Interesting article and photo of the coolest apparatus I've ever seen for making cold brew:http://www.parispatisseries.com/2011/10/19/coutume-cafe/Going to put this cafe on my list of 'must see' places for the next time I'm in Paris. [stopping to laugh hysterically at that statement] Actually, my daughter and her fiance (well, they are pushing up their wedding date, so by that time he might be her *husband!!* Woo-hoo!!!) plan to live in Italy for 6 months next year. I, despite my lack of funds, intend to visit her (trying to get work right now to save money for this). If I get there as I plan (that alone seems like a dream come true for me!) then there's nothing stopping me from adding Paris for a few days to my agenda. Wow. I can't believe I just said that...

Blue Bottle is famous for spending exorbitant amounts of money on brewi= ng equipment. Simply do a Google search for "blue bottle cold brew" and = you'll get plenty of images of cold brew towers much closer to home.

What is is about cold brew that allows the coffee to sit so long? I am usu= ally not too eager to drink the leftovers from yesterday's drip pot. -Mike --- On Mon, 10/24/11, Bryan, Compass Coffee wrote: <Snip> t, available athttp://www.sweetmarias.com/maillistinfo.html" <Snip> <Snip> <Snip> html" <Snip> <Snip> <Snip> <Snip> <Snip> <Snip> <Snip> <Snip> mariascoffee.com <Snip> ee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=7820 <Snip> mariascoffee.com <Snip> ee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=7820 <Snip> Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/mailman/listinfo/homeroast_lists.sweetma=riascoffee.com Homeroast community pictures -upload yours!) :http://www.sweetmariascoffee=.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=7820 |
Mike, I agree - yuck - but a cold brew is different. Sweet Maria's had a page mentioning it when I put in my last order - it might be on the site if you do a search. The way I do it (mostly in the summer when we want iced coffee - or if I have an almost ruined batch I don't want to waste!) is, using a mason jar, mix about 1/4 of the jar with ground homeroast, then fill to the top w/cold water. Cover, shake every now & then, and let sit at least overnight - sometimes longer. I like my coffee strong - and this, believe me, is super-concentrated. You have to dilute it w/more water. The general conclusion in previous discussions was that the subtle flavors don't come through - but it *is* a great way to brew coffee that turns out a bit bitter (like a messed up roast - but not totally messed up, speaking in scientific terms, that is...). You don't, by any means, need a super expensive impressive looking Blue Bottle contraption. Unless, of course, you're in Paris... ;-D Lynne On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 4:52 PM, michael kaericher wrote: <Snip> Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/mailman/listinfo/homeroast_lists.sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures -upload yours!) :http://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
