How to Make Cold Brew Coffee in a French Press:
As many of you know, I am an AVID cold brew coffee drinker. I switched over to cold brew in 2016 because I was suffering from acid reflux and other stomach issues. I had to swear off coffee altogether for a while, but slowly incorporated cold brew back into my diet once I learned that it doesn't upset my stomach.
What is Cold Brew Coffee:
Cold brew coffee is coffee that is brewed with cold or room temperature water instead of scalding hot water. As a result, cold brew is MUCH less acidic and less bitter than regularly brewed coffee. Regular coffee is brewed with scalding hot water which strips the coffee bean and breaks it down, which results in more acidic and bitter coffee.
Its because of these benefits that so many people gravitate towards cold brew: flavor (not so acidic – it's easier to drink black) and because it is so much easier on their stomachs. To this day I cannot drink regular coffee without heartburn or a stomach ache, but I can drink my homemade cold brew without a problem.
Cold Brew Coffee/French Press Ratio:
The recommended ration of cold brew coffee to water is 4 cups water to 1/2 cup roughly ground coffee beans. Of course, you can adjust this ratio to make your cold brew weaker or stronger!
Cold Brew Coffee French Press Step-by-Step
Step 1: Roughly ground up your coffee beans
Step 2: Add them to the bottom of your French Press
Step 3: Pour in water
Step 4: Let brew for as long as you desire (24 hours is recommended – see recipe card)
Step 5: Once brewed, add top/filter back on French Press and press down.
That's it!
What I used:
- French Press (the one shown in the picture)
- Coffee Beans
- Filtered Water
