How To Brew: Cold Brew

[Lincoln, a barista in a coffee shop kitchen, faces the camera]

Hi, I'm Lincoln.

Today I'm going to show you how to make some cold brew.

For this, you will need [Camera shows close-up of glass cold brew maker, a jug of filtered water, Starbucks plastic cold cup and a bag of Starbucks Blonde Espresso roast coffee, appearing one by one while spinning] a cold brew maker, fresh filtered water, a tumbler, and coarsely ground coffee.

This is a really excellent brewer.

Really easy to use.

I'm just going to unscrew the top [Lincoln unscrews the top of the cold brew maker].

Got my filter.

Click that off [Lincoln takes off the top of the cold brew maker filter].

Pull off this little tab [Lincoln pulls off the filter's tab].

I'm going to add 70 grams of coarsely ground blonde espresso roast [Lincoln adds coffee from a metal cup into the filter].

You can use really any coffee for a cold brew.

You can use medium roast, blonde roast, whatever you like.

Get my coffee in there.

We'll lock this back on top [Lincoln puts the top back onto the filter].

Pour it and I’ll screw my lid back on [Lincoln screws the cold brew maker lid back on and back into the cold brew maker body].

Next step, all we have to do is add our water.

Take off our lid [Lincoln opens the lid of the cold brew maker]

and pour some fresh filtered water [Lincoln pours filtered water from the glass jug through the top opening of the cold brew maker], room temp through our coffee.

It’s going to hang out for about 12 hours.

I'm doing about 70g of coffee and about 680 grams of water.

More or less 24 ounces.

[Screen shows a clock that says 12 hrs on the left, with the cold brew equipments lined up in the same kitchen setting]. It's been 12 hours.

My cold brew is ready to go.

So a couple more steps.

[Lincoln takes the filter out from the cold brew maker, as he unscrews the top lid] I'm going to undo my lid.

Let this drain. I can remove my grounds. [Lincoln puts the filter away to one side]

These can go into the compost for later.

[Lincoln puts the lid back onto the cold brew maker and loosen the top]

Screw the lid back on.

Loosen the top.

[Lincoln pours coffee out from the cold brew maker into a Starbucks plastic cold cup filled with ice, as he shakes the cup]

This is going to be ready to drink right out of the brewer.

[Lincoln sips from the cup]

Delicious.

It's smooth. A little bit sweet.

That kind of candied apple.

A little bit of bittersweet chocolate.

If I wanted to customize this

I could add my creamer of choice.

Add Milk or as flavoring.

And really make it exciting.
