Ready-to-drink cold brew doesn't require any dilution and can be consumed right away. It's usually lighter in color, and the strength and flavor are more reminiscent of tea. It's a more bright and refreshing drink, whereas concentrate offers a more full-flavored, dark, intense product. Most cold-brew devices are advertised as producing either concentrate or ready-to-drink, but some are flexible enough to do both. In those instances, you can increase the strength of the coffee and create a concentrate by using less water and steeping for longer. Cons: Makes less cold brew than other brewers, the metal filter allows more sediment than paper or felt filters You’ve mastered the basics of brewing with your Coffee Gator system.

Whether starting your day or taking a refreshing afternoon break, your Coffee Gator Cold Brew is your trusted companion for a delightful coffee experience. Storage and Maintenance: Keeping Your Coffee Gator Cold Brew Experience Fresh Paper and felt filters tend to filter out more of the fine solids than metal or mesh filters, and a finer grind will pass through more than a coarse one.Too much sediment makes a silty, cloudy cup of coffee, which is not desirable with cold brew.Of course, there are exceptions. Some brewers I tested, like the Cuisinart Automatic, respond well to a finer grind because of the shorter extraction time needed.There is no denying that the Coffee Gator is an expensive French press. For the cost of one Gator, you can buy two French presses. And when I say you can buy two, I mean two of the same volume as the Gator in either borosilicate glass or steel (single or double-walled!). The major factor to consider with the grind size is filtration. A finer grind can turn muddy over a long brew time, making it more difficult for the water to pass through the grounds during filtration. Helfen said, "Most folks grind coarser for cold brew because of the long brew time and because filtering the liquid out of the grounds doesn't take as long." Coarse grind size — similar to what you'd use for a French press — is usually recommended for cold brew, and what I used in testing. Regardless of the above options, our beginners’ recommendation would be to keep things simple, and to be able to compare it easily to your hot brews of the same coffee. It is very very interesting and highly recommended to do a side by side of your cold brew result next to a hot brew of the same recipe, filtered the same way using all of the same ‘variables’ in a controlled way. For this we say use a ratio of 1 part coffee to 16 parts water (or 60g coffee per litre of water). This is at a coarse grind setting for a cafetiere, and would be brewed for 12-18 hours. Why the range of times? We’re well aware that everybody brews their cafetieres differently, and that’s a story for another day.

Retrieved from https://perfectdailygrind.com/2018/11/should-you-grind-finer-for-better-french-press-coffee/ Once your Coffee Gator system is set up and your coffee-to-water ratio is on point, it’s time to be patient. Cold brew is a slow and steady affair. Place your setup in the fridge and let it steep for about 12 to 24 hours. The longer it brews, the stronger and richer the flavor. However, stay within 24 hours, as over-brewing can lead to bitterness.High quality, durable flip cap lid handle. The addition of a handle to our flip cap lid means that you can easily decant your coffee or tea from the jar. The cap lifts open and stays open to allow you to pour out your brew. The high quality seal means you will never have a leak! If you like a fruity coffee usually, we recommend either our coffee from Colombia for cold brewing.
