Perfect Homemade Cold Brew French Press Coffee

Making perfect homemade cold brew coffee concentrate is easy when you use a French press!

Start with coarsely ground coffee beans. This slows the rate of extraction for the long brew time.

Pour the coarsely ground coffee into a French press.

I'm using a 4 cup Bodum French press.

Fill the French press halfway with cool water, then stir to hydrate the coffee.

Fill the French press the rest of the way with water. Leave enough room for the lid and filter.

Place the whole French press in the fridge overnight (12-24 hours) to brew.

In the morning, push down the plunger and pour the cold brew into a carafe or jar.

This is a super concentrated cold brew — serve it a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio mixed with cold or hot water, milk, creamer, etc!
