Cold Brew In A Mason Jar | Incredibly Simple!

- In this video, we show you how to make cold brew coffee in a Mason jar.
Cold brew coffee is loved by millions for its deep flavor, but also its great smoothness. The reason for both: Cold brew uses time, rather than temperature, for its extraction. The result is an absence of bitter and acidic compounds that are often extracted in hot brewing processes.
In addition, cold brew is probably the simplest way there is to brew coffee: just combine ground coffee and water, wait 12 to 24 hours, and strain it out. That’s literally all there is to it.
At the end of that time, you end up with a coffee concentrate that is naturally low in acid and in bitterness, and that can last a week or two in your refrigerator. When you’re ready to drink, add water to the concentrate and you’ve got a great cup -- or glass -- of coffee in seconds.

i don’t know what it is but the vibes here are immaculate. not even halfway through the video and i’ve already subscribed! keep on keepin on ✨
Thanks for the kind words! Happy brewing!
I’ve been using your method for a while now. And I find that straining goes a lot quicker when I use the mesh strainer first to get the majority of the grinds. Then use a paper filter.
Thanks for sharing!
Same here
This is one of the first cold brew tutorials that i've understood, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Not gonna lie, your vibe makes me feel ✨safe✨
thank you for the recipe ! worked very good :)) i bought a one gallon mason jar and throw my coffee grounds in a nut bag and toss it in the jar, cleanup is very easy this way
this is the best cold brew tutorial on the internet! easy recipe and you made it so understandable. thank you!
Great presentation! Thank you so much!
Well done, thank you for an informative and easy to follow video.
It hadn't occurred to me to just steep it in the jar and filter it later. Was trying to figure out the right filtration system. Problem solved! Thanks!!
Great video! Thank you. Stay well!
Thanks for watching!
I'm confused on the ratios. He said the brew was 1:2, but he did 57 g to 453.6 ml of water. That's closer to 1:8
This is great. I am going to try this
Nice video. I'm going to try your method for cold brew (which I've never brewed). The only thing is, that is more like a day or two of iced coffee for me. lol. Thank you for the info.
I watched your video and went out to buy some Mason jars.
A dozen was only $8.99 at Target. But I don't have the space in my apartment for that.
So I picked up a sweet little 4-pack of nesting 16oz Mason jars on the shelf above the dozen pack. It was $9.78 for the four of them. Half the price of the most basic french press.
And they only take up about as much space as two regular mason jars in the cabinet because they nest together.
I grabbed some #2 cone type coffee filters, as I found them the perfect diameter to fit these 16oz mason jars. The lid ring screws down over the filter without too much trouble. So it's possible to pour through a filter without requiring anything except the Mason jar and included metal lid ring, and an appropriate filter.
I love cold brew. It's much less acidic, and has a better flavor.
Thanks for the tips!
Omg you could use an old pickle jar.
amazing!!
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
To brew: 57 grams of coffee beans - coarse grind and combine with 16 ounces room temperature water. 16 hrs brew time.
To drink: 3 ounces water, 1.5 ounces of coffee concentrate.
Been a coffee buff for a while and had never really thought about how to make cold brew and this recipe absolutely killed it! I used a fairly acidic Tanzanian coffee and the cold brew turned out so mellow and absolutely lovely.
So glad to hear it!
Love it
I love using my french press for mu cold brew. Adding in my own herbs for unique profiles! 🤤 I find it less messy then my mason jar.
That's a great idea!
What do you think about using a tea bag for cold brew?
I’m going to start using cheesecloth instead of paper filters. The paper filters take forever to strain and I’ve heard cheesecloth is quicker.
Does your 2:1 water coffee concentrate ratio include the ice cube in the two parts water?
Hi! Does it go in the fridge while it is sitting and brewing?
Gonna use this for my not so good beans. Thank you!
Enjoy!
Thanks for the clear explanation. I'm curious about 2 things: 1) Do you use filtered or bottled water in this process? 2) That milk looks very "creamy." Do you have a preference for the fat content?
Thanks!
Great questions! The water you use should be good quality water that you would normally use for coffee brewing. Filtered and bottled water are both great options, especially if you live in an area with poor tap quality. For milk, it's totally up to you! :)
@@HomeGroundsCoffee Thank you. I'm a purist so I never put milk in my coffee:-)
How did it goes so black 🖤 and dark. My cold brew 24hrs result always brownish. May I know if you have used espresso beans in this video or a beans for filter coffee. Thanks alot
These were beans for filter coffee. Maybe try grinding a bit finer, but rely more on how it tastes than the color. Happy brewing!
Did you leave the cold brew on the counter, room temp for 16 hours or refrigerate?
Did you watch ther video?
Could you just add the water directly to your jar until you like it the ration/taste and store it instead of adding the water separately each time?
If you went to his web page that describes this process, you'd see the answer:
The concentrate will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge. But if you add water to it, the shelf life decreases to 2-3 days.
That's the beauty. You can do almost anything you want to.
I was thinking would it be fine if I reduced the amount of beans to just get a ready to drink cold brew instead?
I found the flavor is affected. Best to do a concentrate
Sorry to comment twice... my first batch is in a sealed container in a cabinet near the floor, I have central air running so I assume that is sufficient. I used my Starbucks French roast beans, is there another Bean that you personally prefer? I can barely stand the 16-hour weight but I wanted to use your timeline as a starting point and adjust for my personal taste from there. I assume the longer it sits the stronger it gets?
Regarding time: You’ll be okay anywhere from 14-20 hours, but make sure you don’t steep for longer than 20 hours or you’ll start getting some funky flavors.
In terms of which beans to use, some of our favorites are listed here: www.homegrounds.co/the-7-best-coffees-for-cold-brew/
I use a 1/2 gallon mason jar. Let it sit out on the counter overnight. Strain the next morning. I use 1 1/2 cups of coffee for this. Found this was the perfect ratio for my taste. Just experiment on a small scale and do what works best for you. I also live in a tiny apartment with zero kitchen space.
@@annholden7504 Hi thanks for the tip! 1 1/2 cups of coffee, sorry, is that 1 1/2 cups of whole beans? thank u!
@@ms-wg3bi course ground coffee is best. What ever brand you prefer
Why cant anyone just say add to the one with coffee and 3 with water
On one of your episodes you said don't stir. On this one you said stir?
Cold Brow items Gib me please
Unless there's something special about coffee's properties, it may not be best to suggest "cold" brewing outside of a fridge. I know with cold brewing tea it is highly recommended NOT to brew at room temp for the increased chance of bacteria growth.
I just finished watching your video, which I greatly enjoyed. I'm confused by one thing. You showed an easy way to make cold brew without special equipment. So why have links to your reviews of special equipment to do this???
I guess it's to pay the bills?
The bitter taste comes from coffee makers not boiling the coffee with removes bitter taste
