Fantastic for Cold Brew!
I use this primarily for cold brew coffee, and it's fantastic!
Here's a really simple recipe for cold brew coffee:
1. Add 2/3 cup of ground coffee beans to a French press
2. Add 3 cups of room temperature water (filtered water is best)
3. Lightly stir the grinds - a chopstick or small spoon works well
4. Place the French press plunger on top, but DON'T press the plunger down yet
5. Let the coffee sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours
6. Press down on the plunger and push all the grounds to the bottom
7. Pour out your liquid gold and enjoy
Be sure to store any cold brew in a separate container in the refrigerator, as it's not ideal to store it in the french press with old grounds. Pro tip: The coffee grounds are great to put in a small bowl to "de-funk" your fridge. Just leave them in there uncovered for a day or two, and your fridge will be smelling great.
Overall, this coffee has a great flavor when cold brewed - not bitter, but rather chocolatey with some nice complex notes. It's also great knowing that this company has a "negative footprint" when it comes to obtaining this coffee, and thousands of trees are planted as a result. Organic, great tasting coffee without harm to the environment. I'd say that's a win.
Great product; highly recommended. 5 stars.
