Cold Brew

AeroPress's official quick cold brew: room-temperature water and thirty seconds of constant stirring pull a smooth, low-acid concentrate in two minutes instead of the usual overnight steep. Dilute and serve over ice.

Notes

The constant stirring is what drives extraction without heat — keep the paddle moving the whole thirty seconds. Dilute the concentrate with cold water to taste and pour over ice.
