Iced Coffee/Cold Brew Stacy’s Way

[DeusDingo]

so i've always wondered: why don't people cold brew in a french press, push down, and pour it out? it seems like it is specifically made for this task and it would save on extra materials/steps. i await enlightenment.

That sounds like it might be just the ticket. We go through a lot of cheesecloth

Thanks! Me likes me some cold brew! This is similar to how i make the concentrate. I also use a device called "The Tube" for a smaller batch of non-concentrate cold brew. It’s cold brew in a mason jar basically.

We do something similar except i bought some washable cheesecloth/muslin pouches that you can put the coffee in to save the straining step. Usually do it in a pitcher overnight in the fridge.

agree, it makes fantastic cold brew.

Stacy has more or less perfected cold brew coffee to make Iced Coffee, in my humble opinion. To the point where it’s pretty much my only coffee that I drink now. Here’s how she does it.

1 pound dark roast coffee beans (we use Black Rifle Coffee’s Beyond Black)
12 cups cold, filtered water, divided into 4 cups and 8 cups

1. Grind coffee beans until coarse ground, with grounds roughly about same dimensions as kosher salt
2. In a large, non-reactive bowl, stir in 4 cups cold water until you have a "coffee slushy"
3. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes with grounds steeping.
4. Stir in remaining 8 cups cold water until well mixed
5. Cover tightly
6. Let stand on counter, at room temperature, for at least 8 hours.
7. Strain through doubled up cheese cloth several times until there are no grounds remaining in the coffee
8. Now you can use this concentrate to make iced coffee. Mix in equal parts of cold water and concentrate, then pour over another equal part of ice.

Enjoy CaptainMike
