Flip the BOD® for a few seconds and then flip it back to the brew cycle position. This maximizes the saturation of the co�ee grounds and also helps to prevent any dry grounds at the end of your brew cycle. For a richer and bolder co�ee extract, flip the bod over for a few seconds again near the middle of the brew cycle, and then return it to the brew cycle position.

STEP 7
Brew for 12 - 48 hours at room temperature NOT in the refrigerator.
Most people brew between 18-24 hours. If you like it stronger, you can brew the grounds longer. See bean chart to establish your ideal brewing time. Brewing at room temperature will maximize extraction and flavor.

Flip the BOD® over at the end of the brew cycle.
The co�ee extract will automatically transfer into the extract chamber for storage in the refrigerator. To maximize yield, allow extract to drain for about 5 minutes. Each brew cycle will produce 24 oz. of extract, (8-12 servings).
If you want to RE-BREW the grounds, please see step 9.

STEP 9
Unscrew brew chamber from the extract chamber and attach the extract chamber cap.
The extract chamber is fully portable and should be stored in the refrigerator for co�ee on demand.
BREW INSTRUCTIONS

RE-BREW CYCLE
STEP 10 After you have decanted your co�ee extract into the extract chamber for storage, you can RE-BREW the co�ee grounds a second time. When doing a RE-BREW cycle, add just enough water to cover the top of the filter. Attach the Brew Chamber cap to begin re-brewing. Re-brewing produces a ready to drink co�ee that is stronger and less concentrated than the extract made in the first brew cycle. RE-BREW can be served straight (if you like it super strong), or diluted to taste. Extraction time for RE-BREW is 8-24 hours and will yield approximately 3-5 cups of co�ee (8 oz.) per brew cycle.

COLD EXTRACTION COFFEE BLENDS CUSTOMIZED FOR YOUR BOD® SYSTEMThe BOD® was designed to make cold extraction easy, and our cold extraction co�ee blends have been customized for your BOD® system. Each 8 oz. bag is pre-ground and pre-measured to the exact size needed to fill the BOD® stainless filter. NO grinding, and NO measuring of co�ee or water required, making brewing and re-brewing a cinch. Each bag produces 24 oz. of co�ee extract per brew cycle that makes 8-12 servings of iced or hot co�ee. RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS COFFEE™We taste tested dozens of co�ee varieties before developing our cold extraction co�ee blends. Made with 100% Arabica beans, and ground “Extra Coarse”, using a state of the art “roller grinder” that produces a uniform co�ee grind ideal for cold extraction which maximizes flavor and yield without sediment. SAVE MONEY AND MAKE COLD BREW COFFEE AT HOME FOR JUST .36 CENTS PER SERVINGWhy buy cold brew at the store or your local co�ee shop for $2 - $6 per serving when you can make better tasting cold brew at home that’s customized for your BOD® system for just .36 cents per serving?

