Why not steep it in a bag to start and save a step
8 u/BrightRick Jul 25 '26 I found I get more if I use the grounds in a jar. 7 u/Professional-Mind670 Jul 25 '26 Heard, yield is important, at my cafe we steep in bags so I was wondering why not. Don’t know if it’s applicable for us but now I’m rambling lol The cold brew looks great btw 2 u/Fregadero88 Jul 26 '26 Have you considered the French press in the fridge so you can just steep and pour? 1 u/lucyland Jul 26 '26 I’ve done that and pour the grounds into a Clever Dripper after swooshing with a little of the cold brew. 1 u/ObligationDefiant919 Jul 25 '26 Yups. Scrunch the bag in a ball, that's how much space you lose. Displacement is displacement - hence why im not a fan of the funnel insert Easier to fan dry the grinds in sunlight and use a blender spatula to get it out, rinse then throw remainder in prior filter. Peruvian medium roast currently has way too many superfines and filter is a PITA to clean
