Yea, and the best part is he does do some bartering.

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.

I usually let mine go 18 to 24 hours.

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.

Best recipe ever for iced coffee. Think I'll pull my set-up out when it gets hot and cool the heat away.
