RIVERS - Strainer Pot Heron

Here is how to use the Strainer Hot Heron.

Heron is 1L size coffee pot designed to make cold brew coffee. Cold brew coffee is a method of extracting coffee with water that mellows the bitterness and allows you to taste the delicate and sweet flavor the coffee beans compared to iced coffee. Of course, this will depend on the type of beans used but we find that cold brew is more suitable for enjoying specialty coffee then just iced coffee

Heron strainer can brew about 800ml. Although the pot is 1L, you will be using about 80g of coffee beans and the liquid will be absorbed by the beans so the yield will be about 800ml. This will make about 4 to 5 glasses of cold brew coffee and will be a good size to serve at home.

How to use（Watch the video in bellow）

※Tips for brewing delicious cold brew coffee
・It is essential to use high quality beans for a good brew as cold brew method will extract the flavors directly from the beans.
・Many people ask if it is better to brew in the fridge or in room temperature. From our experience, we think we can get the flavors out better in room temperature. However if the brew time is going to be long its a good idea to brew in the refrigerator.
