As we all know, the preparation of cold brew coffee is very simple and has the lowest requirements. Just a clean container is enough. For example, a French press is a particularly convenient one. Below, Front Street will show you how to use a French press to make a delicious cup of cold brew coffee~
Advantages of French Press
The French press coffee extraction method is immersion! There are two benefits of immersion extraction. The first is that it has a relatively high error tolerance rate. During the soaking process, when the concentration of coffee and liquid becomes consistent, the escape rate of substances in the coffee will slow down, so even if the parameters we use are extreme, we don’t have to worry too much about the problem of over-extraction of the coffee.
The second is that there is no need for any rigorous water filling method. Making a good cup of coffee is as easy as making a cup of tea. We only need to set the parameters, then pour water and coffee powder into the pot for soaking. When the time is up, you can filter out a cup of delicious coffee.
What kind of coffee beans are suitable for French press cold brew coffee?
To be honest, just like other extraction methods, all coffee beans are suitable for making cold brew coffee, but to make it taste good, Front Street believes that you still need to put some thought into it.
When making cold brew coffee, Front Street will give priority to beans with floral and fruit flavors. They are usually light to medium roasted and have floral aroma and sour and sweet fruit. It is recommended to buy Front Street Oiran Coffee, Front Street Red Cherry Coffee, and Front Street Fruit Dingding Coffee. If you prefer those with obvious juice flavor, we recommend Choose beans with rich fruity tones such as Front Street Strawberry Sugar Coffee, Front Street Cherry Tomato Coffee, and Front Street Mozart Coffee; if you like a mellow taste, it is recommended to choose Front Street Queen’s Manor Coffee and Front Street Cymbidium Coffee. All of the above can be ordered at the Front Street Tmall flagship store or Front Street Taobao store.
How to make cold brew coffee with a French press?
Generally speaking, the amount of coffee powder used depends on how much coffee liquid we want to extract, and here we also need to consider the capacity of the French press. The capacity of the French press purchased on Front Street Street is about 300ml. If the powder to water ratio is 1:10, it can hold 30g of coffee powder. To make French press cold brew coffee, we use Front Street strawberry sugar coffee beans. This is a Costa Rican specialty coffee with the aroma of strawberry fudge, berries, dried grapes, and nuts, and is suitable for a variety of extraction methods.
Cold brew coffee is a very easy way to master. The cold brew method of FrontStreet Coffee is based on 1:10. Then prepare 30g of Front Street Strawberry Candy coffee beans and pass the No. 20 standard sieve with a passing rate of 85%.ThicknessGrind into powder。
Put the coffee powder into the French press, add 300 ml of room temperature water, then use a stir stick to stir the coffee powder and water evenly, then seal and place in the refrigerator.
After placing it in the refrigerator for 8-16 hours, pull out the filter and filter the large coffee grounds. Then prepare a filter paper to remove the fine coffee powder to get clean coffee liquid, which can then be drunk. If you feel that the taste is too strong, it is recommended to add a small amount of ice cubes to dilute it. You can also use a clean sealed bottle to put the coffee liquid in and refrigerate it for about 4 hours before drinking. The taste will be sweeter and mellower.
Cold brew coffee can be sealed and stored in the refrigerator for 5 days after filtering. Although it is said that the flavor of cold brew coffee will be more mellow the longer it is stored, after all, the refrigerator environment is "complex" (especially household refrigerators), and it is difficult to completely avoid the invasion of bacteria. Moreover, every time we check in, it means that air has a chance to enter, so for the sake of everyone's health, Front Street does not recommend leaving it for a week or even a month before drinking it.
