How to Cold Brew Coffee Method # 1:

Obtain whole coffee beans. Dark Roast usually works best.

Grind your beans on the Coarse or Press setting.

Measure out about 4.5 ounces of ground coffee to every 8 ounces of water. (Do not use softened water.)

Put your grounds into a French Press or Coffee Press.

Add room temperature water to the grounds. Make certain that all grounds are wet.

Let steep at room temperature for at least 12 hours (some people prefer steeping while refrigerated).

Filter coffee from grounds by very, very slowly pressing the filter's plunger down to the bottom of the French Press.

Pour into another container and store refrigerated.

Use for any type of coffee-flavored drink.

(Cold brewed coffee is less acidic that hot brewed coffee, and has less caffeine. It is also easier on the stomach.)

How to Cold Brew Coffee Method # 2:

Here's the second cold brew coffee method. It's true that cold brewing takes longer than brewing a pot of hot coffee. For that reason we encourage you to plan in advance. Is cold brewing better than hot brewing? That depends on you. If you like your brew to have a strong flavor with all the acid and bite, then cold brew may not be for you. On the other hand, you may take a sip and fall instantly in love with the cold brew. Just try it at least once. You may just discover you love it!

These are the items needed to brew cold coffee. (This will produce 2 to 3 glasses of iced coffee.)

A container to be placed in the refrigerator when the brewing is finished. This can be a pitcher or carafe or even a jar with a well fitting lid. For example, a common mason jar may be used.
A tall glass or again, a mason jar for the brewing. A second glass that will be used to pour the steeped coffee mixture into.
Any stainless steel kitchen strainer. Just make sure the mesh is very fine. A trick for a strainer that is too course is to use some cheesecloth to help strain.

Obtain whole coffee beans and grind on "course" or "press" setting with four to five ounces for every eight ounces of cold water.

Pour the dry, ground coffee into the heat resistant jar, carafe, glass, or container where the brewing will take place. Then pour in the water.

(It is important to pour the dry coffee in first or you may have difficulty getting the coffee to mix with the water.)

Make sure all grounds are wet. Close the lid of the brewing container. Refrigerate for at least twelve hours, though some people prefer to brew at room temperature.

After the time has passed, prepare your strainer for use. If the strainer holes are larger than the coffee grounds, then line the inside of the strainer with the cheesecloth.

Slowly pour your brewed coffee through the strainer and into the container below that you will be storing the coffee in.

Once that is done, refrigerate the brewed coffee until use. It may be too strong for some drinks and so may require some dilution with water when used.
