COLD
BREW
Ultra-smooth, naturally sweet, and perfect for hot days. Master the art of cold extraction.
Cold brew isn't just iced coffee. It's an entirely different extraction method that produces a concentrate with up to 67% less acidity than hot-brewed coffee. The result? A smooth, naturally sweet beverage that's gentle on your stomach and big on flavour.
The magic of cold brew lies in patience. Without heat to speed extraction, you rely on time — 12 to 24 hours of slow, gentle steeping that extracts sugars and caffeine while leaving behind much of the bitterness and acidity.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
CONTAINER
A large jar, pitcher, or dedicated cold brew maker. Needs to hold at least 1 litre.
FILTER
Cheesecloth, nut milk bag, or fine mesh sieve. Paper filters work for extra clarity.
GRINDER
Set to extra coarse — coarser than French press. Think breadcrumbs or raw sugar.
TIME & SPACE
12-24 hours and room in your fridge (or a cool dark counter).
"COLD BREW EXTRACTS PATIENCE INTO EVERY SIP. THE LONGER YOU WAIT, THE SWEETER THE REWARD."
THE CONCENTRATE RECIPE
MAKES ~750ml CONCENTRATE
STEP BY STEP
GRIND COARSE
Grind 100g of coffee to an extra coarse setting. The grounds should look like raw sugar or coarse breadcrumbs.
COMBINE & STIR
Add grounds to your container, pour in 800g of cold or room temperature water. Stir well to ensure all grounds are saturated.
STEEP
Cover and place in fridge for 18 hours. Counter-top steeping (room temp) takes 12-14 hours and produces a brighter result.
FILTER
Strain through a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a paper filter. Don't squeeze — let gravity do the work.
DILUTE & SERVE
Mix 1:1 with water or milk over ice. Adjust ratio to taste. Concentrate keeps 2 weeks refrigerated.
Pro tip: Try cold brew with oat milk and a splash of vanilla syrup for a café-style treat. Or use it as a base for coffee cocktails!
