INTRODUCTION TO COLD BREWING

COLD BREWED COFFEE

Example of recommended coarsely ground coffee.

The classic cold brew coffee brewing method uses coarsely ground coffee steeped in cold water over a period of 12-24 hours. This no-heat brew method produces a smooth, balanced flavor that's less bitter.

The KitchenAid® Cold Brew Coffee Maker makes roughly 28 oz (840 mL) of coffee concentrate.

To serve your cold brew beverage, we recommend using a 1:3 coffee to water/milk ratio. This means you add 1 part coffee concentrate to 3 parts water or milk.

RECIPES USING COFFEE CONCENTRATE
2 oz (60 mL) coffee concentrate	+	Cold coffee: 6 oz (180 mL) cold water or milk, add ice/sweeteners to taste
		Hot coffee: 6 oz (180 mL) hot water, add milk/sweeteners to taste

Adjust amount of coffee concentrate to achieve desired taste.

COLD BREWED TEA

The Cold Brew Coffee Maker can also be used to make tea concentrate (approximately 32-34 oz [960-1020 mL]). Cold brewed tea is steeped in cold water over a period of 6-12 hours.

To serve your tea beverage, we recommend using a 1:7 tea to water ratio. This means you add 1 part tea concentrate to 7 parts water.

Enjoy your cold brew tea the way you like by mixing concentrate with ice, water, milk, or sweeteners.

TIP: The longer you steep and the more tea you use, the more bitter the tea will become.

RECIPES USING TEA CONCENTRATE
1 oz (30 mL) tea concentrate	+	Cold tea: 7 oz (210 mL) cold water, add ice/sweeteners to taste
		Hot tea: 7 oz (210 mL) hot water, add milk/sweeteners to taste

Adjust amount of tea concentrate to achieve desired taste.

Visit kitchenaid.com/quickstart for additional Instructions with videos and tips on how to use your Cold Brew Coffee Maker.

IMPORTANT: Before using the Cold Brew Coffee Maker, wash all parts by hand in warm, soapy water, making sure to rinse and drain the coffee tube before use. Dry thoroughly. To avoid damage, do not wash in the dishwasher.

To assemble the Cold Brew Coffee Maker: Place the outer lid on the brew jar, then insert the steeper. Make sure steeper handle is lying flat.

2 Scoop 250 grams of coarsely ground coffee into the steeper. The grounds should come close to touching the fill guideline on the steeper.

NOTE: The height of your coffee grounds in relation to the fill guideline may vary depending on the roast of your coffee. 250 grams of a light roast may be below the line, while a dark roast may be above the line.

TIP: If making tea, scoop 120 grams of tea leaves into the steeper.

3 Make sure the brew jar tap is in the closed position.

Pour approximately 1 L of cold water over the grounds, using a circular motion and being sure to coat the grounds well. Pause for 1 minute to let the grounds bloom.

TIP: The part in the coffee brewing process when gases from the coffee are released as the water hits the grounds is called the "bloom," because it causes the grounds to grow and rise.

NOTE: The coffee concentrate stays cold and fresh for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

NOTE: Because of its compact design, it fits neatly where you want on the refrigerator shelf or door.

NOTE: Do not mix ingredients in the brew jar. Pour concentrate into a glass, then add water or milk.

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE COLD BREW COFFEE MAKER

IMPORTANT: It is critical to thoroughly clean the Cold Brew Coffee Maker after each use. To avoid damage, do not wash in the dishwasher. The taste of your coffee can be impacted if the brew jar and steeper assembly is not thoroughly cleaned of all grounds, coffee oil residue, or soap after each use.

Clean all parts of the Cold Brew Coffee Maker by hand only. Rinse coffee residue from each part. Wash with warm, soapy water, then open the tap and run warm water through until tube and tap are empty. Dry each part with a dry, soft towel.

For occasional deeper cleaning: 2 First, push the clasp to release the door located on the bottom of the brew jar.

Next, gently loosen the hose nozzle from both ends to remove.

Then, twist the nut/wrench that holds the coffee drain in place and remove both of these parts.

CARE AND CLEANING

Finally, using the nut/wrench as a tool, loosen the tap and remove.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your Cold Brew Coffee Maker should fail to operate as expected, please check the following:

• If coffee is too bold: Grind your coffee at a coarser grind level, and/or steep for less time. The Cold Brew Coffee Maker produces a coffee concentrate. To serve at the proper strength, dilute your coffee concentrate with water or any dairy/dairy-free milk of your choice.

• If coffee is too weak: Either grind your beans to a finer consistency, or brew for more time. Cold Brew coffee uses more coffee to brew than other methods. Make certain you use 250 grams of coffee to brew.

• If coffee tastes bitter or unpleasant after use: Taste can be impacted if the Cold Brew Coffee Maker isn't thoroughly cleaned. Make certain that all soap, grounds, and oily residue are thoroughly rinsed off of all parts after each use. See the "Care and cleaning" section for more information.

If the problem is not due to one of the above items, see the "Arranging for service" chapter in the "Warranty and service" section.

Do not return the Cold Brew Coffee Maker to the retailer, as they do not provide service.
