going on vacay for 2 weeks gonna try to brew with this
OXO Brew Portable Rapid Coffee Brewer | Reusable Filter, Small, Quick Brew in 5 Minutes or Less, Easy-Clean Carafe, Hot or Cold apparently it's some weird tech that only brews at 1bar and can make concentrated shots. i haven't used it (didn't even technically get it) and i have no idea where my hand grinder is either so i'll have to nab something quick

Coffee bros help me out. I've never been a coffee person, though i do like the occasional cup with a bit of sugar. I keep a Keurig at home more for guests than for myself. A big part of it has to do with not liking hot beverages in general. Lately I've gotten in the habit of grabbing cold brew at a local shop and really want to explore how to integrate that into my morning routine (without the stop and cost every morning). eli5 cold brew at home. I'm hearing I should pickup the OXO cold brew on amazon, a whatever cheap grinder, and bag of cheap medium roast from costco (cold brew uses more beans than hot? and less forgiving of cheap beans?). Steep for 12 hours then fridge the carafe. In the morning pour 6oz into a travel mug with another 6oz of cold water and a shot of creamer, all over ice.
That somehow doesn't sound right to me but what the hell do i know. Let me know your thoughts!

There’s a couple different methods for cold brew. Either you make the concentrate and dilute, or you do the slow drip Kyoto method. Or you’re lazy and make an iced americano. Which would involve getting an espresso machine or similar and putting some shots in ice water.

It might be cold-brew sacrilege, but if you just don't like hot things, make hot coffee and put it in the fridge? Not sure why, but I've never liked cold brews, but cold coffee that was hot brewed is still good.
