Cold Brew Preparation
Make your own cold brew
Cold brew is coffee that has been cold-pressed for several hours. Unlike espresso, filter coffee, or iced coffee, cold brew doesn't come into contact with hot water. Due to the lack of pressure and high temperatures, fewer bitter and acidic compounds dissolve. This gives cold brew a particularly smooth flavor with a delicate sweetness.
There are numerous cold brew recipes that vary depending on the coffee and your taste. In general, preparing cold brew is quite simple, and you can experiment with it yourself with little effort.

Here is a Cold Brew guide
1. First, weigh the required amount of coffee and grind it fresh with your coffee grinder.
2. The grind should be coarser than for filter coffee, about the size of dried basil.
3. Fill the ground coffee into the filter basket and place it in the pot.
4. Then pour the cold water over the coffee.
5. Stir occasionally to allow the water to flow through more quickly.
6. Fill the pot to the top with water so that the coffee grounds are completely submerged.
7. Then place the cold brew in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then take a first taste.
Tip: If the coffee tastes flat and lacks flavor after 12 hours, return it to the refrigerator and taste again after about two hours. If the coffee tastes mostly bitter, you should stop the extraction.
