Introduction

For coffee lovers, few things beat the refreshing taste of cold brew. With its smoother, less acidic flavor, cold brew has become increasingly popular over the last few years. But cold brew can be time-consuming and messy to make at home. That's where the cold brew jug comes in.

Cold Brew Tips for the Best Flavor

Follow these tips for smooth, flavorful cold brew every time:

• Use a coarse coffee grind to allow water to fully extract flavor from the grounds.

• Keep steeping time between 12-24 hours. Too little time produces weak flavor. Too much time makes it bitter.

• Store cold brew concentrate in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

• Dilute concentrate with a 1:1 ratio of water or milk over ice. Adjust to taste.

• Experiment with different coffee beans and ratios to find your perfect brew.

Creative Ways to Enjoy Cold Brew

While simple black cold brew is delicious, the concentrate also shines in many creative recipes:

Iced Vanilla Latte

Mix cold brew concentrate with milk, ice, and vanilla syrup for a frosty, caffeinated treat.

Cold Brew Protein Shake

Blend cold brew, protein powder, banana, ice, peanut butter, and chocolate syrup for a nutritious breakfast smoothie.

Cold Brew Old Fashioned

For an alcoholic twist, combine bourbon, cold brew concentrate, and orange bitters over ice for a chilled cocktail.

Cold Brew Float

Top a glass of cold brew with a big scoop of ice cream for a fun spin on the classic rootbeer float.

FAQ

How is cold brew different from iced coffee?

Iced coffee is regular hot brewed coffee that has been cooled down then served over ice. Cold brew involves steeping coffee grounds in room temperature or cold water for 12-24 hours. This long steeping time results in a smoother, sweeter flavor lacking the acidity of regular coffee.

Can you make cold brew with a French press?

Yes, a French press works great for cold brew. Simply add coarse ground coffee and cold water to the beaker and store in the fridge overnight. Then slowly press down the plunger to filter out the grounds.

How long does cold brew last?

The concentrate will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Once diluted with water or milk, cold brew is best consumed within 3-4 days.

Is cold brew higher in caffeine than regular coffee?

It actually contains less! The cold brew process only extracts about 70% of the caffeine that hot brewing does. A cup of cold brew has roughly 100 mg caffeine compared to up to 200 mg for regular coffee.

What size cold brew jug should I get?

The 2 liter 2xespresso jug makes enough concentrate for 20 standard cups of cold brew. Great for individuals or households that drink 1-2 cups per day. Larger 3-5 liter options work well for heavier coffee drinkers or offices.

With its rich, smooth taste and incredible versatility, cold brew has become a coffee lover's obsession. The 2xespresso Cold Brew Jug provides an easy, mess-free way to craft delicious cold brew from the comfort of your own kitchen. Just chill, dilute, and sip your way to coffee heaven.
