You're going to need like four things, two of which you need to probably buy from a store. The first thing you need is coffee. Get an espresso roast.



Next you're going to need one of these. They go for like ten bucks, and are essentially a glorified reusable tea bag. Pick one up in a Whole Foods or just order one here.



Put four and a half ounces of the coffee into the nut milk bag and cinch it closed.



Put the nut milk bag into the bottom of a two quart pitcher and fill it to the brim with water.

1. "Nut milk bag" sounds dirty.

Maybe it's just me.

2. Sure does ... n/t

[Wilms]

3. To me it sounds like a republican refreshment.

4. ...

8. It's OK as long as you use a wide stance. nt

5. I wonder if it would be okay to microwave a cup at a time after the

cold brew is finished. I don't like the idea of cold coffee. I drink iced tea, but my coffee must be hot.

[xchrom]

6. yes. and still way less acid apparently. they intend for you to heat it. nt

[PCIntern]

7. You can't DO THAT!!!!!

It will cause a rift in the space-time continuum. Untold horrors might ensue.

At least, that is what my Starbucks-addicted friend would say...

10. Iced-coffee and cold-brewing are not the same thing...

...though of course, you can make iced coffee with a cold-brew.

For hot coffee the idea is to use cold-brewing to make a concentrate, which can then be mixed with hot water to get the cold-brewed hot coffee.

Do a search on "cold brew coffee served hot" and you'll get a few million results to look into it more, and see if it's worth your while to try it.

9. I like my French PRess...

One of the best wedding gift we got.

17. Me too. And freshly ground home roasted beans.

Ambrosia.

[Bluenorthwest]

11. Are you putting whole beans into the sack?

How long should it 'brew' in the pitcher? Does it keep well for another day if there are left overs?

[xchrom]

13. espresso grind. 11 hours. and it's supposed to keep for a long time, yay! nt

[Bluenorthwest]

14. I'm so bookmarking this. I buy cold brew cups sometimes that are very nice and I've always

wanted to try it at home.....thanks.

15. good coffee isn't cheap -- so i like this idea -- especially if it's good brewed coffee

i can keep longer.

[surrealAmerican]

12. How finely do grind the coffee?

... also, if you cross post this in cooking and baking, it will probably stay around longer.

[LWolf]

16. That works.

I have one of these:



I love my cold-brewed coffee, iced or heated or mixed into other things.

It takes a coarse grind. As a matter of fact, I'm starting another batch this morning.

I tend to leave mine for 24-36 hours, quite a bit longer than the 12 hours suggested.

18. Hey you didn't add the part of the piece on why cold brew...

The Business Insider office recently got into cold brew coffee and the simple recipe will help you make some of the best, most aromatic and caffeinated joe you've ever tasted.

Never heard of cold brew coffee? It's basically what you're getting out of your office coffee contraption, only the caffeine is weaponized and it doesn't taste like crap. It's also easier, cheaper, and remarkably tasty. So it's actually nothing like what you're getting out your office coffee contraption.

I think I may need to try this.

19. Why bother with the nut-milk bag?

Why not just pour the coffee into the water and strain it out aftewards?
