If you haven't tried cold brewing your coffee yet, you should. Its a game changer! You whip up a big jar on weekend and you have your smooth and perfect coffee ready in the refrigerator for a week or two. Use it for hot or cold drink. Saves tons of time plus coffee brewed this way is less bitter and acidic.
illy cold brew way of making coffee is extremely easy. You basically add your coffee and water to the cold brew maker and let it steep for 12-24 hours, filter and you have your cold brewed coffee concentrate ready.
