What is cold brew coffee?

Cold brew coffee is produced by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period (18-24 hours). While the coffee infuses slowly in the water, this creates a strong, concentrated brew,

How is cold brew coffee different from regular coffee?

As the coffee grounds are steeped in cold water rather than hot, this process takes a lot longer than regular coffee in order to extract the right amount of flavour, caffeine and colour.

The slow, gentle infusion process results in a smoother, less acidic flavour than regular coffee. This is because fewer of the coffee’s bitter compounds are extracted in cold water, making cold brew coffee slightly sweeter in taste. It’s often slightly stronger than regular coffee, but can be diluted with water, if you wish.

How to serve cold brew coffee

Cold brew coffee can either be served over ice for a refreshing drink, or warmed up in the microwave. When heating, you can add a splash of water, if desired, to slightly dilute the coffee.

question

Should it be brewed at room temp, or in the fridge?

You have probably found the answer by now but here goes anyway.

Cold Brew can be brewed refrigerated or unrefridgerated but the colder it's brewed the longer extraction will take, so leave it longer to brew.

The longer, colder brew however does not benefit or harm the final brew. It just needs…

When I've forgotten to factor in the 24 hours, I've had success halving the quantities and the recommended steeping time to make the perfect amount for a strong breakfast beverage

tip

I found that putting the grounds in after the water meant it floated at the top. I gave the mason jar a shake to make sure it was all immersed and it ended up fine. So I would suggest either giving it a shake or putting the grounds in first and then the water.

I found that after 24 hours it had all sunk to the bottom. No need to stir or shake, just be patient and it all works a treat.
