Nice clean 5 gallon bucket. I use 1 pound of coffee, 1 and 1/2 gal water, let it steep overnight. Strain thru a gold filter. Keep in the fridge, in a gal jug. I don't work real hard to get all the liquid out of the grounds. Too much work and sediment. There are those that say, a second filtration, thru paper makes this a better cup, but I don't have the patience to wait. It takes FOREVER to filter that much coffee thru paper.
