COLD BREWING

True cold brew
Traditional cold brewing takes up to 24 hours. The Instant Cold Brewer's FlashExtract^™ technology delivers delicious, never-heated, café-quality cold brew or iced tea in under 30 minutes.

Recommended brewing for coffee
We recommend using medium-ground coffee and a 14:1 water-to-coffee ratio. Depending on the size of the grind, the brew basket can hold up to 70 grams of coffee. Adjust coffee to water ratio as well grind consistency to taste. Scoop measurements are for the included scoop.
DO NOT use fine grind coffee grounds.

For delicious coffee
By brewing combining FlashExtract^™ technology with overnight brewing delivers delicious cold brew. After the initial brew on the power base, store the pitcher with brew basket inserted into the fridge.

For bolder cold brew
The Instant^® Cold Brewer allows for a maximum brew time of 30 minutes. Increase the amount of ground coffee and brew time to create a bolder cup of coffee.

Brewing iced tea
The Instant Cold Brewer can brew iced tea using loose tea leaves (not tea in bags). The brew basket can hold up to 6 teaspoons (2 tablespoons) of loose tea leaves.
DO NOT use tea bags or loose teas containing large leaves, stems or dried fruits.

For stronger iced tea
The Instant^® Cold Brewer allows for a maximum brew time of 30 minutes. Increase the amount of brew time to create stronger iced tea. Some tea varietals take more time to brew than others; green tea and chamomile are likely to take longer to brew.
