Welcome, coffee enthusiasts! If you're a fan of cold brew coffee, you're in for a treat. Making cold brew in a French press is not just easy but also a delightful journey into the world of rich, smooth coffee. Let's dive into how you can transform your kitchen into a barista's paradise, starting with your beloved French press.

The Basics of French Press Coffee

What exactly is a French press? Originating from France, it's a classic coffee brewing device known for its simplicity and ability to extract deep flavors. Unlike other brewing methods, a French press requires no electricity, making it perfect for cold brew creations.

Why Cold Brew?

Why choose cold brew over traditional hot coffee? Firstly, cold brew is less acidic, which means it's smoother and gentler on the stomach. Plus, its flavor profile is unique – rich, nuanced, and less bitter. It's a refreshing alternative, especially during those warm months.

Choosing the Right Coffee Beans

Selecting the right beans is crucial. For cold brew, look for beans with a balanced flavor profile. We recommend exploring Aerial Resupply Coffee's premium roasted coffee collection to find your perfect match.

The Cold Brew Process in a French Press

To start, you'll need coarsely ground coffee beans and cold water. The general ratio is 1:7 – one part coffee to seven parts water. Add the coffee grounds to your French press, pour in cold water, stir gently, and let it steep overnight in your fridge. In the morning, press down the plunger, and voilà, your cold brew is ready!

Customizing Your Cold Brew

Now, let's get creative! Experiment with different brewing times or add-ins like vanilla or cinnamon. Personalize your cold brew to suit your taste – maybe even try making coffee ice cubes for an extra kick!

Serving Suggestions for Cold Brew

Cold brew is versatile. Serve it over ice for a classic experience, or add a splash of milk for a creamy delight. Hosting a brunch? Mix cold brew with a bit of sparkling water for a unique and refreshing coffee soda.

The Health Benefits of Cold Brew Coffee

Not only is cold brew delicious, but it's also packed with health benefits. It contains less caffeine per cup than hot coffee, which means you can enjoy your brew without the jitters. Plus, the low acidity is kinder to your digestive system.
