Sous Vide "Cold Brew" Coffee

This sous vide method mimics the traditional time-consuming method of making cold-brew coffee in the fridge, but in 2 hours instead of 24! The warm water temperature is kept low enough to speed up the cold-brew process, but not hot enough to release the bitter, acidic flavors you get from hot-brewed drip coffee. The result is a super smooth brew that you'll want to make again and again. Use your favorite fresh-ground coffee for best results.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee

  • 4 (16-ounce) Mason jars

  • 8 cups water

Directions

  1. Place 1/4 cup ground coffee into each jar; top each with 2 cups water. Screw on lids until just barely tightened; do not overtighten.

  2. Fill a large pot with enough water to completely cover jars; place a sous vide immersion cooker into water. Set temperature to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

  3. Submerge jars in the water bath; set timer for 2 hours.

  4. Transfer jars to a cooling rack; cool until easily handled. Strain coffee through a coffee filter to stop the steeping process.

  5. Serve coffee over ice or return strained coffee to clean jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Recipe Tips

Feel free to use any size jars, but keep the 1:8 coffee to water ratio in mind. For a 32-ounce quart-size jar, use 1/2 cup coffee grounds and 4 cups water.

For a lighter brew, set timer for 1 1/2 hours. For a more concentrated brew, set timer for 2 1/2 hours.
