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.
