Cold Brew Coffee @ Home

We have this system and we love it.

I use it around once a week-- it's super easy and the coffee tastes great. Plus, it comes with lots of extra filters and plugs. Highly recommend.

My husband makes it in our French press. Coarse ground coffee is key.
how to make cold brew at home

Find a decent tea diffuser online and use it in a large stadium cop for 24 hours. Repeat.

I've been using Kirkland brand coffee steeped in mason jars and poured into regular funnel with a coffee filter inside. The grind is fine, so the coffee takes a little longer to filter. I can usually filter two quart mason jars in thirty minutes while playing with my daughter or giving her nightly bath.

$14 on Amazon. You're welcome.

I have this Hario, and I also have a Toddy. The Hario is a little easier to use, but the Toddy makes better coffee, and more concentrate. Toddy also requires filters you have to buy, but they last a few months.

Bumping to ask a question: I’m a fan of cold brews from several places in New Orleans and Baton Rouge... Mojo, Sacred Grinds, Highland Coffee and even CC’s....
But I moved to Colorado, and have found a lack of decent cold brew and have been trying to brew myself.
Is it common for the places above to use chicory? Are there any additional ingredients that should be used? I have not been able to get the recipe right when home brewing. I specifically tried to mimic CC’s as it seemed like it would be easiest. But their home brew kit does not taste like the restuarant version.