BREW TIPS
19
Should I Brew In The Refrigerator Or At Room Temperature? You’ll get a much better extraction and the best co�ee flavor by brewing at room temperature. There’s no need to brew in the refrigerator and will only slow down the extraction process and produce less flavorful co�ee.
Brew CycleMany people find it convenient to start a brew cycle the night before or the morning of their last serving, depending on desired brew cycle time. Once brewed, co�ee extract can be stored in the fridge for 2 weeks. After brewing, you can enjoy delicious co�ee that’s fast and convenient. If you like your co�ee stronger, brew it longer! If you prefer your co�ee really bold, brew for up to 72 hours. We recommend 18-24 hours for optimal flavor. What’s your brew number? See our website for more information, www.BodyBrew.com.
Second Brew Cycle, RE-BREW:The BOD® Cold Brew Co�ee System was optimized for re-brewing co�ee grounds. In fact, many people who try re-brewing make it a habit. Whether it’s increasing your co�ee yield or saving you money, it all makes perfect sense. RE-BREW is stronger but not as concentrated as the first brew cycle if you like it very strong can either be consumed straight, or diluted. See RE-BREW for more information.
Co�ee ExtractThe BOD® Cold Brew Co�ee System produces a convenient and delicious co�ee extract for making hot or iced co�ee on demand. It’s so smooth and rich you may even love it black or find yourself using less cream and sugar.
Serving Size InformationFor an average 8 oz. cup of co�ee, add 2-3 oz. of co�ee extract to 6 oz. of hot water. This is an average and can be made stronger or milder according to your personal preference.
Mid Brew Flip Turning the BOD® upside down midway through the brew cycle agitates the co�ee grounds which we have found makes a richer and bolder co�ee. Just flip the BOD® over for a few seconds and then flip it back to the brew cycle position to experience co�ee with a taste profile that some people rave about.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
20
How Does Co�ee Made With The BOD® Taste?Smooth, rich and never bitter. You won’t ever go back to overheated, burnt tasting, hot brewed co�ee.
What Kind Of Co�ee Drinks Can Be Made With The BOD®?The BOD® makes a co�ee extract that can be used to customize and create virtually any kind of hot or iced co�ee drink according to your individual tastes. Cappuccinos, espresso style drinks, gourmet iced co�ee drinks, desserts, and more. Add the amount of co�ee extract to your personal taste, and your co�ee drink will be ready in seconds.
Why Not Just Use A French Press To Cold Brew Co�ee?This is a question we asked ourselves. We hired a third party laboratory to get an answer to this very question. Lab tests showed that the levels of oily compounds called Diterpines (Cafestol in particular) remained virtually the same regardless of whether co�ee was hot brewed in a French press or cold brewed in a French press. Researchers believe it’s the pressing of the co�ee grounds that pushes out the oily compounds into the co�ee. The BOD® co�ee system has low levels of Diterpines (Cafestol and Kahweol), by using cold brew infusion, rather than pressing.
How Strong Is Co�ee Made With The BOD®?As strong as you want it to be, you can even drink it straight. The BOD® makes a co�ee extract that gets stronger the longer you brew it. If you like stronger co�ee, brew it longer, 18 hours or more. After brewing, the co�ee extract can be adjusted to your individual taste by adding more/less water to dilute. If you prefer stronger co�ee, simply add more co�ee extract. If you like it milder, add less extract.
How Convenient Is The BOD® Co�ee Maker?The brew process takes 12-24 hours. However, after it’s done brewing the co�ee extract is very easy to use and allows you to make virtually any co�ee drink in seconds. BodyBrew® also o�ers various companion accessories to easily take your co�ee extract with you wherever life takes you.
How Much Co�ee Does My BOD™ Use In Each Brew Cycle? The BOD® was designed to use ½ pound (8 oz.) of ground co�ee per brew cycle. This is also approximately 3 ¼ cups measuring by volume. This will make 8-12 servings, depending on how much co�ee extract you use. The BOD® does use more co�ee than hot brewing, however most think the taste and health benefits are worth it. Unlike drip co�ee, there is no wasted co�ee. People usually drink all of their co�ee extract and with the BOD®, you can re-brew the co�ee grounds a second time and get an additional three 8 oz. servings per brew cycle.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
21
How Many Cups Of Co�ee Will I Get Per Pound With The BOD®? That depends. Assuming you use the recommended 2 oz. of co�ee extract per serving, you will get 24, eight ounce cups per pound of co�ee. If you RE-BREW, you’ll get an additional 6 cups per pound of co�ee. Under this example, your system will yield 30 cups of co�ee per pound of co�ee. If you pay $10.00 per pound for co�ee, this comes to just .33 cents per serving!
How Much Co�ee Extract and How Many Servings Of Co�ee Can Be Made? The BOD® co�ee system will make approximately 24 oz of co�ee extract per brew cycle. That amount of co�ee will make about 8-12 cups, (8 oz. each) per brew cycle. However, the number of servings depends on how much co�ee you use for each serving. If you use more co�ee extract, you’ll have fewer servings. If you use less co�ee extract, you’ll get more servings.
