Can this be used for cold brew coffee? Would coffee grounds pass through the mesh?

This is an extremely fine mesh. It is much like a coffee filter. I imagine that the grounds would be incapable of passing through as small grain cheese does not fall through. What a perfect way to reduce our impact on mama earth! I think I might sew a few filters for my husband.

This muslin is so tight i use it to filter my home made wine and jelly. We drink tea but i think that you could use it to filter coffee. It will stain but it washes well.

Yes it could. It is basically a thin muslin. The grounds would not pass through.

The adapter does let grounds get into the piping and that could cause coffee to not flow, but a paper clip can fix that. I would only use this to finish up any kcups and then get vie cups

Yes you can if it's a coarse ground. There is another brand that has a fine gold mesh that works well for coffee and tea.

I haven't tried it myself, but I know some folks who have tried heating it up and have said it isn't as good. Just because this is for cold brewing, I would recommend sticking with cold coffee.

Mine didn't come with a mesh basket. I'm not sure if you could use a paper filter and loose coffee grounds. It's possible that it could overflow if the filter and grounds didn't allow the water to flow through at a quick enough pace. I have only used pods. They worked well. I think you can buy a mesh pod to use your own coffee grounds, but I haven't tried that either.

It would depend on the trap mesh your French press uses. This espresso is grounds fine into a powder so if the mesh doesn't have very tiny holes some of the bean will mix with the water portion in the end product. Great idea though. I am a fan of the French press myself. Hope this helped.

It doesn't need to be punctured because the mesh is already breathable. Side note: the breathable mesh makes the coffee go stale earlier, so make sure to keep them in an airtight container after opening.

No, I think the mesh is too large for making coffee - it's a great idea though; maybe somebody will make a finer mesh ball.

I haven't had personal experience making nut milk, but the filter might separate regular-grind coffee grounds from brewed coffee. Don't know if that's an equivalent mesh. Note that the strainer is not mechanically strong enough to apply pressure to whatever is being strained. Gravity only here.

My K-Cup said a medium grind as you don't want to clog the mesh. I bought three K-Cups to fill with my Cuisinart grinder set for 4 cups. It is the same amount I used in my 20 ounce Mr. Coffee. After grinding, I would divide the grounds among the three cups ~ almost up to the top of the mesh. I am concerned because I am supposed to use filtered coffee (medically) and not sure at this time if the mesh counts or it has to be paper filters. That is why I originally went from French Press to drip. I miss my favorite coffee when I buy K-Cups and have not chosen "the" coffee as a favorite yet though I like the flavorful light roast.

I wouldn't brew hot coffee with it as you are defeating its purpose, if a Hot coffee is wanted take some of the cold brewed coffee and heat it up or add boiling water to the cold brew.

The package shows usage in a regular coffee maker but I would not attempt it due to the fine powder grind of the coffee. I agree with others as to how these grounds should be used. You could end up with a sludge type of residue at the bottom of the carafe!

I have no idea! I bought this for a Farberware Yosemite SS percolator. It fits, but it doesn't do anything to keep grounds from getting mixed into your coffee. I decided to keep it for putting into a tub drain to filter out hair. Now that's really gerryrigging; it's good for something. BTW, Heybaile, this filter has to be smaller than the metal grounds-holder or it wouldn't fit into it. Are you trying to use it without the metal grounds-holder? I agree that it is too short; it doesn't hold enough coffee for an 8-cup percolator. But...if taller, one couldn't put the metal top on and then the cover! It's a useless filter for anything coffeepot-related unless one makes only 4-5 cups of coffee...with grounds.

Commercially ground espresso is a bit finer than what I can do with my home burr grinder, but I think it should work fine. The output filter is a very fine nylon(ish) mesh, not holes through the plastic container. I'd certainly try it.

I have not used this specific product for cold brewing, but I regularly use a different, larger Bodum French press to cold brew. I use the same amounts of grounds and water that I do for making hot coffee, but I let it set overnight or for at least 8 hours. Then I pour it over ice to drink. I think it makes great cold coffee.

I think that this mesh will be the correct porous-ness between the coffee filter and wire mesh strainer. I purchased it to use when make liver cleanse tea.

I use a regular or drip grind with this filter. However, since I use a Mr. Coffee grinder, it varies. The mesh is extremely fine so any grind would work. It depends on the user's preference.
