He was astonished to discover that by using the AeroPress, you can cut your cold brewing time down to about two minutes with full flavored results”!

The Secret behind this recipe

“How can the AeroPress make cold brew in a couple minutes when other devices take hours? The key is the long stir time and using a fine grind of coffee. Optimizing the contact between the surface of the coffee grounds and the water quickly enables delicious flavor extraction from the grounds. It's harder to extract flavor using tap water but the brisk one minute stir overcomes that challenge.

One more benefit: This cold brew recipe means you can use your AeroPress to brew a delicious coffee beverage even when you don't have access to hot water”!
