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 suppose 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 with out making the coffee bitter. PLUS coffee is cold brewed in two hours and not over night! Perfect for when you forgot to make it the night before!

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.

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.
