T...G'day Chef John,<br /> This is a very late comment but I noted that nobody, including your good self, mentioned the 'booze'. In Italy and in every Italian restaurant where I've ordered Affogato it is either served with a shot glass of grappa or Italian brandy (which is excellent by the way), or the alcohol is poured over the coffee and ice-cream.<br />Genuine Italian Grappa is way too strong for most people, although it is an excellent liqueur. A good Italian brandy, such as Vecchia Romagna, goes really well with the cold brew coffee and is mellowed by the ice-cream, either sipped separately or poured into the cup or glass. Apart from an authentic Crepe Suzette this is my other all time favourite dessert. Love your work, Chef John. Bravo!KBOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103655610107432583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-44266058366078973592016-12-17T13:57:20.012-05:002016-12-17T13:57:20.012-05:00Hi! big fan here.

I have been drinking coffee made this way since graduate school in 1983.<br /><br />Williams-Sonoma has the equipment (albeit simple) to do this. <br /><br />BTW, the cold brew over vanilla ice cream with milk to make a milkshake is WAY good.<br /><br />I also use the cold concentrate in my banana bread recipe (from Moosewood Cookbook).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-49015342739293507162015-01-04T00:04:36.458-05:002015-01-04T00:04:36.458-05:00I just discovered your channel last week after see...I just discovered your channel last week after seeing your video on AllRecipes for mashed potatoes. I cracked up when you were talking about which kind of potato masher to use, and you said "what the hell is that?" I've been hooked ever since.<br /><br />This looks delicious, I heard about it a long time ago and forgot about it. I love all things coffee. But I have to admit, when you pronounced espresso as "expresso", a little part of me died inside. <br /><br />No matter, on to the next video...

Just tried your Satay and New Peanut Sauce recipe tonight, and it was awesome! Thanks for such great vids.<br /><br />I started cold brewing coffee about a year ago and love it. The original recipe I got from ineedcoffee.com, which didn't mix the coffee, used a more even coffee to water ratio (which I always thought was a bit too much), and - this is my question - covering it during its 12-hour sit.<br /><br />Is it necessary to cover the brew? If so, is an air-tight lid unnecessary, or does it even matter? Thanks for your help!<br /><br />Jeff S.JCShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14357101744839773911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-72909906133032832982013-08-06T20:34:16.777-04:002013-08-06T20:34:16.777-04:00@Chef John,

I own a small espresso bar and have used cold brew for years. In fact there are Toddy makers available that make very good cold brew. Fresh ground coffee is best. The grind is best on the course side, like a little larger than for a French press. If the grind is too fine you make mud. Someone asked about brewing length. I brew for up to 72 hours, but I also use a premium coffee. The result is a brew that is darker, richer and ,yes, more robust in flavor! This is my personal preference in coffee. I use it hot or cold forAmericanos, Lattes and Blended drinks. Experiment and have fun!Vettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-13430874963612183452012-07-22T22:57:40.628-04:002012-07-22T22:57:40.628-04:00Hi Chef John,
