]]>Choose Your Beans Wisely
The foundation of any great coffee starts with high-quality beans. For cold brew, opt for medium to dark roasts as they tend to yield a smoother, sweeter flavor profile that’s perfect for cold extraction.
The Right Grind
A coarse grind is ideal because it allows for a slow and even extraction, which is essential for developing depth and avoiding bitterness.
Ratio Matters
A good starting point is a 1:8 ratio of coffee to water. This can be adjusted based on personal preference for stronger or milder brews. Using too little coffee can result in a weak, diluted taste, while too much can make it overly strong and bitter.
Patience Pays Off
Finally, cold brew requires time to reach its full potential. A steeping time of 12 to 24 hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator is best. You can start with 16 hours and experiment from there.

]]>While the cold winter months of the year are more appropriate for hot coffee drinking, the warmer months of the year are a great time for cold brew coffee to be produced and enjoyed.
. . . . . . #yescoffee #beachcoffee #open #flaglerbeachcoffee #icedlatte #coldbrew #icedcoffee #espresso #beachcoffeeHot coffee is a great antidote to cold mornings, helping people get comfortable and wake up in spots all over the planet. However, on a warm spring afternoon in the sun, wouldn’t it be great if you had a different, more refreshing option?
This is where cold brew comes into play. Brewed using a special method that involves placing large quantities of coarsely-ground coffee into cold water and then filtering it out, this drink is traditionally served as it is brewed: cold.
Pop a couple of ice cubes in a glass of cold brew and a splash of milk and sugar (if you please), and you have one of my favorite warm-weather pick-me-ups. Cold brew provides the coffee boost that you want without weighing you down with the heat of the traditional beverage on a warm day.

]]>Cold brew coffee is a different way to get your caffeine fix this summer. The differences between cold brew and regular coffee is that you use cold water to brew the coffee instead of hot, and it is significantly less acidic, making it much easier for your stomach to handle. Even though you have to wait some time until the coffee is done, it’s very hands-off and stays good in your fridge for at least a week! Try it out!

As you would for normal coffee, all you need are coffee grounds and water. The difference is that you’ll be using cold water, and the coffee grounds should be ground from beans at home, because you need a slightly bigger ground for cold brew. This will come in handy later in the process when you strain out the grounds.
Method
- Combine 1 gallon of water with 100 grams of grounds in a large container
- Whisk the mixture together
- Leave it in the fridge for 24 hours
- Use a cheesecloth and strain the coffee into another container. Depending on how small your grounds are, you might have to do this more than once.
- For the final strain, put a paper towel over a mesh strainer to catch the last small bits.
- Enjoy!
