A glass jug that makes cold brew in the fridge: fill the filter with coarsely ground coffee, add cold water, leave it eight to twenty-four hours, then lift the filter out. No electricity, no pressure, no heat. The cup comes out smooth and full-bodied, with less acidity than the same coffee brewed hot. The 600 ml size suits one or two people, stands upright in most fridge doors and goes in the dishwasher.

Details

Cold brew without a machine

Mizudashi is Japanese for cold steeped, and that is the whole method: coffee left to sit in cold water instead of being pushed through with heat and pressure. It takes hours rather than minutes, and it gives a smooth, full-bodied cup with noticeably less acidity than the same beans brewed hot. Hario is a Japanese maker of heat-resistant glassware, and the Mizudashi is about as plain as its range gets: a borosilicate jug, a lid, and a tall filter basket that drops into the neck.

How to make it

  1. Grind 60 g of coffee coarse, roughly as coarse as for a cafetière.
  2. Fill the filter, slide it into the jug and pour in 600 ml of cold water, slowly.
  3. Put the lid on and stand the jug upright in the fridge.
  4. Leave it eight to twenty-four hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger it gets.
  5. Lift the filter out, close the jug and keep it in the fridge.

That works out at about 1:10. Use ground coffee if you would rather not grind, or set a grinder coarse if you would. The filter is reusable and does not need replacing.

It takes tea as well

Fill the same filter with loose leaf and give it four to eight hours in the fridge. Green tea, oolong and fruit tea each behave differently, so it is worth trying more than one.

FAQ
Customer Questions
Which coffee and which grind do you use in the Hario Mizudashi 600 ml?

Choose a coarse grind for the Hario Mizudashi, comparable to the grind size for a French press or Chemex. A finer grind passes straight through the mesh filter and makes your cold brew cloudy and bitter.

For cold brew, our customer service usually recommends a 100% arabica bean. A smooth, nutty or slightly sweet coffee works nicely, and a dark roast is possible too as long as it is not too bitter. If you order beans from us, on request we grind them straight away to the right grind size for cold brew.

How much coffee goes into the 600 ml Hario Mizudashi?

For the 600 ml Mizudashi, fill the filter with about 60 grams of coarsely ground coffee. That is a ratio of roughly 1 to 10 and gives you a full-bodied cold brew that is ready to drink.

If you prefer it milder, use slightly less coffee or shorten the steeping time. Pour the cold water slowly over the coffee so that everything gets evenly wet.

How long should cold brew steep in the Hario Mizudashi and how long does it keep?

Let the Mizudashi steep for 8 to 24 hours in the fridge. Start with 8 hours if you like a mild coffee and work towards 24 hours for more body and a stronger flavour.

Remove the filter as soon as the cold brew is ready, otherwise the coffee keeps on steeping. In a clean, tightly sealed container, homemade cold brew keeps for up to two weeks in the fridge, with the flavour at its freshest during the first week.

Should I choose the 600 ml Hario Mizudashi or the 1000 ml one?

The 600 ml version is meant for one to two people or for anyone who drinks cold brew now and then. If several people in the house drink cold brew every day, the 1000 ml Mizudashi is more practical.

Both sizes work in exactly the same way and have the same built-in mesh filter. The 600 ml also fits upright in most fridge doors.

Can you also make tea in the 600 ml Hario Mizudashi?

Yes, the Mizudashi is suitable for coffee and for tea. Fill the mesh filter with loose leaf tea, slide it into the pot, add cold water and put it in the fridge.

For cold brew tea, allow 4 to 8 hours of steeping time, depending on the type and how strong you want it. Green tea, oolong and fruit tea each give a different result. Because you use cold water, the tea does not turn bitter.
