Cold Brew Coffee
It was two years ago, and I just started my paternity leave. Not wanting to drive to Starbucks every day, bleary-eyed and exhausted, I remembered that I had a cold brew coffee maker collecting dust.
Every couple of days, I would …
- Fill the carafe with 800ml of water.
- Fill the filter with coffee grounds up to the top of the mesh.
- Place the filter into the carafe and soak with water until the water line is no longer visible.
- Leave the coffee on the counter to brew overnight, and it’s ready the following morning!
The whole operation takes five minutes.
When enjoying, dilute one part of coffee with one part of water or milk. Not a fan of cold brew? No problem! Just throw it in the microwave.
In those two years, I estimate that we saved over $5,000 on coffee by making it at home.
