Posted Sat Sep 15, 2012, 12:12pm Subject: Cold Brewing 'Machine'
After reading this Click Here (prima-coffee.com) I wanted to try it. I wanted to keep it as low budget as possible so instead of an aeropress I went dollar tree foam. Some of the foam, hot glue, and tape and I was ready to go. I use 40 grams of coffee for 12 ounces of water. Drips come every 15 to 20 seconds.

If it works, then it works, no need for big bucks! I have seen cold brew machines that look like lab equipment gone awry and it is said that it produces great cold brew coffee. I really don't like coffee cold regardless of how it is brewed. Your improv looks great.
Another way to do this is with a long immersion brew. Basically you steep the grounds in cold water, in the refer for about 12 hours, then drain.
Try getting a spigot for the water bottle so you can control the drip speed, you can find cheap ones in aquarium shops, 15/20 per drip sounds incredibly slow, you should be aiming for 1 or 2 per second.
actually the trick machines that I have seen in the coffee shops for making cold tbrewed coffee drip on the average of about 5 to 10 drips per minute. it takes hours and hours to make a pot of coffee this way but they say it is the best. however I would not know as I do not drink cold coffee!

Thanks for the tip. I will go to my lfs soon. I mixed the numbers up when I was reading about cold brewing. He had 40 drips a minute, for some odd reason I aimed for one drip every 40 seconds. Oops. It is hard getting a hole that small with a bottle cap and pin. It clogs up easily on what, I don't know.
