Cold Brew
Getting the right dilution is pretty key for making tasty cold brew and it can sometimes be tricky without a refractometer or tool to gauge the concentration. Oftentimes cold brew that tastes a little muddled/off, just needs a slight amount of extra dilution.
We recommend:
Ratio: 8:1 ratio of water to coffee
Grind: Medium Coarse grind
Steep Time: 24 hours
Storage: Store as concentrate to prolong shelf-life for 7-10 days
Dilution: Dilute with equal weight water one serving at a time
Automatic Brewer

Water: 1L
Grind: Medium Coarse
Recipe:
- Dose coffee into dry filter
- Gently shake to level coffee bed
- Fill water reservoir with pre-weighed water
- Brew and enjoy
Tips:
- Your final coffee bed should be nice and flat with minimal grounds sticking to the filter paper walls
- This recipe will work with nearly any automatic brewer
