i use a french press - approx 8oz of ground coffee (preferably coarser grind), add water, stir, cap it - let it sit on counter for about 24 hours (personal preference - some folks do 8 or 12 hours, i like it snarky), press and pour into glass bottle and refrigerate - will hold without getting bitter for 6-7 days (never lasts that long... ) i generally drink about 6 oz with about 2 oz of milk...Hey DC what do you have for cold press, I prefer my coffee hot but might have to look into it
