how long to steep coffee
#4 Let Coffee Steep for 12 or More Hours. You can âcold brewâ in the refrigerator or set it on the counter overnight. I use the counter. How long you steep the coffee is up to you. Most cold brew recipes use a 12-24 hour range. The longer you steep the more concentrated the brew will become. So it all comes down to personal preference. My brews with the coffee pouch all fell into the 12-16 hour range. #5 Remove Pouch and Place Coffee Concentrate into Refrigerator
