill the French press with cold water, almost to the top.
- Add the correct ratio of course ground coffee to the amount of water in the French press and then stir to wet all the grinds.
- Put the lid on the French press and let it steep in a fridge for 18-22 hours.
- Next, slowly press down the plunger. It's best to then pour the coffee into a separate jug to keep in the fridge.
- Rinse out the French press for next time.
To Drink:
- Pour the chilled cold brew coffee over ice and if you like you can sweeten it and/or add dairy or non-dairy.
- Stir and ENJOY!
Coffee to Water Ratio:
For a ready-to-drink strength, you can aim to use 14–15 ml of water for each gram of coffee used. For a 750ml French press, add ~55g of coffee.
