This system makes it easy to create cafe-quality drinks at home. Why Cold Brew? Cold Brew Coffee is naturally lower in acidity, making it gentler on your teeth and stomach. Since it's never heated, the chemistry remains unchanged, allowing you to store it in the fridge for 1-2 weeks without altering the taste. Cold Brew Tea contains fewer tannins than hot-brewed tea, resulting in a smoother, less bitter flavor. Use loose leaf tea to further eliminate waste in your home. Eco-Friendly, means more no more paper filters! No machine to plug into the wall, just the humble Mason jar. Great for small spaces, camping, and travel. What’s Included: Stainless Steel Filter Stainless Steel Lid Two Silicone Seals – One for brewing (wrap-around), one for leak-proof storage. Only use one at a time. Brewing & Steeping Instructions: Important: Use only the wrap-around silicone seal (which seals both the filter and lid) when brewing. This seal is optional if your jar will remain upright. Cold Brew Coffee Fill the stainless steel filter about ¾ full with coarse ground coffee. The extra space is to allow for swelling. Fill the jar with cold water. Let steep on your counter or in the fridge for 24 hours. Remove the filter, compost the grounds, and enjoy over ice or hot — diluted to taste. Cold Brew Tea Add 1–2 tsp of loose leaf tea per 6–8 oz of cold water. Place in fridge and steep: White/Green Tea: 6–8 hours Black/Oolong Tea: 8–12 hours Remove the filter, compost the leaves, and serve as desired. Hot Coffee or Tea Add grounds or tea leaves to the filter. Pour in water heated to about 200°F. Let steep a few minutes, then enjoy. Storage Instructions: After brewing, replace the wrap around brewing seal with the leak-proof silicone sealing liner and stainless steel lid to keep your drink fresh in the fridge. Helpful Tips: Be sure you use coarse ground coffee! A higher quality coffee grinder will give you a more consistent coarse grind. Cheaper grinders produce a mix of coarse all the way down to powdery grinds. The cold brew concentrate will be strong! Cold brew coffee is commonly made very strong and diluted at serving time. Dilute to taste and enjoy hot or iced with milk, sweeteners, or syrups. To make a more concentrated version, use more coffee grounds or steep for longer. Filter Sizes: Height: Pint: 10cm, Quart: 15cm, and Half Gallon: 21cm. The filter mesh is 7cm in diameter and a 50-micron Dutch weave. All parts are easy to clean and dishwasher safe, and I find this is the easiest way to clean them.
