Components

Your County Line Kitchen Cold Brew Coffee Maker consists of three primary components:

• Leak-Proof Lid with Handle: An innovative flip-cap pour spout lid with an integrated handle for easy pouring and secure sealing.

Setup and Operating Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your cold brew coffee:

1. Insert Filter: Place the mesh stainless steel filter into the wide-mouth glass Mason jar.
2. Add Coffee Grounds: Fill the filter with your desired amount of coarse coffee grounds. The amount can be adjusted based on your preferred strength.
3. Add Cold Water: Slowly pour cold water over the coffee grounds in the filter until the jar is filled to your desired level. Ensure all grounds are saturated.
4. Seal and Steep: Securely place the leak-proof lid with handle onto the Mason jar. Place the sealed jar in your refrigerator.
5. Brewing Time: Allow the coffee to steep for 12 to 24 hours, depending on how strong you prefer your cold brew. Longer steeping times result in a stronger concentrate.
6. Remove Filter: Once brewing is complete, remove the lid and carefully lift out the mesh filter, discarding the used coffee grounds.
7. Serve: Your cold brew concentrate is now ready. Dilute with water, milk, or ice to taste.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your cold brew coffee maker, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Coffee Grounds in Brew: Ensure the mesh filter is properly seated and not overfilled. Fine grounds may sometimes pass through; using coarse grounds is recommended for cold brew.
• Weak Cold Brew: Increase the amount of coffee grounds or extend the steeping time (up to 24 hours). Ensure the water fully saturates the grounds.
• Difficulty Pouring: Check that the flip-cap spout on the lid is fully open. Ensure the lid is securely fastened to the jar.
• Lid Leaks: Verify that the lid is tightly screwed onto the jar and that the silicone seal (if present) is correctly positioned.
