First of all, what is cold brew?

Cold brew is the process of brewing coffee over an extended period of time, usually more than 10 hours, in cold or room temperature water. The brewing process takes place in a special cold brew apparatus, having a filter that holds the ground up coffee surrounded by the water. This filter helps us easily separate the brewed coffee from the ground coffee. In cold brewing we use a medium roast beans, grinded to a coarse grind size, and use water with TDS level of 150 mg/l (with an acceptable range of 75 mg/l to 250 mg/l), but the closer you get it to 150 mg/l the smoother the taste of your final product.
