How many of you have tried cold brewing? I just got a Kitchenaid cold brewer and I have the first batch brewing. In 12 hours or so I'll know.

Not yet, sons been trying to talk me into one.
Let us know the results...

I have an old cold brewer for years and periodically run a batch through it. I've generally gone with a 24-hour soak. While it can be a very strong cup of coffee if you use more than the recommended amount after awhile I found that I did miss the oils and slightly bitter taste that hot brewed coffee gives. I found it most useful in recipes that call for coffee, like in some rye or pumpernickel loaves of bread.
Did it for years. Big bowl, ground coffee, water to suit, refrigerate for a day. Make strong! Add water to taste, when heating the brew.

I though of it as a dedicated ice coffee maker.
After 20 hours about 3 Oz concentrate to 9 Oz water and it did make the tastiest ice coffee I've had in a very long time.

So admittedly I am more of a tea fanatic as most know but I do enjoy a good cup of coffee as well. I recently had bought a Mr. Coffee maker and a new french press(both 2 cuppers) and i do like French press but a recent misshap with a former FP had led me to get frustrated and get the Mr. Coffee . Well........I watched two videos tonight that have changed my coffee viewpoint and I tried the first method(cowboy style) this morning with wonderful success . I have a feeling the coffee maker may see the dumpster soon and an Ibrik may appear in the near future......Hmmmm . I did not have a coffee boiler but used a saucepan for the cowboy coffee...no problem ! Guess this just proves that low tech is sometimes the best tech........just like straight razors .:o
