What Is Cold Brew Coffee?
Cold brew is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold or room-temperature water for 12–24 hours. Unlike iced coffee (which is brewed hot and chilled), cold brew is never heated — giving it a smooth, low-acid, and naturally sweet flavour.
It’s the perfect pick-me-up for Singapore’s warm, humid days — plus, it’s easy to make in batches and keeps well in the fridge.
What You Need to Make Cold Brew?
-
Coarsely ground coffee beans (see recommendations below)
-
Cold or filtered water
-
A jar or French press
-
A fine strainer, cheesecloth, or cold brew filter bag
How to Make Cold Brew Coffee at Home?
1. Pick Your Coffee Beans
The flavour of your cold brew starts with the beans. We recommend:
-
Light Roast Coffee Beans
Bright, fruity, and slightly acidic — great if you like a more refreshing, tea-like cold brew. -
Medium Roast Coffee Beans
Balanced, smooth, and chocolatey — ideal for most cold brew drinkers. -
Medium-Dark Roast / Espresso Blends
Bold, rich, and full-bodied — for those who love a stronger, deeper cold brew flavor.

2. Grind Your Beans Coarse
Cold brew works best with a coarse grind — similar to raw sugar or sea salt. If the grind is too fine, you’ll over-extract the coffee, making it bitter or sludgy.
📦 Tip: Wake The Crew offers grind options with your bean purchase — just choose “Coarse” at checkout for cold brew readiness!
3. Use the Right Ratio
A standard cold brew ratio is:
-
1:8 for a ready-to-drink brew (e.g. 1 cup grounds to 8 cups water)
-
1:4 for a concentrate (dilute with milk or water before drinking)
Add grounds to your jar or French press, then pour water over the coffee slowly. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated.
4. Steep for 12–24 Hours
Cover and place the jar in your fridge or at room temperature. Let it brew for:
-
12 hours for a lighter brew
-
18–24 hours for a bolder, stronger cold brew
5. Strain and Serve
Strain through a fine sieve, coffee filter, or cheesecloth into another container. Store your cold brew in the fridge for up to a week.
Serve over ice, add milk, oat milk, or sweeteners — or drink it straight.
🔥 Pro tip: Add a splash of vanilla or cinnamon for a functional twist.
