On 2026-03-20, preparing a gift and also for the iced coffee season, I got a new setup to prepare cold brew consisting on a nylon bag and a large mason jar. Using this setup, what I usually do to prepare cold brew is:
- A ratio of 50g of coffee per 1L of water. I like this looser ratio and if I need more power I can alway steep it a bit longer. This ratio was suggested by Aitor over at Old School.
- I grind the coffee using 30-35 clicks in my Comandante C40. That is an extra coarse ground.
- I submerge the whole bag and let the grounds steep during 16-20h. That depends mostly on the coffee and what I aim for; feel free to try to check if it’s ready.
- Once it’s ready, I remove the bag with the grounds and filter the whole thing through a paper filter to get a clearer brew.
- Especially for washed coffee, I like to serve it with one or two drops of saline solution. It really kicks the flavor up a notch and makes it feel extra refreshing.
