Coffee acionados, it is time to talk about Cold Brewed coffee! If you didn’t know or haven’t
heard, it is pretty wonderful. If you are not a fan of the acidic and bitter taste of drip coffee,
then Cold Brew is for you. It has a deeper, less acidic and more subtle taste, so you can skip
the sugar. It is also more concentrated than conventionally-brewed coffee so a little bit goes
a long way. To make an authentic cold brew coffee, you need the perfect kit. The BRIM Smart
Valve Cold Brew Maker yields smooth, rich and naturally sweet results.

Cold Brew Coffee
1. Add Filter: Place the brewing container onto a at, clean surface. Moisten an Easy-Grab Tab
lter with water and insert into the bottom of the brewing container. Make sure the tab is
facing up for easy removal.
2. Add Coffee: Add 12 oz. of fresh coarsely ground coffee beans to the brewing container.
You can easily nd pre-measured 12oz bags of coffee at your local coffee shop
or grocery store.
We recommend medium roast, single origin coffee beans. Shake the brewing container
lightly to level the coffee.
3. 1st Pour: Fill the glass decanter with ltered, room temperature water to the water level mark
(3-1/2 cups). Working from the center out to the edge, slowly pour water in a spiral motion
over the ground beans. Saturate ALL coffee grounds.
4. 2nd Pour: Rell the decanter to the water level mark (3-1/2 cups) with ltered room
temperature water. Slowly pour water over the grounds in a spiral motion from the outside of
the lter to the center. Use the back end of a spoon to press any oating grounds down into
the water, making sure all coffee is submerged.
5. Wait: Add the lid to the brewing container and allow the coffee to cold brew at room
temperature for 12 to 24 hours.
6. Transfer: Place the Glass Decanter on a at, clean surface. Rest the brewing container collar
over the lip of the glass decanter. Filtered cold brew coffee concentrate will begin to drip.
The dripping process can take up to 30 minutes to nish and it will yield approximately
5 cups of coffee concentrate.
NOTE: To STOP the ow of coffee concentrate, simply lift to remove the brewing
container collar from the glass decanter. When the brewing container is replaced,
dripping will resume.
7. Grasp the brewing container collar and lift to remove from the glass decanter.
Dispose of used grounds and rinse well.
8. Pull out the reusable Easy-Grab Tab lter. Rinse and dry. See Care & Cleaning Instructions
for detailed cleaning procedures.
9. Cover the glass decanter with its lid and refrigerate. Coffee concentrate can be covered
and stored for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
10. Enjoy! To serve, dilute coffee concentrate to your preference. A 1:3 ratio is recommended
for a 5 oz. serving.
• 1.25 oz. (1/3) coffee concentrate
plus
• 3.75 oz. (2/3) water, milk, or other liquid
Concentrate can be used hot or cold for artisanal beverages. For hot coffee simply add
boiling water to the concentrate. Serve over ice for cold beverages.
NOTE: For stronger coffee, use a 1: 2 or even a 1:1 ratio, concentrate to water, milk, or other
liquid to suit your taste.

Hints for Great Tasting Cold Brew Coffee & Tea
• Always use fresh, ltered room temperature water in your Cold Brew Coffee Maker.
• To avoid clogging the cold brew lter, make sure beans are COARSELY ground & NEVER
shake the brewing container or agitate the grounds during the brewing process.
• If the ow of concentrate is weak and the lter is clogged before full extraction is
completed, using the rounded, blunt end of a butter knife, gently scrape the top of the lter
clean. Be careful not to agitate the coffee grounds.
• Use simple sugar syrups to sweeten your cold brew coffee and tea. Use a 1:1 ratio, sugar to
water; bring to a boil. Stir constantly until all sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool.
• For best avor and performance, cold brew lters should be cleaned and dried after each
use.
• IMPORTANT! NEVER USE SOAP to clean any Easy-Grab Tab lter.
• Store coffee beans or ground coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,
keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee avor, buy whole beans and coarsely grind, just before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds, or tea leaves since this will greatly impair the avor.
• Coffee or tea concentrate will keep at least 2 weeks in the covered glass decanter when
refrigerated.
• 5 cups (1250ml) of coffee concentrate can produce up to 32 (5-oz) cups of coffee when
diluted with other liquids.
• 5 cups (1250ml) of tea concentrate can produce up to 53 (5-oz) cups of tea when diluted
with other liquids.
• Use coffee or tea concentrate to make ice cubes for future iced coffee or tea drinks.
• Coffee or tea concentrate is great to use in recipes calling for strong brewed coffee or tea.
