Cold brew has become a staple for coffee lovers who enjoy a smooth, refreshing, and low-acidity drink; especially during long, hot South African summers. At KayRin Coffee Roasters, we believe great coffee starts with quality beans and the right brewing tools. If you’re looking to upgrade your home coffee game, our variety of KayRin Coffee paired with the Hario Cold Brew Coffee Jug is the perfect combination.

Whether you’re new to cold brew or want to elevate your routine, this guide will show you exactly how to make cold brew coffee at home, the benefits of this brew method, and delicious variations you can enjoy.

Why Cold Brew? The Benefits That Make It a Summer Essential

Cold brew isn’t just iced coffee; it’s a completely different brewing method that uses time instead of heat to extract flavour. Here’s why it’s worth the hype:

1. Smooth, Low Acidity Flavour

Cold brewing reduces bitterness and acidity, highlighting the natural sweetness and chocolatey or fruity notes in KayRin Coffee.

2. Perfect for Hot Summer Days

Served chilled, cold brew is incredibly refreshing; ideal for warm weather or for those who prefer a cooler caffeine kick.

3. Naturally Sweet & Versatile

Cold brew is naturally less bitter, making it perfect for enjoying black or pairing with milk or alternative dairy.

4. Long-Lasting

A batch of cold brew concentrate lasts up to a week in the fridge, making it a convenient drink to prep ahead.

How to Make Cold Brew Coffee Using KayRin Coffee

A step-by-step guide using the Hario Cold Brew Coffee Jug

What you’ll need:

  • KayRin Coffee (medium-coarse grind recommended)
  • Hario Cold Brew Coffee Jug
  • Filtered water
  • A fridge

Step 1: Add the Coffee

Fill the Hario mesh filter with 50–60g of KayRin Coffee. A medium-coarse grind works best for clean extraction.

Step 2: Add Water

Insert the filter into the jug and slowly pour in 700–800ml of cold, filtered water.

Step 3: Steep

Place the jug in the fridge and let the coffee steep for 12–18 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the brew.

Step 4: Serve

Remove the filter, pour your cold brew into a glass, and enjoy it over ice; or customise it with your favourite additions.

Cold Brew Variations You’ll Love

Cold brew is incredibly versatile. Here are some easy (and delicious!) ways to enjoy your KayRin cold brew:

1. Classic Over Ice

The purest way to enjoy cold brew. Simply pour over ice and sip.

2. Cold Brew Coffee with Milk

Add a splash of full-cream, low-fat, or condensed milk for a creamier taste.

3. With Milk Alternatives

Oat milk, almond milk, and soy milk all pair beautifully with the smooth flavours of KayRin Coffee.

4. Cold Brew Tonic

A bubbly, refreshing twist. Mix cold brew concentrate with tonic water and a slice of orange.

5. Sweetened Cold Brew Coffee

Add vanilla syrup, caramel syrup, or a hint of brown sugar for a dessert-like treat.
