Introduction:

Cold brew coffee has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its smooth and less acidic taste compared to hot brewed coffee. Making cold brew coffee at home has never been easier with the Oxo Cold Brew Manual Coffee Maker. In this article, we will share 5 tips for making the perfect cold brew using this machine.

Tip 1: Use high-quality coffee beans

The foundation of a great cup of coffee is high-quality beans. When it comes to cold brew, it's best to use a medium roast coffee bean. The Oxo Cold Brew Manual Coffee Maker can hold up to 32 ounces of coffee, so you will need about 10-12 ounces of coffee beans. Grind the beans coarsely to ensure the best flavor extraction.

Tip 2: Use cold, filtered water

The quality of water used in brewing coffee can greatly affect the taste. For the best results, use cold, filtered water. Fill the coffee maker with water up to the MAX line. Stir the coffee and water mixture gently to make sure the grounds are fully saturated.

Tip 3: Brew for 12-24 hours

The Oxo Cold Brew Manual Coffee Maker is designed to brew coffee for 12-24 hours, depending on your taste preference. We recommend brewing for at least 16 hours for a full-bodied flavor. After brewing, remove the coffee concentrate from the machine and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining grounds.

Tip 4: Dilute the concentrate with water

Cold brew coffee concentrate is strong and needs to be diluted before drinking. The ratio of coffee concentrate to water is typically 1:2 or 1:3, depending on your preference. Add ice and milk for a refreshing iced coffee.

Tip 5: Store the concentrate properly

The Oxo Cold Brew Manual Coffee Maker comes with a brewing container and a glass carafe for storing the coffee concentrate. The concentrate can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Make sure to cover the carafe with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent any odors from seeping in.

Conclusion:

Making the perfect cold brew coffee at home is easy with the Oxo Cold Brew Manual Coffee Maker. By using high-quality beans, cold filtered water, brewing for 12-24 hours, diluting properly, and storing correctly, you can enjoy a delicious and refreshing cup of cold brew coffee any time of day.
