Our story

Steep it cold, let the night do the work

Hot coffee draws bitterness out of the bean; cold brewing does not. A Steep Cold brewer holds coarse grounds and cold water together through the night, slowly drawing out the smooth, sweet, low-acid concentrate that cold brew is known for. In the morning you filter it, pour it over ice or dilute it with water or milk, and you have a jar of smooth coffee ready for days. It is a slow, patient way to brew — one that rewards a little planning with a concentrate that keeps in the fridge for a week.

How it's made

Each brewer is a glass or borosilicate vessel with a fine-mesh filter — coarse grounds sit in the water, steeping overnight, then the filter lifts out clean. The wide mouth makes it easy to add grounds, and the tap or pour spout lets you draw off concentrate without disturbing the bed.

How to use it

Add coarse-ground coffee and cold water, stir gently, and let it steep in the fridge for 12 to 18 hours. Remove the filter, then pour the concentrate over ice, or dilute it one part concentrate to two parts water or milk. Store the brewed concentrate in the fridge and use within a week.

Good to know

How do I clean the brewer?

Rinse the mesh filter and vessel with warm water after each batch, and wash them with mild soap as needed. The glass is dishwasher-safe; check the filter's care note before putting it in.

Is it a health or medical product?

No. It is a coffee brewer. The smooth, low-acid character is about taste and how the coffee is made — it is not a medicine and not intended to address any condition.

How do I use the concentrate?

The concentrate is strong, so dilute it to taste — typically one part concentrate to two parts water or milk, over ice. Store it in the fridge and use within about a week.

What is the difference between cold brew and iced coffee?

Cold brew is steeped in cold water for many hours, making a smooth concentrate. Iced coffee is hot-brewed coffee poured over ice. They taste different and are made differently.

How long does it steep?

Twelve to eighteen hours in the fridge is the sweet spot for a full, smooth brew. Any longer and it can turn slightly bitter, so aim for about overnight.

Why is cold brew smoother than hot coffee?

Hot water draws bitterness and acidity out of the coffee bean; cold water draws out the sweeter, smoother flavours. The result is a concentrate that is mellow and low in perceived acidity.
