What is Cold Brew? When we speak of Cold Brew, we are specifically referring to coffee that has been brewed with cold water – this creates a different drink entirely. The drink can be traced to 1600´s Japan where the brew methods evolved, from the basic immersion using a toddy, to the elegant cold drip towers. It is still these methods that is used today all over the world. The market is currently booming, due to the popularity with younger people who prefer cold drinks and a milder flavor compared to regular coffee. It is also appealing to health-conscious people because of its low acidity and mild sweetness means that it can be drunk without the dairy or sugar required to neutralize the bitterness of regular coffee. The Cold Brew trend is growing, and we see a lot of pre-packed and on-tap products aimed at mainstream audiences, with nitro brew as one of the latest hot news. Charged with nitrogen, pulled from a bar tap, so that it cascades into the glass with a head like a thick beer and a smooth and creamy texture. What are the benefits? When you brew a regular cup of coffee, you use boiling water at 92-98° C. When you brew Cold Brew you use cold water and it is brewed much longer, several hours in fact, to increase the contact time between water and coffee grounds. This extraction reduces the levels of acidity in the finished drink. And because it is brewed in cold water there is less bitterness, so you do not need sweeteners or diary to compare for this. Due to the fact that it is brewed in cold water you also have to use more grounded coffee and therefore the finished drink has a naturally high caffeine content. So this means that you can drink it as a energy drink without any additives at all. Tasty and delicious !
