So a colleague in office told me that he likes cold brew coffee. I had tried one in Starbucks but was not really impressed by it so I dismissed it as some hipster brewing method for people with too much time. However, I also know this colleague of mine to have quite a distinguished palate - at least for coffee. So if he said cold brew is good, then it must be good. Perhaps the one in Starbucks had not been up to my standard, so I thought I'll try to brew one myself.
The brewing instrument I use this time is a Hario Mizudashi pot. I bought this pot in Batam 6 years ago and used it to brew tea instead.... Well, now I use it to brew coffee.
As for the coffee itself, I used 100% Java Arabica at 100 grams. The ground has to be medium coarse. A good reason for a medium coarse ground is so that the water can pass through the ground coffee and then through the filter when you pour it in. Coffee connoisseurs might say that it is for better taste and less grimy final solution (whether coarse or fine you'll still see some sludge deposit at the bottom of the container). Well, I'll just say use medium coarse ground and let it stay at that.
