Cold brew season is starting and we all have that one friend who is ALLLLLL about it. Some things you might hear from cold brew lovers this summer:
- “I don’t like to burn my tongue.” Hard to argue with that.
- “Dude, it’s healthier for you.” Actually, it might be! Toddy, the maker of the famed cold brewer, did a study revealing that cold-brewed coffee was 67% less acidic than hot-brewed coffee. If you avoid coffee because of heartburn or a sensitive stomach, cold brew might be right up your alley.
- “It’s so easy to make.” It really is though. And because it’s a slow brewing process, cold brew recipes are forgiving so you don’t have to be so precise in your measurements. Let 2 and 1/3 cups of coarsely ground coffee steep in 6 cups of room temperature water for 12 hours. Filter, refrigerate, and enjoy!

Should add a fourth to the list: “It just tastes better!”
Hey, I keep explaining to people that the cold brew is different from the hot brew. How do you explain / describe it in coffee industry terms, coffee-speak? For one, the cold brew is a much longer process, is that right?
Yes, because it does not involve heat, the cold brew process takes much longer to extract the coffee. But it can result in a less bitter, sweeter brew!

These days brewing a coffee is not a difficult task.The proper kind of coffee brewing system is significant if you want to have the right taste and aroma of your favourite beverage. In the coffee industry, there is a vast number of brewing devices and there are all centered on a certain brewing method.
The problem is, there is no single way to brew a cup of coffee. But the advantage is this – flexibility! Because there is no single way to brew one, you can pick a brewing method that can fully satisfy your senses.
