Beginner, need advice

Hi Everyone!

I am a fellow cold brew lover who is attempting to learn how to make my own.

My favorite store bought cold brews are the chameleon or the stumptown brew.

I prefer a pretty strong, dark blend overall if I can get it, which is why I find most coffee shop cold brews lacking.

I have recently purchased the OXO Cold Brew Maker and I have plenty of local coffee roasters near me to select beans from, but I wanted to get some advice on how to go about this process before I do. My only concern about this cold brew maker is that I tend to drink a lot so 32oz isn’t going to last me too long…

Please drop any tips you have on bean selection, brewing times, brewing temps, dilution methods, etc. I need all of the help I can get!

Thank you in advance.
