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.
1
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.
2
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.
6
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.
7
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.
3
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.
1
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.
2
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.

14 | TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your Cold Brew Coffee Maker should
fail to operate as expected, please
check the following:
- If coffee is too bold: Grind your coffee
at a coarser grind level, and/or steep
for less time. The Cold Brew Coffee
Maker produces a coffee concentrate.
To serve at the proper strength, dilute
your coffee concentrate with water or
any dairy/dairy-free milk of your choice.
- If coffee is too weak: Either grind your
beans to a ner consistency, or brew for
more time. Cold Brew coffee uses more
coffee to brew than other methods.
Make certain you use 250 grams of
coffee to brew.
- If coffee tastes bitter or unpleasant after
use: Taste can be impacted if the Cold
Brew Coffee Maker isn’t thoroughly
cleaned. Make certain that all soap,
grounds, and oily residue is thoroughly
rinsed off of all parts after each use. See
the “Care and cleaning” section for
more information.
If the problem is not due to one of
the above items, see the “Customer
service” chapter in the “Warranty
and service” section.
Do not return the Cold Brew Coffee
Maker to the retailer, as they do not
provide service.
