Part 4: The best brewing method for acidic coffees:
Cold Brew!

I think cold brews are the best for Kenyan coffees. They tone down the acidity a bit and are soooo easy to make. Same recipe as above, coarsely ground and 18 hours in the fridge. I make 1 liter at a time using 60 grams of coffee in the process!
