Instructions
Grind the coffee into a coarse grind. The grind size should be between that of filter coffee and french press coffee. However, it depends on your coffee maker's filter basket size. Adjust accordingly.
Pour the coffee grinds into the filter basket of your cold brew coffee maker and set it up so you can add water.
Slowly pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, just enough so the coffee grounds are wet. (This is called a hot bloom.)
Fill the rest of the cold brew coffee maker with water. Give the coffee grounds a very quick stir.
Set in the refrigerator and allow to brew for 15-18 hours. When the coffee is ready, remove the coffee filter without agitating the coffee grounds too much. Allow any remaining coffee to drip out of the coffee filter basket.
Serve cold. Any leftover cold brew coffee can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple days. The coffee will taste best the day it is done brewing, and will slowly lose flavor and become flat.
Notes
This recipe is written for a cold brew coffee maker such as the Hario. This is a very standard cold brew coffee maker style. Alternatively, follow the manufacturers instructions for your cold brew coffee maker if this recipe does not suit.
