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.

(16,834 posts)cold brew is finished. I don't like the idea of cold coffee. I drink iced tea, but my coffee must be hot.

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

(37,152 posts)...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.

(46,179 posts)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.

(37,305 posts)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.
