For those (like me) not interested in buying a scale or turning a simple cup of cold brew into an unnecessary ordeal. Use 2 1/2 cups water with 7 tbsp coffee..... brew it, taste it, adjust the next batch according to personal taste. (which you would have to do even if you used a scale) Simple instructions with no math complications needed!! For those needing an explanation: Millilitres are wet measurements (that's why the word litre is the root word) grams are for weight. interchanging them is what drives people crazy about metric so I worked the math accordingly. 600 ml is very close to 2 1/2 cups. I converted 75 grams to DRY weight oz and then counted out how many tbsp coffee that created. With my course ground coffee, this worked out to roughly 7 tablespoons.
I had to watch your ice drop giggle several times. You reminded me of my daughter. Had to stop the video and call her while crying. Made my whole day. Happy early father's day to all my fellow dads.
I came looking for cold brew information after my elderly Keurig gave up the ghost and quit working. I watched your video and then got to experimenting. usually use two 1 quart mason jars and have discovered, from trial and error, that each 1 quart jar will hold between 700g - 720g of water and 90g of coarse grounds. 720g / 8 = 90g. Works a treat. Now that I have that figured out. It's easey-peasey to replicate when needed. Thank you for the ratio and the method. I leave the grounds to steep/brew anywhere from 12 - 48 hours in my refrigerator with occasional stirrings to help the grounds settle down. Then I use a canning funnel with a strainer to pour the coffee into my French Press. I let the concentrate sit and settle for about five minutes, then press the plunger and pour the black gold into chilled 1 litre milk bottles, cap and put back into my refrigerator. It may not be for everyone, but it works for me. I'll be mentioning this channel in my blog post that's going live tomorrow.
I use to make cold brew with pre ground death wish in a French press. I always eyeballed my measurements and it always came out pretty good and it was consistent. I did have to filter it through a paper filter into a mason jar after I pressed it though.
Thanks for the vid. I'll have to do this. although I might try using a paper filter insert to see if i can get more clariety. but thats more just a texture preference deal. Adorkable host is abonus
Ice is not a dilution for concentrate unless it is fully melted. A 1:4 ratio is usually considered concentrate and 1:8 is non-concentrate. The 1:8 ratio tastes fine immediately in ice, as it is non-concentrate.
What I do is use the 1:8 ratio shared in the video. Then I dilute it 1:1 with water and put it into stainless steel ice cube trays and freeze it. A friend of mine from teh culinary world shared that tip with me.
I assume, in part, the idea was that it would cool the drink rapidly and melt some of it. Albiet not enough for a true dilution. Maybe she likes the concerated version more.
Whether or not she likes it, is not her point here. She's failing at basic science and spreading an inaccurrate methodology for drinking concentrate. @@zwordsman
If you're diluting a 1:8 ratio with an additional 1:1, you now have a 1:16 ratio. You're drinking brown water at that point. @@caninedrill_instructor5861
Great video and information. I would only suggest to give us newbies how many cups of water and how much coffee by cup or 1/2 cup. My brain is not into putting anything on a scale.
the recipe I use for cold brew that creates a real nice concentrate is to grind 8 oz of beans and add 6 cups of water. Sometimes I bloom with 1 cup near boiling water and follow with 5 cups cold water. I then combine the concentrate with 4 oz of water from the Keurig to create a pseudo-Americano.
This would no longer be a cold brew method, but a hybrid of hot with a reduction in temperature. It is my understanding that a cold brew is exactly that, in the fridge(less acid produced) and not room temperature, which is what they did so not actually a cold brew.
@@brawlman might try the true cold brew then a see if it is any different in taste. The bloom is short (30 secs) and the rest of the water is from the refrigerator.
Hi Scott! Generally speaking, no, but it might be a good idea if you're using very-fresh coffee beans. The full-immersion method, like we use here, allows all coffee to be in contact with the water all of the time, so there's less worry about getting the CO2 out. The stir helps release some of that gas that's trapped under all the coffee grounds, as well.
What is mentioned here is not a cold brew, rather room temperature and not the same as 1) using cold water 2) using the fridge to cold steep the coffee We're after the process of reducing acidity in the brew, hence "Cold Brew"and being misused...
Please include American measurements, i.e. ounces, as well as grams and milliliters. There are 24 million coffee drinkers in Canada, compared to the United States, where there are 150 million coffee drinkers.
@@dougsmith3499 So, you expect 150 million Americans go go out and buy metric measuring devices in order to use your "Easiest Method" of making cold brew? You just made it "uneasy"!
Metric is so much easier to use... LOL... I'm Australian and my scales do both metric & imperial... 600mls = 20.2884 fl oz 75g = 2.64555 oz Happy brewing... ☕️
Cool that you're being precise about measuring the ice, but adding the same amount of ice to the concentrate won't make it a 50/50 blend until all of the ice has melted... 🤷♀️🫤

That’s great! Thank you for sharing, I’ll be trying this method at home!
Thank you for explaining that you wearing a sweater = 20 hours of steeping time. I was really skeptical there for a minute.

I like your humor. Good vid. Thanks

Also it’s trippin me out that my fav coffee spot carries this exact brand it happens to be first video I clicked on 💪🏼
Great video!! Very helpful and fun to watch at the same time. Great personality too!!! Loved it.
Thanks so much!!
Okay, okay I'm convinced it has been twenty hours. Hehe.
Thanks for this educational vid! I can def use this on my pop up coffee biz. Cheers!
the tasting part is also very convincing :D :D :D

I have an xl stainless steel FP just for making cold brew. So easy!
Thanks, gonna give this a try!👌

How is the Bloom, I’ve never tried it. What brand do you use? I used Dunkin Midnight

@@cavy95 all different kinds. Lately, blend of 6 oz Starbucks espresso roast and 2 oz Kahlua flavored coffee

@@scottmccaig6185 I’m using Peet’s from Costco. I got some 100% kona I will add to it next week for Christmas.
My lil brain was not ready for this academic level science project
You know what i like about this channel ... Its that she is always like she drank too much coffee.
do you ever bloom your cold brew before adding the majority of the water?

What happens with the 20 hours? My schedule works better for an 8-12 hour recipe. Do any work like that?
SMH as an American, I need to do lots of math if I want to follow this receipe🤣.

You didn't succeed to make me believe it took you 20 hours to change the sweater ^^
That was so funny 😁
@@jenimar13 yep ^^
Wouldn't it depend on how tight the sweater is/was?
