HOW TO: MAKE COLD BREW AT HOME

A great cold brew coffee is smooth, sweet and refreshing. You can enjoy this easy-to-prep café favourite at home all summer long.

 

THE TOOLS

+ cold brew jug (we used @hario_asia_official mizudashi)
+ your favourite Goliath Coffee Roasters blend or single origin, coarsely ground
+ chilled, filtered water
+ set of scales

LET’S BREW THIS

Using your cold brew jug, place ground coffee into the mesh filter and pour water into the brewer ensuring coffee is submerged.
We recommend 60-65 grams of coffee per litre of water.
Stir gently with a spoon ensuring all the grounds have been saturated with the water then place the lid on the jug.
Let it steep in your fridge for 18-24 hours.
When brew is ready, lift out the mesh filter, place lid back on jug. Store in the fridge.

FRENCH PRESS FRIENDS
Good news is that the grind setting for Cold Brew and French Press are one and the same.
You can use your French press or plunger to brew cold brew coffee.
After steeping in the fridge for 18-24 hours, just break the crust, plunge and pour.

COFFEE ON TAP… KINDA
Cold brew keeps for about two weeks in the fridge when stored in an air tight container or jug.
That means it’s always ready to drink straight up, on ice, with a splash of milk, with orange juice or in your favourite cocktail.
