best cold brew coffee ovalware

 85 g coarsely ground coffee (or ¾ cup of whole coffee beans turned into about 1 ½ cups coarsely-ground coffee)
 380 g high-quality water

Instructions
1

Grind the 85 grams of coffee beans if using whole beans to a coarse grind. Place all of the grounds in the filter basket of your brewing vessel.

2

Place your filter basket properly into the brewing vessel so that you have a place to pour the water. Most cold brew coffee makers will have you place the basket inside of a glass/plastic carafe.

3

Slowly pour the water over the grounds about 1/2 cup at a time. It's best to allow the water to seep through the grounds completely and then you can add more water. Continue until you've poured all 380 grams over the grounds.

4

Let the brew steep on the countertop for 12 hours. If placing in the fridge for steeping, let it steep for 15 to 18 hours.

5

Once steeping is complete, remove the filter basket and discard the grounds (or repurpose them as compost!). Pour your cold brew into a glass, and add water and/or milk to dilute the cold brew concentrate if necessary. Finish it off with cold brew coffee ice cubes if desired!

Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous K Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous Kringle with Gesha Coffee 

While some of us are familiar with wine and cheese pairings, most of us are not as familiar with coffee and food pairings (and I don’t know about you, but I tend to enjoy this combo much more frequently than the former). 

As a tribute to my home state, I attempted to make kringle, and I’ve discovered it’s a lot harder than it looks. The one pictured is actually a kringle from an authentic Danish bakery in WI because my first attempts have yet to be successful. And while kringle is good on its own, it’s even better when perfectly paired with a Gesha coffee. 

The reason I went with this choice is because Gesha coffee is almost like a tea. The flavors are complex and boast of sweet, floral notes. Gesha coffee also has a much lighter body than most other coffees. This mild quality works to delicately compliment the buttery and fruity flavors of this pastry, but it won’t entirely overtake the wonderful flavors of the kringle.

Do you have a favorite Gesha coffee? I’ve shared my favorite in the comments below!

⁣
When coffee is paired properly, you’re able to taste enhanced flavors of both the coffee and the food. Foods that are buttery, such as this apple tart, are excellent companions. The coffee intensifies and complements the buttery sweetness of the crust, making for a perfect match.
⁣
Try pairing an apple tart with a full-bodied light roast such as Intelligentsia’s Frequency Blend. This blend has tasting notes of dried fruit, almond, and milk chocolate so you get the best of both worlds.
Today’s brew is from my all-time favorite coffee Today’s brew is from my all-time favorite coffee shop — Bradbury’s located in Madison, Wisconsin. This coffee shop turned me into a coffee snob. I’ve yet to find an equivalent bright cup of coffee anywhere else.
⁣
When I was home for the holidays, I bought a bag of their seasonal blend by Ruby’s Colorful Coffees. This blend consists of beans from El Salvador and Ethiopia. I tried these beans with an AeroPress and an espresso machine. I much prefer it as espresso, as Bradbury’s bright & distinguished flavors really pop when properly extracted this way.
