text: I like these filter bags and find them the easiest, neatest way to make cold brewed coffee. I don't need any equipment other than a quart size Mason jar. I just fill the filter bag, add a little hot water to "bloom" the coffee grounds, top off with cold filtered water, and leave in the fridge overnight. I have great tasting cold brewed coffee without a giant mess of used grounds to deal with. I used to use a fine mesh metal filter and it was always a pain getting all the used grounds out of it and washing it. Knowing that the bags are biodegradable makes me more comfortable with using a disposable bag. Highly recommend for anyone who wants cold brew coffee with minimal fuss. Tip: place the strings on top of the mason jar lid so you don't have coffee dripping in the fridge. If you let the string hang loose, it will "wick" the coffee and cause it to drip.
