six cups a day
Found that a 12 hour cold brew yields a coffee with very mellow/smooth flavor. Same idea as drip coffee with hot water (slow vs. fast extraction for the chemical engineers out there), but it seems to extract less acid, break down the complex coffee flavor less
I make a concentrate in a french press in the evening, press and pour it into a travel mug in the morning.
Add boiling water to bring the heat up and adjust strength.
In the summer time add ice water for a great iced coffee.
Cold press avoids changing the coffee chemicals that we have learned to love...

Thanks. That sounds useful. Can you describe the process a bit more and include your 'recipe' for the cold press?
