How to make it
Combine the coarsely ground coffee and cold filtered water in a large glass jar or pitcher. Stir once with a long spoon to ensure all grounds are wet — any dry clumps floating on top will not extract. Cover loosely with a lid or cloth and refrigerate for 18–24 hours. Do not stir again during steeping.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl or second pitcher and line it with a paper coffee filter or two layers of cheesecloth. Pour the cold brew slowly and let gravity do the work — do not press or squeeze the grounds. The first pour may take 10 minutes. Discard the spent grounds. Transfer the concentrate to a sealed glass bottle and refrigerate.
