When I make cold brew I tend to use a filter bag, makes cleanup a lot easier. While I would love to go on a tangent about sourcing local specialty coffee & grinding just to your dose to keep your beans fresh, those don't matter quite as much for cold brew as they do for espresso & pour over. What really matters is if you enjoy the end result, so if there's anything that you don't particularly enjoy about your cold brew you can determine the root cause & adjust accordingly.

Huh, I was wondering why 10% of our patrons disappeared overnight. It's normal for a drop-off at the start of the month but not normally such a large one
I've also got a fun one like that from working security!
I was working the solo overnight shift during Christmas break at a factory & noticed a gift-wrapped cylinder sitting in one of the common areas. I picked it up to bring to the lost and found & decided to see if there was a name tag or something. Well, there wasn't a nametag, but there were a few wires poking out that made me realize I was possibly holding a pipe-bomb.
I called 911 while freaking the fuck out and was told to stay calm and very still while they sent someone to save my sorry ass. After about 30 minutes the Michelin Man's blue cousin strides in, asks me a few questions, & decides it would be safe enough to take the Christmas gift from hell outside to deal with.
While the bomb was being taken care of I took a few cops to the security room to download all of the footage from the past few days. Turns out the gift-wrapped grenade was juuuust out of the cameras view & there was no way to tell exactly when it had been left there.
Pretty much any cloth "cold brew bag" will do. There are metal tea infuser style ones that work as well, but personally I prefer the result from a cloth filter over metal
