Cold brew coffee is a refreshing and popular variation of our beloved caffeinated beverage. Not to be confused with iced coffee, which is hot coffee served over ice, cold brew coffee is brewed with room temperature or cold water over a long period. The result is a smooth, rich, and naturally sweet coffee that's perfect for warm weather or anyone seeking a lower-acidity coffee option. Here's a simple guide to making cold brew coffee at home.
In your jar or pitcher, combine coarsely ground coffee and cold water. The recommended ratio is approximately 1 cup of coffee to 4 cups of water, but you can adjust this to suit your taste preference. Make sure all the coffee grounds are immersed in the water.
Cover the jar or pitcher and let the coffee steep for about 12 to 24 hours. This slow brewing process is key to creating cold brew's unique characteristics. The time frame depends on how strong you prefer your cold brew. Generally, the longer the steeping time, the stronger the flavor.
After the steeping process, you'll need to separate the coffee liquid from the grounds. To do this, place a strainer over a large bowl or jug, then line the strainer with your coffee filter or cheesecloth. Slowly pour the coffee mixture through the strainer, allowing the liquid to pass into the bowl and the filter to catch the grounds.
You now have a batch of concentrated cold brew coffee. You can store it in the fridge, where it can last for up to two weeks. When you're ready to serve, dilute the concentrate with cold water or milk. The ratio is typically 1:1, but you can adjust it to your liking. Serve with ice if desired.
Creating cold brew coffee at home is straightforward and requires no fancy equipment. You can customize your cold brew by adjusting the coffee-to-water ratio or adding flavors like vanilla, cinnamon, or almond extracts to the coffee grounds before steeping. Remember, the quality of your beans will significantly affect the taste, so choose fresh, high-quality coffee beans. Enjoy the process of experimentation, and you'll be well on your way to mastering the art of cold brew coffee.
Just left us a
star reviewI bought their 250ml morning cup a few months ago. It is not worth the price. When it arrived, I could tell the quality wasn’t great. Coffee stains cannot be washed off or removed, and it looks terrible just after 1 month of usage. I’m very disappointed with the product.
Signed up for the trial and only paid $0.99 for delivery. Received the coffee promptly after a few days in my letterbox. Packaging is SO cute and they even included tasting notes of the coffee beans sent! They even included a sample of another coffee bean for free :') Coffee beans were freshly roasted and smelt amazing when they arrived too :)
We enjoy the latte so much brew with yasumi Colombia bean! After a trial I've decided to keep the subscription and receive the fresh high quality coffee bean regularly.
First Time experience with coffee beans from Yasumi and will never go back to the previous brand of coffee. Yasumi all the way!!!
Coffee is freshly roasted and I always receive them very swiftly! Appreciate the friendly and responsive customer support as well :) Very honest, local roasters!
One of my favourite coffee subscription services in Singapore: user-friendly interface, great rewards for continued subscription, and most important of all, I enjoy the beans!
It’s so convenient to make my regular cup at home with a coffee subscription. Yasumi coffee provides a satisfying cup of coffee with great customer service. Extending my subscription is a breeze, whenever I can’t finish my coffee in time… this ensures I get the best roast possible.
Coffee subscription is affordable and convenient. Got single origin beans from Rwanda and tasting notes were true to description. Method of brewing: v60. Recommended to try.
Easy to use subscription website. Initial thoughts on the ethiopia beans for filter was that it was abit roasty, but after some dialing in it was really quite good, the blueberry notes were quite prominent. Coffee came with nice cards.
I like how Yasumi makes it easy for the customer to make a purchase and understand the product with its user friendly interface and clear product description. it also help that they usually give some discount code to offset next subscribed order / purchase!
I ordered a trial subscription. The package came fast and the beans were well packed (despite being unregistered mail). The additional 60g X'mas sample was a nice surprise as it was meant to be a 120g trial and I actually really liked it. Usually do pourover or espresso at home with a hand grinder.
Just brewed a cup of Tropic Daydream. Wonderful blend, so delicious. Right amount of acidity and body. Great customer service and responds to email timely. Thanks for the rebates as well.
Great coffee subscription service and very fuss-free. The beans they use are freshly roasted :)
Excellent specialty coffee roaster in Singapore at affordable prices. I'm always looking forward to my weekly delivery from Yasumi! The staff here are also really helpful and supportive!
The package of coffee comes with tasting notes and coffee info. The coffee itself smells super good and the brewed coffee I chose is very smooth and less acidic. Perfect!
