When warming it for hot coffee i often add a splash of water to dilute the coffee before warming. Coffee brewed slowly in cold water is less acidic than hot brewed. Cold brewed coffee is actually dirt simple to make at home using a mason jar and a sieve you just add water to coffee stir cover it and leave it out on the counter overnight a quick two step filtering the next day strain the grounds through a sieve and use a coffee filter to pick up silt a dilution of the brew one to one with water and you re done. There is an art involved when one wants to make cold brewed coffee. You ll end up with about 4 1 4 cups concentrate or enough for 8 1 2 cups of cold brew.
The difference in flavour between the two methods is immense. You follow the same method for making the coffee either way and then either serve it over ice or warm it up in the microwave for a hot cup. Cold brewing takes away a lot of the bitterness and acidity you get with a normal brew so it is a lot more drinkable and a lot more gentle on those sensitive bellies. If you have an extra large french press like i do you can use 5 ounces of coffee about 1 1 4 cups whole coffee beans turned into about 2 1 2 cups coarsely ground coffee and 5 cups water.
