Bodum Bean Cold Brew Coffee Maker 12 Cup / 51oz - White

A: We recommend using 1 scoop of grounds for every 4 ounces of water you pour. Cold-brew usually demands more grounds than when made hot due to the extended brewing process. Enjoy!

A: I use 4 scoops or healing tablespoons of coffee, stir and refrigerate for next day.

A: I use about a cup of coffee grounds for every 3-4 cups of water.

A: Yes you can, although I get better results using coarse grounds.

A: I have read in several places that coarse grounds are best for cold brew because you retain more of the oil that way

A: Yes, it's recommended that you use medium or coarse grounds.

A: Add coffee grounds and cold water to the jug, refrigerate overnight, then press the plunger in the morning.

A: The coffee maker is made from stainless steel and BPA-free plastic for safety and durability.

A: Yes, it includes a coffee scoop for easy measurement of coffee grounds.

A: Yes, all parts of the coffee maker are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

A: Thank you for your question! The BEAN Cold Brew Coffee Maker is designed to be used with cold water to make cold brew coffee, but the BPA-free plastic carafe can also be used to brew hot coffee; however, we do not consider the BEAN heat-proof, so if you do brew with hot water, please use caution to avoid burns or scalding and only handle the carafe by the handle. Please also note that the BEAN is not insulated, if that is what you mean by “heat proof.” We hope this helps, and if you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com.

A: Thank you for your question! Yes, you can use tea bags to make iced tea in the BEAN Cold Brew Maker. Simply add your desired number of tea bags, drape the strings over the lip of the carafe, and place the fridge lid on top to hold them in place. Once your tea is ready, remove the bags and switch to the press lid; the filter isn’t needed for tea bags, but make sure to depress the plunger for easier storage, and use the thumb trigger to pour your freshly brewed iced tea. Simple and convenient!

A: Thank you for your question! The BEAN Cold Brew Coffee Maker is specifically designed for cold brew preparation - we do not recommend using it in the microwave. Instead, consider transferring your beverage to a microwave-safe container if you’d like to heat it. Hope this helps!
