Making your own Best "Cold Brew" style coffee - the 10-Step Process to Coffee Bliss

I've been developing my own perfect "cold brew" coffee at home since 2015.  Since then I've developed techniques to improve the flavor and simplify the process.

Here's my current recipe:

Ingredients Needed:

• Dark-Roast Coffee Beans
• Water  
• Optional: Sugar syrup

Equipment Needed:

• Coffee maker, such as Mr. Coffee
• Coffee Bean Grinder, such as this model by Bunt
• A clean bottle or pitcher, with cap
• Quality Coffee Filters

Process:

1. Fill coffee maker with water
2. Put a new, quality paper filter into brew basket
3. Grind beans very finely
4. Put finely-ground beans into filter
5. Turn on machine to start brewing process
6. Turn off coffee maker immediately after brewing.  DO NOT DELAY!
7. Put used grounds and filter into compost bin
8. Let brewed coffee slowly cool to room temperature (roughly 4 hours)
9. Pour contents of brewing carafe into a bottle
10. Put bottle in refrigerator overnight.

Enjoy black, or with your favorite additives.  Note that sugar syrups are more effective in this brew, in comparison to granulated sugars.  This is due to the measurably lower sugar solubility within cold coffee.
