|  INTRODUCTION TO COLD BREWING

COLD BREWED COFFEE 

The classic cold brew coffee brewing method uses coarsely 

ground coffee steeped in cold water over a period of  

12-24 hours. This no-heat brew method produces a smooth, 

balanced flavour that’s less bitter.
The KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker makes roughly 

840 mL of coffee concentrate. 
To serve your cold brew beverage, we recommend using  

a 1:3 coffee to water/milk ratio. This means you add 1 part 

coffee concentrate to 3 parts water or milk. 

Example of recommended  

coarsely ground coffee.

INTRODUCTION TO COLD BREWING

COLD BREWED TEA 

The Cold Brew Coffee Maker can also be used to make tea concentrate (approximately 

960-1020 mL). Cold brewed tea is steeped in cold water over a period of 6-12 hours. 
To serve your tea beverage, we recommend using a 1:7 tea to water ratio. This means  

you add 1 part tea concentrate to 7 parts water. 
Enjoy your cold brew tea the way you like by mixing concentrate with ice, water, milk,  

or sweeteners.

TIP:

 The longer you steep and the more tea you use, the more bitter the tea  

will become.
