Method

  1. I use broadly the same recipe calculator for filter, cafetiere and cold-brew coffee.
  2. If I am making cold-brew coffee, generally I use filtered water from a kettle which has been boiled for a minute or two and then left to cool for a couple of hours to room temperature. It's your choice.
  3. For cold-brew: gradually add W volume of water at room temperature to X mass of ground coffee, mixing gently but thoroughly. Be aware that the container needs to contain both W volume of water and also X grams of swollen, hydrated coffee grounds, so plan to use a large enough container. Let stand for a few hours at room temperature, or overnight if refrigerated. Filter, possibly dilute, possibly warm, and serve. Gently microwaving the neat extract also works well.
  4. Consider only partially-filling cups (smaller V) and perhaps also making stronger (bigger M) to leave space in mugs for topping up with boiling water before drinking.
  5. Experiment and have fun.
