Next, add the coarse coffee grounds to the Ninja Coffee Maker‘s reusable filter basket. The amount of coffee used will depend on the desired strength of the brew.
3. Adding Cold Water
Fill the Ninja Coffee Maker‘s water reservoir with cold, filtered water. The ideal water temperature for cold brew is between 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit (16-21 degrees Celsius).
4. Selecting the Cold Brew Setting
The Ninja Coffee Maker features a dedicated Cold Brew setting. This setting optimizes the brewing time and temperature to create a smooth, flavorful cold brew.
5. Brewing the Coffee
Once the Cold Brew setting is selected, the Ninja Coffee Maker will begin the brewing process. The machine will slowly drip cold water over the coffee grounds, allowing the flavors to extract gradually.
6. Steeping Time
The steeping time for cold brew is typically between 12-24 hours. During this time, the coffee grounds will continue to release their flavors into the water, resulting in a rich, concentrated brew.
