Alto Cold Brew filters size medium are ideal for quart and half gallon batches of cold brew using 4oz (approx. 113 grams) to 6oz (approx. 170 grams) of coarse ground coffee.
Steep grounds in a wide mouth jar or drink pitcher (opening of jar or pitcher should be larger than 2.5") for 12 to 16 hours as suggested by Alto. After steeping simply dispose of the filter bag or place the coffee grounds in your compost.
For our cold brew process we use 6 oz. (approx. 170 grams) of coarse ground coffee in a 2 qt. jar or pitcher. We're adding approx. 48 oz. of filtered water. It's important to pour your filtered water in the center of the grounds prior to closing the filter with the drawstring. This will thoroughly wet the grounds, picture #5 shows this procedure.
We steep in the refrigerator and extend the steep time to 24hrs-36hrs., this produces a similar brew strength to the shorter room temperature brew of 12-16 hrs. If the brew strength is slightly concentrated either dilute with filtered water and ice or add milk, cream, simple syrup or flavored syrups to your desired taste preference.
Each pack contains: 35 disposable medium filters (4" x 12") with cotton drawstring.
For a limited time, all medium Alto Home Cold Brew Filters will come with a custom funnel in the box for an easier way to fill the coffee grounds
Jar, water and coffee are not included but we know where you can get some great coffee.
If you're looking for a dark rich cold brew we'd suggest the Uganda Bugisu or our Cold Brew blend.
