DIY Cold Brew Secrets
To master the art of DIY cold brew at home, start with coarsely ground coffee beans and cold water. Use a 1:4 coffee to water ratio and let the mixture steep in the fridge for 12-24 hours. Strain the coffee using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the grounds, and enjoy your smooth, flavorful cold brew.
Chemex Pour Over Tips
For a perfect Chemex pour over, begin by pre-wetting the filter and rinsing the Chemex with hot water to remove any paper taste. Use medium-coarse ground coffee and pour hot water over the grounds in a circular motion, allowing the coffee to bloom before continuing to pour. Aim for a total brew time of 3-4 minutes for a balanced and aromatic cup of coffee.
