What I like about it: Then Brew Option

I was pleasantly surprised at the build quality when I opened the box. for one. Has a glass container. This is the most important part. I don't want a plastic container as it will scratch over time and the coffee will soak into the surface. Not to mention the container doesn't look as cool after everything is scratched. The filter element is a good indicator as it seems to allow most of the flavor (oil) to seep out of the beans without the bottom being thrown out. If washed carefully, it will last for many years. The filter element can be easily removed from the lid for easy cleaning. And, perhaps with the added benefit that if it ever becomes damaged, one person can easily replace it rather than having to replace the entire unit. some wishes. But it is okay. If you are a person who likes to grind coffee finer, some of these may end up in the water. So if there was an extra strainer on the lid, maybe we could strain out the last drop of cold coffee. :) I was so impressed with the results that I shared my drink with friends and family. And they agree that this is the best coffee. My success in improving the brew is still in progress. However. If you want to try the party like I do. I hope you agree, it's delicious too. So read on if you're interested. _1_The best beans and the best water. If you can't grind yourself, go to a store to have it done. If you use pre-ground coffee, buy it fresh and try to keep the rest as fresh as possible. I consider deep/dark roast coffee to be the best coffee because it won't have the bitterness like if you brew it hot, but it will be rich in flavor and aroma. Use bottled water if you want to impress. But if you happen to live in a city with pretty good tap water, all you have to do is pour it into your favorite water purifier for a very refreshing taste. While bottled water is good; The manufacturer adds minerals to the water for flavor. This may change your result and if you are not satisfied try a different water, not new coffee grounds._2_ Use cold water (45 degrees) and pour half the required amount into the brewing container._3_ I found that fine ground is good but some will hit the screen. If you're okay with that and then filter it out as you pour, then go for it. However, DO NOT use a paper filter. This will filter out all your hard work and the tastiest oils. In this case, use a stainless steel inlet filter. Otherwise. Just use a coarser grind._4_ The amount and type of coffee grounds is and will be very controversial. However, this type of brew typically uses about twice as much ground coffee as a hot brew. According to instructions. About 75 grams per 1100 ml of water is recommended. But for us American drinkers, the metric system is a bit confusing. Correct me now if I'm wrong. So our measured need depends on how moist and fine the ground coffee is. It comes with a handy SS spoon. This is a 1/8 cup (30ml) scoop. I think it means approximately. 16 grams? And 1100ml is about 4 cups._4.5_ I use 4 cups of water with 4 1/2 scoops of medium/coarse coffee._5_ After the canister is half filled with water, I then lower the lid with the filter and tighten. Then pour all the coffee grounds into the filter._6_ Next, I use the second (last) half of the water. (in this case the second, 2 cups of water) and SLOWLY pour in the coffee grounds. This keeps the soil fully moist but not disturbing it very much so the element of time when brewing is enough._7_ I happened to find that a small glass spice jar works well for dipping and fits snugly in the filter. . That way I can push the bottom about half an inch below the water level so the entire bottom is submerged._8_ Then I put it in the fridge. Yes. Cooler. Why do you ask? Spring. While a cold drink in the fridge is the traditional route, it also takes longer. I'm very patient and I find that a little more heat can deliver a faster, but potentially better brew. So I set the temperature in the radiator to about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Unlike 45 degrees in the fridge. "Room temperature" might work. I just haven't tried it yet. And all of this can change depending on what kind of coffee beans you use in the first place._9_ Now. time element. Be patient. 24/7 brewing is awesome! However, if you want a faster brew, use a larger grind and warmer temperature. But maybe it's less like a cold drink? I let it steep for 12 to 24 hours. Now that it's brewed._10_ If you want to enjoy it, be sure to stir it. Halfway through the brew I pour a cup very slowly and then pour it back into the canister. Because even after the full brew, the top half can still be mostly water. That way I can blend it without shaking the grind too much and without losing any of the fine grind in the mix. However, this allows for a more consistent color from top to bottom._11_ Now. Just take out the filter. Bring back the top and lid. Then refrigerate for 30-40 minutes or simply pour over ice and enjoy. If you don't want a diluted drink, next time use some brewed coffee to turn it into ice cubes. ;)_11.5_ Maybe, like me, you want a little sweeter taste. i love cute But when you taste your favorite concoction, try not to use the sweetener. I found this not to be as necessary as you might think. Treat yourself to the chance to simply enjoy your coffee with less or no sugar. And you will discover and savor the pleasant, mild yet rich aroma and flavor that naturally comes with cold beer. It can be an easy taste to love him. But an acquired taste for love. You can all comment on my post. These are just my conclusions. But I hope you like it too. Hooray!
