Sous Vide cold brew coffee base is perfect for when you want iced coffee without the wait. Another advantage of this method is you can make multiple jars of the cold brew base at one time without taking up precious refrigerator space. Refrigerator space is always at a premium in my house.

How is it possible to cold brew coffee with sous vide?

I know what you are thinking, sous vide uses hot water and when you cold brew coffee you are supposed to use cold water, right. Sort of. I am going to call this a compromise technique. The water does not get as high as a drip coffee brew but is not as cold as refrigeration.

The heat is consistent and low enough to pull the flavor from the coffee grounds without making the coffee bitter. PLUS coffee is cold brewed in two hours and not overnight! Perfect for when you forgot to make it the night before!

Your sous vide cold brew coffee is now ready to serve over ice or with your favorite cream and flavors.

Can I use a zip top bag to make sous vide coffee?

You are definitely able to use a food-safe zip-top bag to make your cold brew coffee instead of a mason jar. You will have the same results. I just like to suggest using the water displacement method to remove the air from the bag before completely closing it.

What type of grind for cold brew?

I like to do a course grind with I make my cold brew coffee. The flavor is able to be extracted beautifully and there is not a grittiness to the coffee that you sometimes get with you use a fine grind.

Sous Vide cold brew coffee base is perfect for when you want cold brew coffee with out the wait. I have shown you how to make cold brew coffee in the past but this cold brew coffee recipe uses the sous vide technique to speed up the cold brew coffee process.
