How To Make The Perfect Cold Brew At Home

(No Fancy Equipment Needed)

Are you tired of spending too much on cold brew coffee at the coffeeshop? Wish you could enjoy that smooth, bold flavor from the comfort of your own kitchen—without compromising on taste? Good news: you can. Here's how to make the perfect cold brew coffee at home in just a few simple steps.

What You’ll Need to Make Cold Brew

To get started, you’ll need just a few quality ingredients and tools:

Coarsely ground coffee (We recommend our Ritual Cold Brew Blend)

• Filtered, room temperature water
• A large jar or pitcher
• A kitchen scale (if you want to be exact, exact fancy)
• Steeping pouches or cheesecloth for easy cleanup

Cold Brew Ratio & Brewing Instructions

Here’s our tried-and-true ratio for cold brew success:

Cold Brew Ratio:

• 150g coffee grounds
• 1500g (or mL) filtered water

Step-by-Step Brewing Instructions:

1. Add the coffee: Dump 150 grams (about half the bag) of coarse coffee grounds into a steeping pouch.
2. Pour the Water: Place the pouch in your jar or pitcher, and slowly pour in 1500 grams (or mL) of room-temperature filtered water.
3. Stir & Steep: Stir gently to fully saturate the grounds. Don't stir too aggressively, you don't want to puncture the pouch. Cover, and let it steep on the counter for 24 hours.

Strain, Dilute & Serve

After 24 hours, remove the steeping pouch. Gently squeeze out the extra liquid—it’s full of flavor!

👉 Important: You’ve made a concentrate—not ready-to-drink out the pitcher cold brew.

To serve, dilute with water, milk, or a milk alternative to your preferred strength. Pour over ice and enjoy the café-quality cold brew you made at home.

Customize Your Cold Brew

Make your cold brew your own! Try:

• A splash of vanilla or caramel syrup
• Cinnamon or nutmeg for a spicy twist
• Sweet cream or oat milk for a velvety finish

You can also experiment with coffee-to-water ratios to find your personal flavor sweet spot.
