Heat & Sun Ritual
The Mason Jar Setup
Everything you need for the long, smooth sip.
Cold brew doesn’t require much. A large mason jar, a fine mesh strainer, good coffee, and a little patience. That’s the whole setup. Here’s what we use and recommend for the Heat & Sun ritual.
The Essentials
Gear We Use & Recommend
01 · Janelle’s Pick · Daily Use
Wide-Mouth Mason Jars — 32 oz & 64 oz
The foundation of the Heat & Sun ritual. I personally use and store my cold brew in these every day. A wide-mouth 32 oz mason jar is perfect for a single day’s cold brew. The 64 oz half-gallon jar is ideal for batch brewing — steep overnight, strain in the morning, and you’re set for the week.
Best for: Daily cold brew · Batch brewing · Fridge storage
02
Fine Mesh Strainer
After the steep, you need a clean strain. A fine mesh strainer over a second mason jar works perfectly — smooth, sediment-free cold brew concentrate ready for ice.
Best for: Straining cold brew · Clean concentrate · Sediment-free cup

Cheesecloth Bags
For an even cleaner cup, use a cheesecloth bag directly in the mason jar. Add grounds, steep, lift and squeeze. No mess, no separate straining step — and a beautifully clear cold brew concentrate.
Best for: Extra-clean concentrate · Easy cleanup · Reusable brewing

Insulated Tumbler — Easy to Carry & Clean
This is my personal favorite and what I use every single day. Pour your mason jar cold brew in and it stays cold for hours — at the ballpark, poolside, or on the road. Easy to carry, easy to clean. The one I always reach for.
Best for: On-the-go cold brew · All-day sipping · Ballpark & pool

The Coffee
Built for Cold Brew
The best gear in the world won’t save bad coffee. Start with Boondoggle or 1431 — both roasted specifically for the long steep and the smooth, cold sip.
