The Vigilante Cold Brew Recipe

Tools Needed:

• 32oz Jar
• Reusable Cloth Filter
• 113 grams (4oz) Vigilante Beans (Ground coarsely)
• 24oz (3 cups) Cold/Room Temp Filtered Water

Step 1: Place the cloth filter into the jar and add the coffee to the filter, leaving the top open. 

Step 2: Apply 12oz of cold/room temp filtered water to the grounds.

Step 3: Stir the coffee making sure all the grounds are saturated 

Step 4: Tie the cloth filter bag closed and add the rest of the water. Ensuring all of the coffee has been evenly saturated.

Step 5: Allow to steep in your fridge for 16-18 hours

Step 6: Remove the coffee including the filter from the jar. Feel free to use the grounds for your garden (it adds nitrogen to your plants) and make sure to save your filter! It's good for multiple uses. Rinse the filter of all used grounds and let it sit in water for a few hours to remove the coffee oils.

Step 7: You should yield around 18-20oz concentrate. Add 10oz filtered cold water to the coffee concentrate 1:3 water to cold brew concentrate ratio. Stir and sample the cold brew. You can always use less water for a stronger flavor so adjust to your liking!

Step 8: Pour over ice & enjoy!  

*Your cold brew will stay good for up to 5 days post brewing.

Tasting Notes

Chocolate Low Acidity Full Bodied Smooth

The South American Cold Breezy Blend, crafted by Vigilante Coffee, represents a thoughtful marriage of two distinct coffee cultures. By sourcing from the Carmo de Minas region of Brazil and the Jerico region of Colombia, this blend balances the contributions of producers Capim Seco and Madre Laura. The profile relies on the Yellow Bourbon varietal, a plant known for its distinct yellow cherries and balanced cup quality.

The blend utilizes a combination of pulp natural and washed processing methods, which helps define its final character. While washed coffees often highlight crisp acidity, pulp natural processing can contribute to a more syrupy mouthfeel. In this specific instance, the result is a cup defined by chocolate notes, a full body, and a smooth, low-acidity finish. For those looking to better understand how these specific attributes fit into the broader spectrum of coffee, consulting a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying these classic, comforting characteristics.
