Low effort, smooth flavour, and ice-cold goodness — coffee that does the work while you sleep.

 

What You’ll Need:

  • Coarse ground coffee (like chunky sea salt)
  • Cold or room temp water
  • Large jar, jug, or French Press
  • Fine strainer or muslin cloth
  • Spoon
  • Fridge
  • Patience (just a bit)

 

Coffee-to-Water Ratio:

  • 100g coffee to 1 litre water
    You can scale up or down depending on how much you want.

 

Step-by-Step:

  1. Add Coffee to Your Jar
    Pop 100g of coarsely ground coffee into your container.
  2. Add Water
    Pour in 1 litre of cold or room temperature water. Give it a good stir to make sure all the grounds are wet.
  3. Cover & Let It Brew
    Cover the jar and leave it to brew for 12–18 hours at room temperature or in the fridge. We like 14 hours for the sweet spot.
  4. Strain It Well
    Use a fine sieve, muslin cloth, or coffee filter to strain into a clean bottle or jug. If using a French Press, just plunge slowly and pour.
  5. Serve & Store
    Serve over ice, dilute with cold water or milk if you like it lighter. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

 

Pro Tips:

  • Try it with oat milk and a dash of maple syrup — dreamy iced latte vibes without the faff.
  • Cold brew is naturally sweet and smooth, so it’s great for folks who find hot coffee a bit intense.
  • Want a bolder flavour? Brew it longer (up to 18 hours) or use more coffee.
  • For something extra special, try using a single origin with chocolate or fruity notes — cold brew brings those flavours out beautifully.
  • Store it in a glass bottle or jar for up to 5 days in the fridge — just give it a swirl before serving.
  • You can even freeze cold brew into ice cubes for a chilled coffee that never waters down.
