This video conflicts with the other SCG in terms of ratio used. Here it's 6:1 and most other SGD videos recommend 4:1. Even if it's 6:1, that would be a concentrate level and not drunk straight like this guy does in this video. If you drink this straight, 24oz would yield about three drinks of cold brew. Using 4 oz of beans for three drinks is a lot of beans per drink. 4 oz of beans yields 5 cups of pour over coffee.
I agree. I feel like the flask on the old design is more fragile, easier to cause dripping and simply more difficult to manage. If I drop my receiving flask, is that a good justification to upgrade to the new one?
Question: I've never been a coffee drinker, so I am completely ignorant on coffee. I've just started making cold brew to mix with other drinks. I've noticed a mud like consistency settling to the bottom. Is that safe normal? Do most people drink that? Or filter it out? It seems like it will mix fine if shaken or stirred, but I've tried using a standard paper coffee filter and that filters it out. I'm only using it as a mix in protein shakes, so I don't care about the consistency. I just don't want to drink it if it is bad for me. Thanks for any help 🙏🏻
Ground coffee beans don't dissolve in water. That mud settling to the bottom is the spent ground coffee. You are expected to filter it out of your coffee. Drinking unfiltered coffee is mildly unhealthy- mild enough that it's debatable- but I definitely do recommend filtering your coffee no matter what.
it's a concentrate. def do not recommend drinking that straight. usually i do a 3.5 fluid ounce pour of concentrate. add about 5 fl ounces of water. and a few ice cubes. give it a little spoon swirl. and you're good to go
Cold basement for 48. Coffee does not need to be ground extra course either. I use Four Sigmatic’s lion mane regular ground course and it works great. This Oxo is well worth the money.
The water gets absorbed no matter what size you grind your coffee beans down to in my experience with cold brew. I usually end up adding more water to the coffee grounds. It never ends up yielding 24oz of cold brew as the specs say.
Agreed! My "32" oz cold brew maker has a 32 oz. carafe but it consistently yields 24 oz of cold brew. After removing the filter with the grounds, I fill the carafe to the 32 oz line.
That's why I looked up this video. Seemed like too much coffee haha I will go with he says. Maybe if you fill it to the coffee bean it is for a concentrate?
@@thealbinokoala - Yes, filling the coffee to the coffee bean line is for making a batch of concentrate. When I do that, I fill up the water to the top after putting the coffee in.
Thank you so much, this was way more clear instructions than the others I've watched! ☕
My man is taking 2-3x coffee concentrate straight to the skull piece. My kinda guy
Thanks for the vid, but is your 1 to 6 ratio for making concentrate or ready to drink coffee?

I have the original OXO and this is a great redesign! My only issues with the original are the size of the base and the dispense lever

Yay! A brewing video.
One thing- the volume seems low on the video.
It's the guy

Is that cold brew ready to drink or a concentrate?
SpeakNup this is a cold brew concentrate brewer

@@ghotramanvinder what is your ratio of grounds to water?
I’ve taken plenty of cold brew shots….like espresso but cold for a quick caffeine boost.
Shouldn't the coffee be filled up to the 'coffee bean' line?
Depends on how strong you want your coffee. Seems like he didn’t want to add too much to it after it was done brewing, so he made it with less grounds
I thought I had to fill it with coffee all the way to the top of the coffee mark. I took one sip and start having a panic attack😂
😂😂😂
How long does the mesh filter last?
Great demo! I just bought one!
I have this and like it, but I thought they say to fill the grinds up to that line on the container and then add 24oz water..
yeah, i was doing that for a while too but it really felt like way too much
Thats how u make concentrate that u disolve in soda usually just tonic water
Great video for a starter like me !!! Thank you
What is the ratio in regards to how many scoops of beans for 24oz water..?
Thank you just bought mine!
Thank you! excellent instructions
I like the looks of this! I do not see it on your website yet.
Coming the 26th!
Seattle Coffee Gear awesome thanks!
Do you sit this on the counter to brew or in the fridge?
I put mine in the fridge for 36 hrs

24oz water produced 24oz brew? I thought the ground would absorb a certain percentage of water
24 oz water yields 16 oz. ~2oz concentrate added to 4-6 oz water/milk.So each batch makes ~8 servings
this is according to their website if you use 6oz grounds. in this vid he uses 4

really missing gail just sain'..
Where did she go?
I miss her too. Just sayin'
Where is Gail?
@@Nyle95 she retired
This is just genius
The directions said to fill the coffee up to the “coffee bean line”so it’s going to overflow I guess! Wth?!

How much is 4 ounces of coffee in grams measured out
Don't you know how to use Google? Type "4 ounces in grams" in the search function.
