Welcome Alex! I discovered cold brew coffee for myself recently. Do you mix it with anything else? And if, with what do you mix it?
It took me a couple of tries to find the right kind of coffee for it (flavor and intensity) and now I'm at the point where I start looking how to enhance the recipe.
I buy grinded coffee, mix 100g coffee with 1L water and let it sit for 8-10 hours overnight. Then I filter out the coffee grounds.
I usually mix in almond milk. Sometimes I'll add a splash of creamer if I'm feeling like I need a change-up. Other times I'll even have it just black.
I tend to buy flavored and ground coffee (hazelnut, vanilla, etc.) so I don't need to add much.
I use the Toddy Cold Brew Coffee maker (12oz of ground coffee and 7 cups of water) and let it sit for 24 hours. It might just be in my head, but I've noticed it's much stronger and flavorful if I leave it for 24 hours instead of 12 hours.
This actually makes a batch of concentrate which I then mix with water. You're supposed to do 1 part concentrate, 3 parts water. But I kind of adjust that as needed. If I'm in dire need, I might go 2 parts concentrate, 3 parts water. I don't pass a 50/50 split, I've done that once and it was way too much for me 🙈

Thank you for sharing this, the Toddy Cold Brew Coffee maker looks interesting, maybe I can get my hands on one in Germany.
Buying flavored coffee is indeed a great choice, I didn't think of that before. Maybe I'll try flavored coffee first and then try to let it sit longer 😊
They (somewhat recently) added paper filters and I LOVE that. The double filtering makes it smoother and much easier to clean up. With this set up I just leave the class decanter in the fridge and pour the concentrate into a mug as needed. Drinking 1-2 coffees a day, a single concentrate batch usually lasts me about 2 weeks.
P.S.
While I can't really speak the language, I'm actually half German. I've been to Germany many times 💯 I love it!

Thanks, I'll check it out, definitely sounds like a good investment.
Currently I use two measuring jugs. One to let it sit over night and another one to filter it into. I use the reusable filter from our "Klarstein aromatic" coffee Maschine to filter out the grounds.
This is a little bit messy and cumbersome...
P.S.
That's great! Maybe you'll learn the language some day. I'd say it'd not that hard once you got the basics.

No problem! I got mine from Amazon (not a referral link).
