Equipment

  • Cold Drip Brewer
  • Coffee grinder
  • Glass Carafe
  • Filter Papers
  • scale
  • Measuring spoon

Ingredients
  

Coffee Base

  • 150 g medium roast coffee coarsely ground
  • 700 ml cold filtered water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean split
  • Ice cubes optional

Instructions
 

  • Grind coffee beans coarsely for a smooth extraction. Avoid fine grounds to prevent bitterness.
  • Add a filter and place coffee grounds evenly in the chamber. Keep the surface level.
  • Add vanilla extract or split vanilla bean over the grounds for even flavor infusion.
  • Fill the top chamber with cold water and optional ice. This slows extraction and enhances smoothness.
  • Adjust drip rate to one drop per second. Maintain consistency for balanced flavor.
  • Let coffee drip for 8 to 12 hours. The brew should appear clear with a soft, aromatic profile.
  • Serve over ice or mix with milk. Expect smooth texture with gentle vanilla notes.

Notes

Control texture by adjusting grind size; coarser creates smoother coffee, finer increases strength. Keep drip steady for best results. Chill and store up to three days. Customize flavor with cinnamon or caramel. Handle setup carefully to maintain even extraction and consistent infusion.
