Are you tired of spending a fortune on pre-made cold brew coffee? Look no further than the ALDI Cold Brew Coffee System. This hidden gem not only delivers the most delicious cold brew coffee but also comes at an affordable price. Let me guide you through the process of making the perfect cup of cold brew and reveal the secret to that mysterious extra piece in the box!
How to Make the Perfect Cold Brew Coffee
The Crofton Cold Brew Coffee Maker is a simple yet efficient system that includes a glass carafe, a stainless steel filter with a screw-on lid, and a lid with a built-in strainer. The instructions may seem minimal, but fear not, I’ll provide you with a step-by-step guide.
- Unscrew the silver lid from the filter and place the filter inside the carafe, ensuring it locks in place.
- Add 3/4 to 1 cup of your favorite ground coffee to the filter (dark roast works best).
- Slowly pour water into the filter over the coffee grounds until the carafe is filled.
- Replace the lid and refrigerate the filled carafe for 16-24 hours.
- After refrigeration, remove the filter and replace it with the strainer lid.
- To serve, dilute the concentrated cold brew coffee with water or milk to taste. Don’t forget to add ice for that refreshing touch.
Please note that the box suggests using coarse ground coffee, but regular ground coffee works just as well. For an extra kick, try using 1 cup of ground coffee instead of 3/4 cup. Remember, dark roast will provide the best results.
A Cup of Joy: My Review
Once you experience the convenience and taste of the Crofton Cold Brew Coffee System, you’ll never go back to store-bought coffee. Priced at just $9.99 as an ALDI Find, this compact and efficient system will be your summer companion.
Although the carafe yields only four cups of cold brew coffee, the concentration makes it go a long way. I recommend diluting it with equal parts water or milk. The result is a smooth, rich, and concentrated cup of coffee without any bitterness. Moreover, cold brew coffee is known to be less acidic than traditional brewed coffee, making it a perfect choice for those with a sensitive stomach.
Cleaning Made Easy
Having trouble cleaning the filter? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Here’s a little trick that will help you remove every last bit of grounds from the long, skinny filter. Keep your filter sparkling and ready for the next brewing session.
Don’t Miss Out
ALDI’s Cold Brew Coffee Maker is a limited-time special buy and tends to sell out quickly. If you miss it, don’t despair! You can still enjoy a delicious cup of cold brew with alternatives such as the BTaT cold brew coffee maker, the competing Takeya model, or the Hario Mizudashi cold brew coffee pot.
Embrace the Cold Brew Season
As the weather warms up, it’s time to bring out your own cold brew coffee system. Say goodbye to overpriced coffee shops and enjoy the perfect cup of cold brew at home.
