WHAT MAKES A PERFECT CUP OF COLD BREW?

We tested different brewing methods to understand which methods produced the best taste, clarity and concentration.

  • Infusers were intuitive, but produced cloudy, poor coffee.

  • Slow drippers produce smooth, clear coffee but can be finicky.

  • Infuse + drain brewers that steep overnight are the best of both worlds - they’re a foolproof way to make smooth, flavorful coffee.

INSPIRED BY NEW YORK CITY WATER TOWERS

We made multiple foam form studies to iterate quickly and refine proportion. Once we had a promising direction, we would prototype a hollow brewing chamber to see how proportions affected the brew taste, clarity and concentration.
