Let’s Get Started!
What You Need:

- Ground coffee
- French press
How To Make Cold Brew Coffee
Before we get into to cold brewing coffee, you have to understand that this isn’t simply making coffee cold by putting ice cubes or putting it in the refrigerator. This is a process where no heat is applied, and you will find out more about it as you read on.

Step 1. Ratio
First is to put coffee into the French press. Next is to pour bottled water at room temperature over the coffee grinds gently. The ratio of coffee to water will be approximately one to seven. If you have really good tap water at home you can also use that. Make sure you get all the grounds nice and wet.
Step 2. Mix
Now, get a large spoon and use the edge of the handle to poke around the container or the French press. This will allow all the coffee grinds to absorb water.
You’ve probably heard other coffee makers before suggest putting the mixture in the refrigerator. Well, I say don’t, but simply cover the mixture in your press with the cap or press and leave it at a room temperature. If it gets too cold it won’t dissolve enough of the coffee and will have a weak flavor.

Step 3. Press
The next thing we do is to wait for 12 to 13 hours. Perhaps you can work this out overnight so you can enjoy it in the morning. Steeping coffee in the water this long will allow the coffee flavors to dissolve in cold water naturally. So after 12 hours, you simply plunge the press gently to separate the steeped liquid from the coffee grinds.
There are a couple of things you would want to learn more about cold brew coffee. One, is you’re going to get a bit more caffeine than you would normally get in a regular brewed coffee. Heating, as you know, applies a change in temperature which changes the taste and takes out most of the natural flavor. Two, it leaves off the acidity that comes when heat is applied to coffee. This cold brewing process, therefore, makes coffee easier on the stomach.
Step 4. Store
You wouldn’t want to store the cold brew coffee in the French press. What you need to do is to get a separate container with a cover and empty the cold brew coffee into the container. This time, you may keep and store the finished cold brew coffee in the fridge, and you may store it for as long as two weeks. You can also make many of your favorite coffee recipes with it.
