Cold Brew With Hario Filter-In Bottle

Cold Brew coffee is a great way to enjoy coffee, especially during the warmer months when it's refreshing brews become a real treat to beat the heat. It is easy to make once you know how, especially if you use a brewing device like the Hario Filter-In Bottle like we will below. The only real downside is the brewing time. Unlike other brewing methods which take minutes to prepare, Cold Brew typically takes hours. So a little forward planning is required, or you might find yourself waiting with anticipation.

Notes:

• The brew ratio used in this recipe is 1:12 or 12g of water for every gram of coffee. This produces a brew which is ready to drink. 
• To make a concentrate, reduce the ratio of coffee to water. 1:5 is a good starting point. The other steps will be the same. You can dilute the contrate to taste by adding water before consuming.
• Experiment with different coffee to water ratios, grind size and brew time to achieve your most desired flavour profile.
• For a really refreshing fruit driven treat, we recommend trying this using co-fermented or infused coffees.
