K.D. writes: “I had never made cold brew coffee before, wanted to so badly but was nervous to – that I would waste the coffee. This looked easy enough. I tried it and LOVED it! It’s a weekly staple in my house now (while it’s still warm outside)!”
Rosie writes: “We used to make cold brew using special filters, but then found a pitcher with the filter inside for making cold brew.

Cold Brew Coffee Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ground Coffee
- 4 cups Cold Water {use filtered water for best flavor}
Instructions
- Add coffee grounds and water to an airtight pitcher, stir, and place in the refrigerator overnight to steep. For the smoothest flavor, you'll want to steep around 18 - 20 hours.
- After your coffee has finished steeping, pour Coffee slowly through Coffee Filter before serving. This process will take several minutes… but I promise it’s worth it!!
- For stability, I placed my Coffee Filter in a Small Colander. You could also use a Mesh Strainer instead of a coffee filter.
- Once the coffee has dripped through, you're ready to enjoy!
What You’ll Need To Make This Cold Brew Coffee Recipe:
Mini Colander
Plastic Pitchers
Basket Coffee Filters
Your Favorite Blend Ground Coffee
Now that was easy, wasn’t it? Just pour into your favorite glass or Mason Jar, add a little cream, and sip away!

Thanks Heidi, I didn’t realise it was so easy to make cold brew! I’m off to make this now, but before I go I just wanted to say thanks, and that I will look through the other coffee recipes, they look great!
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Angela! Yes… cold brew coffee is really a cinch to make. Enjoy! 😉
Cindy says
I have been making this for months… love it!! They do make “filter bags” for this process, but instead of purchasing one of those I use knee highs. Yes, I said knee highs. I bought a package of the cheapies, washed them by hand and let them dry. I put the coffee grounds into a knee high and drop that into the pitcher of water (I stretch the top over the mouth of the pitcher then put the lid on so the “bag” is kind of suspended in the water). After 24 hours, I just have to remove the bag – Done! No waiting for the straining! I then dump out the used grounds, rinse out the knee high and let it dry.
Jill says
I use knee highs too! Glad to see that I’m not the only one!