Chanced upon Yasumi on Instagram and decided to give them a try — was pleasantly surprised by an extra sample bag given and also the cards describing the coffee's tasting notes and processing description etc. Will definitely be repurchasing :)
I got a trial subscription, the morning cup, and the French press. Customer service was great, and the package came fast. I tried both Brazil and Tropic Daydream. They were super aromatic and made my day. Looking forward to trying other coffee beans for my next subscription.
Tried the Brazil coffee. Great nutty taste and smell. Received on same day of the roast too. Fast delivery
The delivery was fast. The beans was freshly roasted and the quality of the beans was good. I also received a free sample bag of coffee which i really appreciated
Coffee smells is good and aromatic. Even though I left it quite long but the coffee smells still lingers l.
I stopped buying coffee outside when I can have cafe standard (even better than most cafe) coffee at home. I really enjoy Yasumi coffee, Brazil single origin. Perfectly, freshly roasted, not acidic, and nice aroma😉
Love the freshly roasted coffee beans and warm customer service! Recommend to try!
Tried almost all the different coffee origins available. Loved the Indonesian, Columbian and Ethiopian ones best. Delivery direct to mailbox has been flawless. Online platform for subscription changes and promo codes is very convenient. Started out wanting to get the free trial only but have been continually hooked onto their service!
Have been a long time fan and subscriber of Yasumi coffee. Took on their subscription plan since I begun my coffee journey at home and never had to look elsewhere. They offer a wide range of flavours and origins, you can also customize your grind size if required. Freshly roasted beans every Tues and delivered to your doorstep. Highly recommended for all coffee enthusiast out there!
The trial pack is of course of great value and the experience of buying from Yasumi is seamless. The "Rwanda" washed coffee is a great filter roast.
Updated review on 18/4: The support team has reached promptly to explain the delayed shipment. Mentioned that my shipment was delayed because I placed an order after their roasting date, which I find the explanation satisfactory. And I received my subscription of coffee yesterday. It tasted great. Excellent service recovery team Yasumi 👌 Earlier review on 14/4: My subscription is due for renewal in 1 day but my earlier order hasn't been received despite placing an order 1 week ago. I don't like to be charged for a renewal product when my earlier product hasn't been shipped out and received. I will consider changing my review when the management looks into this. I have cancelled my earlier subscription.
I've tried different coffee subscription services before, and Yasumi is the best I've used. I make espressos at home, and their beans are excellent. I've had to ask for help with my subscription before and they were always very helpful and patient.
Quick, responsive and helpful customer services. Quality coffee that taste and smells wonderful
The ease of coffee subscription cannot get any easier and fuss free. Not to mention the coffee taste superb. The coffee packet is almost always empty.
Coffee with origins and no regrets trying out! Grind is consistent, the fragrant and beans are all fresh!
Fuss-free coffee subscription! Love that I can easily switch up my beans, its grind, the schedule of roast and delivery. Most importantly, I’m pleased with the aroma and taste of the beans I got!
Very quick response to my question that is accurately and clearly explained. The professionally designed online platform is customer centric and paid attention to details. I hope the coffee I’ll be receiving will be as good if not exceed my expectations. Pretty sure it will. Looking forward to my caffeine fix soon! Yes! Got my coffee earlier than expected. Got my caffeine fixed. Love the taste and can’t ask for more.
I ordered a trial size of Brazilian coffee beans, and it arrived the day after roasting along with 60g of Tropic Daydream. Surprisingly, I found that I liked the Tropic Daydream even more! The whole beans were incredibly fresh and fragrant even before grinding. When I tried an espresso with oat milk, it tasted just like a latte from a cafe, but at only half the price and with 100% freshness. Today, experimenting with a coarser grind resulted in a lighter coffee taste. The convenience of the coffee beans subscription is a bonus; I can enjoy different beans every 6 weeks, and refills come directly to my house.
There customer service was excellent, they were able to resolve the issues the raised regarding my subscription
A great coffee subscription service that makes my daily coffee a breeze - particularly love the ability to delay a delivery by a week or two so I can finish my existing beans before new ones arrive!
Love the customer service from Yasumi. Have tried Brazil dark roast, Colombia and Nicaragua coffee beans. Enjoyed all 3 roasts very much. Yasumi coffee beans is of great quality. Amazing aromas!
I love the coffee beans roasted by Yasumi coffee. Great taste and quality.
I got very good coffee bean quality with a reasonable price from Yasumi. Highly recommended.
