Hope you’re having a great day. Thanks. I wonder, though, why you seem to think ‘cold brewed coffee’ is really cold coffee. You’re not alone, I’ll add. Many commentators seem to share that assumption. Maybe because you can buy ‘cold brew’ coffee in bottles and cans at your local grocery on the refrigerated shelves alongside the soda and water. Yes, you add as an afterthought that one does not have to drink it cold. Still, the overall impression is that ‘cold brew’ is pretty much synonymous with cold/iced coffee, just made differently than simply dropping ice cubes into hot brewed coffee.

I drink my cold brew every morning piping hot, just like ‘real coffee’. Even in the summer! I have a single burner Bunn hot plate and a very nice Bunn carafe for the prep. I steep coffee grounds for 36 hours. I started at 12 hours, then 16, then 24 and finally 36 hours. I brew 2-liter batches of concentrate and have experimented with many different water/concentrate ratios.

So I’m a happy camper. Cheers.
