FAQs

How long does cold brew take to make?

Steep coarse-ground coffee in cold water for 12–24 hours in the fridge or at room temperature. Strain and dilute with water or milk; keeps for several days.

What is the best cheap cold brew maker in the UK?

A large jar with a mesh filter or a simple jug system (e.g. Hario, Bodum) costs £15–£35 on Amazon UK. No need for an expensive setup.

Can I use any coffee for cold brew?

Yes. Coarse grind is best to avoid over-extraction. Medium or dark roasts are popular; experiment with your favourite beans.
