How to prepare Cold Brew?

Preparation guides

Cold brew coffee has its roots in Japan, where it became popular centuries ago. This method involves steeping ground coffee in cold water for an extended period, typically between 12 and 24 hours, resulting in a smooth, less acidic, and naturally sweet beverage.

What do you need to prepare it correctly?

When we make cold brew, we typically make larger quantities than with other brewing methods. So, we're suggesting a recipe for one liter of cold brew.

Recipe and equipment:

Amount of coffee

100 grams (Use whatever coffee you prefer, depending on your taste. Our suggestion would be to choose coffee profiles you like in filter brews.) If it's labeled "Cold Brew," it's one of our favorites.

Grinding

28 clicks of Commander (medium/coarse grind)

Water

1,200gr. at room temperature.

Composition of water

2 parts of Lanjarón for 1 part of Bezoya.

A mesh or silk. Although you can soak it directly in water and then filter it with a paper filter or other material.
A glass container (preferably with a lid)
Let it rest for 16/18 hours and up to 24 (in the refrigerator).

How to make Cold Brew:

We grind the coffee with a coarse grind (28 clicks of Commander).
We put the coffee directly into the mesh and then place the mesh into the glass container.
We pour the water into the container through the mesh with the coffee.
We stir gently to saturate all the coffee and we will make sure that all the coffee is well wet.
We cover the container and let it rest for 16/18 hours in the refrigerator (be careful of strong odors!).
After this resting time, remove the mesh with the coffee and it's ready. You can lightly drain the coffee from the mesh.
As an extra step, you can re-filter it through a V60, Kalita, or similar paper filter for a cleaner, clearer result.
Keep it refrigerated.
Serve it over ice in your favorite glass and relax, or fill your bottle and hit the streets with that extra caffeine kick!

EXTRA TIP:

If you add ice, the composition of the water in the ice will affect the flavor of your drink. It's better to make your own ice with the same composition of water, or even make ice with Cold Brew :).
