How to make Cold Brew Coffee

Cold Brew Coffee is not like Iced Coffee because it is not made from a hot liquid but rather by cold water that is steeped with coffee for 12 hours and then enjoyed cold.

We found that for a 20oz bottle like this one from Cornucopia Brands that 1/3 cup of coarsely ground coffee works best. For this bottle you unscrew the bottom of the bottle, take the screen off and fill with coffee, then attach screen and screw back on. Then you are going to fill the bottle from the top opening with cold water.

Let sit at room temperature for 12 hours or overnight for best results. In the morning add whatever you would like for flavoring and you are ready to enjoy Cold Brew Coffee. Even though this does take longer you have a drink that is not diluted by ice cubes, and has a low acidity count. I think you will really enjoy this beverage.

This is the first and only item I have seen that makes a single serving of cold brew coffee, most recipes and products I have seen make enough to be a concentrate, kept in the fridge and then the concentrate is mixed with plain cold water for drinks to enjoy for several days or weeks depending on how often you enjoy coffee.

This also comes with a nice cozy to keep the glass a little safer from breaking which is a real nice extra if you ask me.


You can find the 20oz Cold Brew Coffee Maker on Amazon.

Grinding you Beans

Some people like to grind their own beans be it by manual method or with an electric grinder. We don't have an electric grinder but we do have a few manual grinders. My husband love the simplicity of having already ground coffee but he enjoys the taste of fresh ground coffee even more.

This coffee grinder is both easy to put together and use which is a plus when someone who loves coffee needs a cup quick.

Yes it will take a while to grind your beans but the taste will be worth it. At least that is what my husband says. I am more of a tea and cocoa drinker myself.



You can find this grinder on Amazon.
