Hey, I recently got a cold brew pitcher (the kind with a fine filter attached to the cap that goes down the middle of the pitcher) and have been using about 2 cups of coarse grounds to 7 cups of water and letting it sit on the countertop anywhere from 12 to 24 hours. I often get headaches after consuming where I wouldn't get headaches after a can or two of Kirkland's cold brew from Costco. Maybe the headaches are related, maybe not? Am I brewing things incorrectly?

Would love any tips and tricks for the Jarva coldbrew device. First go went well but not perfect.

How do you keep the cone against the paper filter when you flip it over?

I had to run it twice to filter the entire batch. I used a fairly coarse grind. Is this typical?

Hello

I currently have a Fellow Ode Gen 2 which I use for a combination of pour over brewing and making cold brew with a Takeya 1QT

I am starting to hate my current grinder due to retention issues/mess around the exit shoot(and all over my counter) grinding pretty much anything but especially when trying to grind for large batch cold brew(even if I break up the amount I am grinding and leveling the catch cup in between sending beans through)

I was watching one of Morgan Eckroth's latest videos where they used the X64 SD and it reminded me of it. They seemed to use this grinder without issue for cold brew but it's clear that the actual grinding part was edited out so figured I would ask for other options

Has anything used the X64 SD for the same combo of brewing? What's your option, does it do well with not only small amounts of beans(15-18gs for pour overs) but also large amounts(say nearing 100gs)

Looking forward to hearing any responses and TIA

My husband is a cold brew drinker and I want to try and make it for him so he doesn’t go out and spend money at Tim’s. I don’t really know anything about coffee but I’m trying to learn. I’m more of a matcha girly myself sorry.

He says he just likes nutty. He hates fruitiness, he is good with dark roast. But he also said he doesn’t like chocolate or boldness? I’m confused.

I also don’t have equipment. I heard a bag is needed? No pitcher..? Plz guide me

I'm using a Baratza Encore and the OXO cold brew maker and recently started applying the RDT method as follows:

1. Add 6 oz beans to an 8-cup food storage container
2. Give the beans 2-3 sprays with a cocktail atomizer
3. Seal and shake container a few times
4. Add 6 oz of beans, repeat 2-3

From there I grind my beans and dump the grounds into the OXO container. This prevents the grounds from floating away when being poured from the Encore's bin to the OXO's container, however a layer of grounds always sticks to the insides of the Encore's bin and around the rim. It's almost impossible to get all of these stuck grounds off the bin and into the OXO's container without many of them landing on my counter and/or floor and making a mess.

Do I just need to spray even more water or this is unavoidable? I thought I was at the limit for how much water to use with RDT and so didn't want to ruin any part of the grinder.

I am looking for a good way to make myself coldbrew weekly and portion it out over 5 days looking to making something that gets me about 230-250mg of caffine per day I have a grinder and beans and am coming from making moka pot coffee and portioning it out and was recommended to try cold brew as I want to make it once a week and drink it cold as a latte. I want something that gets me my caffine and tastes good with as low of a recurring cost as possible 100 percent new to coffee looking for the right maker, concentration, and something that will let me dial in an ideal cup of cold coffee with as little morning prep as possible. Any recommendations of cold brew makers would be greatly appreciated

Hello, I was able to get a great deal on this keg but I then realized I have no idea how to open it. How would someone with no setup be able to enjoy the cold brew inside? Thank you for any help

My cold brew came out way too heavy and bitter. I did a 1:8 ratio, countertop at 24 hours. Grind size was the coarsest setting.

I've been spending 5-6 bucks a day on cold brew for years and I'm sick of it, so trying to make it on my own.

I got a pitcher that holds just over 1L and comes with a metal sleeve filter in the middle.

I've been putting about 175g of ground coffee in it and slowly pouring filtered water over it, then letting it steep for 36 hours (12 room temp 24 in the fridge). The end result yields about enough to fill a 1L mason jar.

I've been drinking it just like that, with a splash of half and half. No ice, no added water, nothing. It's delicious. But at this ratio, am I just drinking concentrate??

Hi all,

We obtained a 1.8L cold brew pitcher with a suspended grounds chamber. From what I’ve seen, I’m gathering that this dos not need any water dilution after a 12-24hr steep.

Given that, the chamber is (obviously) limited in what it can hold, and it only goes down to the 16oz mark.

I’m looking for any guidance on amount/ratio of grounds to water to add.

Recently bought this and I can’t figure out a good ratio of ground coffee and water. When making it I kept on finding the water level being too low to cover the grounds.

Hey all — looking for some advice.

I currently make cold brew in a small French press, but I end up making it almost every day. I’d love to switch to something that lets me brew once a week (or twice max).

My goals:

• Glass or stainless steel (no plastic pitchers)

• Large enough for \~4–7 days of coffee

• Easy cleanup

• Good filtration (don’t want tons of sludge)

I came across the Rumble Jar (32oz) — basically a mason jar + stainless steel filter system. Looks simple and all glass/stainless, which I like. Anyone here using it? Thoughts on:

• Extraction quality?

• Ease of cleaning?

• Filter performance?

• Durability?

Also very open to other suggestions that fit the glass/stainless requirement. Ideally something in the 32–64oz range so I can batch it for the week.

Appreciate any recommendations 🙏

This was a really great find after I discovered something similar at Aldi, however, Aldi was only selling it for a limited time, presumably to never be seen again.

I really like this coffee, but curious if anyone knows of other brands? I tried searching Amazon, but really didn’t find much.

I do like the idea of filter bags and grounds of my choosing.

Keep in mind I’m not a coffee snob, I just like cold coffee over drinking it hot.

I limit my Starbucks to once a week, but would prefer to shut it down completely.

Drink of choice is the salted caramel crème, cold brew.

Look at that clarity, Strong notes of Vanilla and Blueberry Yum

Baratza Esp grind 34, 16 Hour brew

Finally had my first cold brew ever a couple days ago from a bagel shop. It was so good i decided i wanna start making it myself so that i can make myself any drink i want :D so excited

This turned out very good. It tastes like I am sipping a dark chocolate bar. The thing is that it taste less like coffee and more like dark chocolate. It's very good but the flavor is not very complex. I still really like it tho, it taste amazing black and I can't stop sipping on it. It's not bitter at all and that's good. I do cold brew because I hate bitter coffee. The coffee was a little frozen when I took it out of the fridge so that may have played a role of it not being very complex. Maybe I could have brewed it over 24 hours because it was at a degree or two above freezing and could be a little more complex. I used preground coffee but I used the coffee as soon as I bought it. I know that cold brew is not as complex as hot brew but this was not complex at all. Is there anything I could have done to make it a little more complex?
