Easy cold-brew coffee with a French press

I have been doing nothing but cold-brew since trying a recipe out a few months ago. It is great.

I switched from my normal dark espresso-style roasts to something lighter, and grind it much coarser than I used to. I give it the same amount of time (10-15 hours) to brew and a pitcher lasts me several days.

I make it a pitcher at a time, with 3 cups per pitcher. I have no idea what ratio it is (no idea how big the pitcher is) but it took awhile to work up to where I am. It makes very good stuff… Easy to drink, great with ice and a little milk. AWESOME with some condensed milk “Vietnamese” style.

I filter it out directly into my mug using a simple drip filter, the kind that are supposed to replace your paper filters permanently. I suppose my only grip is that if I don’t get the grind just right, the filter gets clogged and drains very slowly. A very coarse grind works best.