What Is The BOD® Co�ee System Made Out Of?We chose the highest quality materials to make the BOD®. We partnered with Eastman® to use their leading edge, proprietary plastic called Tritan™. Its dishwasher durable, stain resistant and BPA/BPS/PVC and phthlate free with not estrogen or androgen activity. The filter is made out of high quality stainless steel that’s made to last for years.
Does The BOD® Cold-Brewed Co�ee System Make Co�ee With Less Acid?The BOD® produces a co�ee extract that is naturally low in total acids and tannic acid compared to drip co�ee. Is Acid Bad For Me?Some types of acid, like tannic acid in co�ee can stain teeth and accelerate acid wear and may also cause stomach upset.
What Kind Of Grind Should I Use In My BOD®? We recommend a “coarse grind”. Finer ground co�ee is not recommended because the co�ee grind sediment can end up in your co�ee cup.
Are The Easy Pour Twist Caps Leak Proof?No. The easy pour twist caps were designed for pouring, decanting, and upright storage only and are not leak proof.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
22
How Long Will The Co�ee Extract Stay Fresh In The Refrigerator? Up to 3 weeks but for optimal flavor and freshness 1-2 weeks is best.
What if there are dry grounds at the end of my brew cycle? At the beginning of your brew cycle simply flip the BOD® over for a few seconds and then flip it back to the brew cycle position. This maximizes the saturation of the co�ee grounds, and also helps to prevent any dry grounds at the end of your brew cycle.
Can I Use The BOD® To Cold Brew Tea? Yes, just add 1/6 pound of loose tea, including herbal tea, into the stainless filter and fill brew chamber with cold water. Cold brew for 12 hours, flip the BOD® System over to drain and pour into the extract chamber for storage. When you want to make a glass of tea, hot or cold, just add 2 oz. of tea concentrate to 7 oz. of water to taste.
Is It Better To Use Gourmet Or Specialty Co�ee In The BOD® System? The BOD® makes any co�ee taste better. Even cheaper or lower quality co�ee can taste great. Feel free to use your favorite co�ee or experiment with di�erent roasts. Artificially flavored co�ee can produce strange after tastes due to the chemical process or flavors used to create those type of co�ees, we recommend non-flavored co�ee. For more convenience, no grinding and no measuring, you can order our special BodyBrew cold brew blend, made specifically for cold brewing in the BOD®. Go to www.BodyBrew.com for more details.
Why Not Just Buy Cold Brew Co�ee Extract At The Store?The main reason is cost, the other reason is freshness. It’s estimated that cold brewed co�ee at the store costs up to 75%* more than co�ee made with the BOD® cold brew system. Costs vary based on store and brand. Buying already bottled cold brew online can also be very costly due to shipping water weight.
Why Not Just Buy Low-Acid Co�ee?The low-acid co�ee blends currently on the market that we have tested, taste watery and bland. Many companies also add additives to reduce the acid and this can impact the taste. With the BOD®, you control what co�ee you brew with and we recommend keeping it au naturel!
*Based on brewing using co�ee costing $10 per lb.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
23
How Should I Care For My BOD® Co�ee System? We recommend hand washing with a soft cloth or sponge. Periodically, you should scrub the stainless steel filter to keep it free from debris to maximize its filtering ability. The BOD™ is dishwasher durable and can be washed on the top shelf. Just make sure to remove the timer before washing.
What Does BPA Free Mean?BPA is a chemical called Bisphenol A which is found in numerous plastic consumer products. The chemical BPA has raised health concerns because it appears to mimic the e�ects of estrogen, interfering with hormone levels and cell signaling systems. Previous studies have shown that people exposed to high levels of BPA also have a greater risk of developing certain types of cancer. The BOD® is made from Tritan™ plastic by Eastman® which is free from the chemical BPA.
How Many Cups Per Pound Does The BOD® Yield Compared To Hot Brew?Initially, the BOD® uses more co�ee than hot brewing but when you consider that there is no co�ee waste and you can brew the grounds twice, there could actually be a net gain in co�ee savings, depending on the hot brew method your comparing to and how much co�ee extract you use. For example, if you use a drip co�ee maker, co�ee waste is common and estimated to be approximately 30% due to co�ee becoming stale and bitter or simply making too much.

SAFETY WARNING
24
WARNING: IF YOU ROAST YOUR OWN BEANS, BE AWARE OF OFF-GASSING:
Gases can form from freshly roasted beans which can build up pressure during the brew process and may cause the product to leak or even burst under pressure. The unit with the Extract Chamber attached is air tight and the gases from the fresh roasted grounds have nowhere to go. To prevent this, do not seal the product o� with the Extract Chamber when brewing. Instead attach the Brew Chamber Cap to the Brew Chamber and leave in the open position when brewing to prevent any buildup of gases. This only applies to freshly roasted beans.
When you are done brewing, you can remove the cap and re-attach the Extract Chamber and flip the unit over to decant your co�ee extract. This simple step will allow for brewing the freshest co�ee without concern for leaking or bursting.
