Why Should You Make French Press Coffee?

Additionally, cold brewing your coffee can save you money in the long run. Because it’s more concentrated than hot coffee, you can use fewer coffee grounds to make the same amount of liquid. This means you’ll need to buy less coffee overall, which is great for both your wallet and the environment.

Another benefit of cold brewing your coffee is that it’s incredibly easy to do at home. All you need is some coarsely ground coffee beans, water, and a container to brew it in. Simply mix the coffee and water, let it steep for 12–24 hours in the fridge, and then strain out the grounds. Voilà! You have delicious organic cold brew coffee ready to drink.

In conclusion, organic cold brew coffee is a tasty and healthy alternative to traditional hot coffee. It’s easy to make at home, environmentally friendly, and has many benefits worth considering.

 How To Use A French Press

What you need to make it:

  • 1 French coffee press, for this recipe I’m using this Zwilling French press
  • 300g organic arabica coffee
  • 500ml filtered organic water

Instructions:

First, bring the 500ml filtered water to a boil. Add the loose organic coffee to the French press so that the bottom is covered. Then fill it up with 500ml of filtered hot water. Make circular movements, hence everything is covered with water.

Now comes the interesting part. I always love to watch this one. You now slowly press the water down until you reach the bottom of the French Press. You let this steep for about 1 hour.

Pro-tip: The longer the coffee brews, the stronger it gets. In the same fashion, you can steep it longer if you like it stronger.
The taste will balance out nicely in the end as the oat milk is added.

Now your cold brew coffee is ready! Enjoy!

How To Choose The Best Cold Brew Coffee Maker?

For my recipe on hand, I use this Zwilling French Press, Zwilling is a German culinary brand that stands for quality. Furthermore, I trust their high-quality products like this French press. It has a modern style and gets the job done perfectly. The taste of this French press is impeccable! (link Zwilling French press)

How to Serve Cold-Brewed Coffee?

Cold-brew coffee can be served in a variety of ways. Some people prefer it over ice with a splash of milk or cream, while others enjoy it straight up. You can also add flavorings like vanilla extract or cinnamon for an extra kick.

One popular way to serve organic cold brew coffee is by making it into a latte. Simply mix equal parts cold brew coffee and your choice of milk (oat milk works great!) and sweeten to taste with honey or maple syrup. Pour over ice and enjoy!

Another idea is to use organic cold brew coffee as a base for smoothies or protein shakes. Combine cold brew coffee with your favorite fruits, protein powder, and nut butter for a delicious and energizing drink.

In conclusion, organic cold brew coffee is a versatile and tasty beverage that can be enjoyed in many ways. Whether you prefer it straight up or mixed with other ingredients, there’s no denying the health benefits and delicious flavor of this refreshing drink.

Additional Tips

When making organic cold-brew coffee, it’s important to use high-quality ingredients. Look for organic, fair-trade coffee beans and filtered water to ensure that your drink is as pure and healthy as possible. You can also experiment with different types of coffee beans and brewing methods to find the perfect combination for your taste buds

Another tip is to store your cold brew coffee in a sealed container in the fridge. This will keep it fresh for up to two weeks, allowing you to enjoy a delicious cup of cold brew whenever you want.

Lastly, don’t be afraid to get creative with your organic cold-brew coffee! Add spices like cardamom or ginger, or try sweetening it with agave nectar instead of sugar. The possibilities are endless when it comes to this flavorful and refreshing beverage.

In summary, making organic cold brew coffee at home is easy, affordable, and environmentally friendly. With its many health benefits and delicious flavor options, there’s no reason not to give it a try today!

How Much Organic Cold Brew Coffee Should I Drink Per Day?

I think that coffee intake varies from person to person. Of course, it also depends on the coffee bean.  For example, Black Insomnia Coffee is the strongest coffee bean in the world. With 237 milligrams of caffeine per 100 milliliters, the caffeine content is significantly higher than Death Wish coffee.

Therefore, it depends on the bean, but I do not recommend consuming more than 2 cups (0.47 l) per day.

Can I Freeze Cold Brew Coffee?

When I make a larger supply of cold brew coffee, I often freeze the rest into small ice cubes.
That way I can be sustainable and use the ice cubes when I need them.
I use cubes like this. Read my oat milk ice cube recipe here!

How long can I freeze my cold brew coffee cubes?

You can easily keep them in your fridge for 3 months because they don’t go bad.

Pro-tip: Make sure there is no refrigerator freeze. To prevent this, the container in which the cubes are stored should be hermetically sealed. This frost can affect the taste of organic coffee.
