Operating Instructions: Making Cold Brew

Follow these steps to prepare your cold brew coffee:

1. Add Coffee Grounds: Place the stainless steel filter into the clean 64 oz glass mason jar. Fill the filter with coarse ground coffee. The recommended ratio of coffee grounds to water is 1:5 to 1:12, adjustable to personal preference.
2. Add Water: Slowly pour cold, filtered water over the coffee grounds in the filter until the jar is almost full, ensuring the grounds are fully saturated.
3. Seal and Steep: Securely screw the pour spout handle lid onto the mason jar. Ensure the lid is airtight to prevent spills and maintain freshness.
4. Refrigerate: Place the sealed jar in the refrigerator. Allow the coffee to steep for 24 to 48 hours for a smoother, less acidic taste. Steeping at room temperature for 12-24 hours is also an option.
5. Remove Filter: Once steeping is complete, unscrew the lid and carefully remove the stainless steel filter containing the used coffee grounds. Discard the grounds.
6. Serve: Re-seal the jar with the lid. Your cold brew concentrate is now ready to serve. Pour directly from the spout into your glass.

Troubleshooting

• Weak Cold Brew: If your cold brew is too weak, try increasing the coffee-to-water ratio or extending the steeping time (up to 48 hours in the refrigerator). Ensure you are using coarse ground coffee.
• Bitter Taste: Cold brew is naturally less acidic. If you experience bitterness, ensure you are using cold water and not over-steeping beyond 48 hours.
• Grounds in Brew: The 160 micron mesh filter is designed to prevent grounds. Ensure the filter is properly seated and not damaged.
• Lid Leakage: Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and the silicone sealing ring is correctly positioned and free from debris.
