The 15h is certainly under extracted as there’s hints of sourness.
The 20h didn’t have any sour taste, but tasted quite bitter. I compared it with my store bought cold brew, which tastes great. I’ll try to experiment more on the grind size or different beans.
I actually DIY my plant milks as well as its super expensive here (developed cow milk intolerance lately 🥲 ). Been rotating between oat milk and cashew milk. I think I prefer cashew milk to my coffee though there are times I crave coffee + oat.
Oh wow, I never tried to extract anything beyond 24h, really cool! Looking forward to the 48h results, thanks a lot for sharing!
Will give cashew milk a try as well. I had almond, oat, soy and rice milk, but never cashew so far. I love the nuts though, so that sounds like a no brainer.
If you plan on DIY-ing cashew milk, I suggest to use “raw diced cashews” variety as it’s half the price of a regular cashews.
Update on the 48h. I actually forgot about it and steeped for another 10h. So a total of 58h. Surprisingly, it’s the best tasting of the 3 I did. I actually drank it black, it’s good without adding anything. Or maybe I developed a preference for over extracted coffee. Lol
Thank you so much for your advice, I would have been cursed forever with underextracted cold brew without it!
I wish you all the best coffee in the world!! ☕☕
Sounds excellent! Maybe I’ll give that a try after my holidays, departing Tuesday and that might be cutting it a bit too close.
Going to experiment with the cashew milk as well when I’m back. Will probably have to order them online, all I can get in store is already roasted and often salted, so that probably won’t cut it.
Update: Tried 15h, 20h, 48h (still in progress)
