Super Simple Cold Brew Coffee

For this method of preparing Cold Brew Coffee, you need neither a French Press, nor any sort of filter or strainer.

Like any method of making Cold Brew Coffee, you need to prepare in advance. Put a few spoons of ground coffee, or even Turkish coffee, into a jar or pitcher, stir and refrigerate for at least a few hours. Then before serving stir again. Now for Super Simple Cold Brew Coffee, there is a small but crucial difference.

The second stirring is five 5 or so minutes before serving. During that time the coffee grounds will settle on the bottom. So all you have to do is pour your nice tasty coffee into your cup, glass, mug or whatever.

Yup! You can't get anything easier than that! Enjoy!

Perfect for Drinking My Cold Brew Coffee

I thought I'd have to shop for a new glass for drinking my summer morning cold brew coffee. I even started looking in stores for the perfect glass cup. I didn't find something new, but I realized that I had the perfect glass cup at home.

I will just have to get a supply of straws, since they can't be cleaned.  What do you think?

Summer's Back, So Is Cold Brew Coffee

Yesterday morning I had my first cold brew coffee of the season:

I discovered it a couple of years ago, and now I make it in the summer. It's easiest done in a French Press.

The only difficult part is remembering to prepare it the night before.

A good stir after adding cold water to the ground coffee and another stir after taking it from the fridge a few hours later are the most "complicated" parts of the process.

Then you use your French plunger, just like hot coffee, but the flavor is better, at least IMHO. Even in the winter I don't like my coffee very hot. I really do enjoy this great way of drinking cold coffee, and there aren't any ice cubes to dilute/weaken the flavor.

Tips for Better Cold Brewed Coffee

Especially when your cold brew time is limited, giving it a good stir before refrigerating goes a long way to "get your money out of that ground coffee."

Not all of the coffee is wet, so no longer how long it's in the fridge you won't get full flavor.

See how pale and weak the coffee looks. So I took out a fork and gave it a real energized "beating."

Look how much darker it looks now.

Then in the morning straight from the fridge with the sun shining through.

And here after more stirring.

Finally after lowering the plunger/filter of the French Press, coffee ready to drink.

I don't know if you can tell, but I'm using a small spoon for sugar...

Have a great day everyone.
