    Coffee in water! I use a French press and pour it through a V60 filter because I prefer a clean drinking experience. My most used recipe for cold brew is 500g water and 83g coffee (1:6 ratio) and leave it for 24-48 hours (depending on how much warning I have).

      I have an Espro P7, its double filter is great at getting rid of the crud when doing french press. Its my go to for making coffee for any large groups, especially when traveling as I don’t need a goose neck.

      Do you need a French press if you filter the coffee afterwards? I currently do not own one and wasn’t planning on getting one. My idea was to just dump the coffee in water, stir, let it brew, then filter.

      Also, I assume you use a fairly coarse grind when brewing that long?

        You absolutely don’t need a French press—I just find it’s easier to clean than the bottles I have. When I kept my French press far tucked away I used bottles and pitchers for cold brew before pouring it through the filter to catch the grinds.

        And yes, I grind quite course. I have the Fellow Ode with SSP burrs and move it to the most course setting.
