8 | INTRODUCTION TO COLD BREWING

COLD BREWED COFFEE

The classic cold brew coffee brewing method uses coarsely

ground coffee steeped in cold water over a period of

12-24 hours. This no-heat brew method produces a smooth,

balanced avour that’s less bitter.

The KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker makes roughly

840mL of coffee concentrate.

To serve your cold brew beverage, we recommend using

a 1:3 coffee to water/milk ratio. This means you add 1 part

coffee concentrate to 3 parts water or milk.

Example of recommended

coarsely ground coffee.

INTRODUCTION TO COLD BREWING

COLD BREWED TEA

The Cold Brew Coffee Maker can also be used to make tea concentrate (approximately

960-1020mL). Cold brewed tea is steeped in cold water over a period of 6-12hours.

To serve your tea beverage, we recommend using a 1:7 tea to water ratio. This means

you add 1 part tea concentrate to 7 parts water.

Enjoy your cold brew tea the way you like by mixing concentrate with ice, water, milk,

or sweeteners.

TIP: The longer you steep and the more tea you use, the more bitter the tea

will become.

USING THE COFFEE MAKER | 9

OPERATING THE COLD BREW COFFEE MAKER

IMPORTANT: Before using the Cold Brew Coffee Maker, wash all parts by hand in

warm, soapy water, making sure to rinse and drain the coffee tube before use. Dry

thoroughly. To avoid damage, do not wash in the dishwasher.

USING THE COFFEE MAKER

NOTE: The height of your coffee grounds in relation to the fill guideline may vary

depending on the roast of your coffee. 250grams of a light roast may be below the

line, while a dark roast may be above the line.

TIP: If making tea, scoop 120 grams of tea leaves into the steeper.

TIP: The part in the coffee brewing

process when gases from the coffee

are released as the water hits the grounds

is called the “bloom,” because it causes

the grounds to grow and rise.

To assemble the Cold Brew

Coffee Maker: Place the outer

lid on the brew jar, then insert the

steeper. Make sure steeper handle

is lying flat.

Scoop 250 grams of coarsely ground

coffee into the steeper. The grounds

should come close to touching the fill

guideline on the steeper.

3Make sure the brew jar tap is in the

closed position. 4

Pour approximately 1L of cold water

over the grounds, using a circular

motion and being sure to coat the

grounds well. Pause for 1 minute

to let the grounds bloom.

USING THE COFFEE MAKER

5After the coffee blooms, pour

an additional 1/4 L of water over

the grounds.

Once comfortable with the process, you

can use the trim band as a visual pouring

guide. At the first pour, fill the jar until the

water level is about 2.5 cm below the trim

band. Then, let the coffee bloom, and

add water until the level is at the bottom

of the trim band.

Use a spoon to press the grounds

down into the water, ensuring all of

the grounds are fully saturated. There

should be no dry coffee grounds.

Place the lid on the steeper, and allow

the coffee to brew for 12-24 hours.

Brew either at room temperature or

in the refrigerator.

USING THE COFFEE MAKER

PREPARING THE COLD BREW COFFEE

1After brewing for 12-24 hours, take

off the steeper lid. 2

Using the steeper handle, lift the

steeper above the brew jar. Rest the

steeper at an angle on the brew jar

and allow to drain for 3 minutes, then

change steeper rest angle and allow

to drain for another 2 minutes.

Pull the steeper all the way out of

the brew jar and compost or discard

the used grounds. Wash the steeper

according to the “Care and cleaning”

directions.

4Return the steeper lid to the brew jar,

and store your coffee concentrate in

the refrigerator.

NOTE: The coffee concentrate stays

cold and fresh for up to 2 weeks in

the refrigerator.

12 | CARE AND CLEANING

USING THE COFFEE MAKER

NOTE: Because of its compact design,

it fits neatly where you want on the

refrigerator shelf or door.

NOTE: Do not mix ingredients in

the brew jar. Pour concentrate into

a glass, then add water or milk.

5To dispense concentrate, turn the tap

a quarter turn counter-clockwise. 6

To serve your cold brew coffee, use

1 part coffee concentrate to 3 parts

water or dairy/dairy-free milk of your

choice. Add ice and sweeten to taste.

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE COLD BREW COFFEE MAKER

IMPORTANT: It is critical to thoroughly clean the Cold Brew Coffee Maker after each

use. To avoid damage, do not wash in the dishwasher. The taste of your coffee can

be impacted if the brew jar and steeper assembly are not thoroughly cleaned of all

grounds, coffee oil residue, or soap after each use.

Clean all parts of the Cold Brew

Coffee Maker by hand only. Rinse

coffee residue from each part. Wash

with warm, soapy water, then open

the tap and run warm water through

until tube and tap are empty. Dry

each part with a dry, soft towel.

For occasional deeper cleaning:

First, push the clasp to release

the door located on the bottom

of the brew jar.

CARE AND CLEANING | 13

3Next, gently loosen the hose nozzle

from both ends to remove. 4Then, twist the nut/wrench that holds

the coffee drain in place and remove

both of these parts.

CARE AND CLEANING

5Finally, using the nut/wrench as a tool,

loosen the tap and remove. 6

Hand wash all parts in warm, soapy

water. Dry all parts thoroughly and

reassemble. Ensure coffee drain seal

is in place when reassembling.
