Wondering which beans, grind size, water to coffee ratio and extraction times you are using?

And temperature, if that's anything specific.

I just use old beans thats not good enough for espresso with a ratio of 1:15 coursely grinded. I usually put it outside the fridge at room temp while its brewing. And when its done around 12-24 hours, I stick it in the fridge to cool it.

Oh interesting, I've been doing around 1:12 for 20h in the fridge, and never with espresso beans.

Would those be darker roasts then?

Would like to try your recipe next! When I'm feeling fancy, I'll get myself some fruity notes beans and put it in the brewer. But on most days, I'll just use leftover coffee beans.

If you do, let me know how it works out! :-)

I'm a massive espresso nerd myself, just trying to get a feeling for cold brews as a summer alternative, really, so trying new things all over the place.
