Half gallon mason jar. Dump the ground coffee in, pour water on top, stick it in the fridge overnight. Grinds will have sunk by then, so decant the coffee off and when the sludge starts to creep up, do not set the mason jar upright, you must keep it tilted and keep the slow deliberate pour but now its going into a prepped chemex. I don't worry about the last 30% of the grinds at the bottom. Nor will press the grinds, as it releases a lot of bitter tannins. What drips, drips. Also, I found a seep longer than around 14 hours to be bitter and have off tastes.
