Easy Homemade Cold Brew Recipe

Easy Homemade Cold Brew Recipe

What You’ll Need

  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans (recommend our Colombian Medium Roast)
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Large mason jar or pitcher
  • Fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or coffee filter

Instructions

1. Grind Your Coffee

For best results, use a coarse grind. This helps create a smooth, balanced flavour and makes filtering easier afterward.

2. Combine Coffee & Water

Add your ground coffee to a large jar or pitcher and pour the cold water over top. Stir gently to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated.

3. Let It Steep

Cover and place in the refrigerator for 12 to 18 hours.

The longer it steeps, the stronger and richer the flavour becomes.

4. Strain

Slowly strain the coffee through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter into a clean container.

5. Serve & Enjoy

Pour over ice and enjoy as-is, or customize it with:

  • Milk or cream
  • Oat or almond milk
  • Vanilla syrup
  • Maple syrup
  • Sweet cold foam

Our Favourite Ways to Enjoy Cold Brew

Why Quality Coffee Beans Matter

Great cold brew starts with great coffee beans.

Using freshly roasted, quality beans makes all the difference in flavour, smoothness, and aroma. That’s why we carefully select coffees that are rich, balanced, and enjoyable whether served hot or cold.

If you’ve never tried making cold brew at home before, this is your sign to give it a try.

Simple ingredients. Minimal effort. Delicious results.

Happy brewing ☕
