Cold Brew: Journey to the Essence of Chill

Cold Brew, a name that immediately evokes a sense of cool, refreshing, and invigorating sensations in the minds of coffee lovers. Unlike traditional hot brewing methods, Cold Brew uses cold water to extract every drop of coffee essence. This process requires not only patience but also finesse in every step, every action, to achieve the perfect cup of coffee.

Cold Brew has been embraced worldwide as a comprehensive solution to meet the needs of coffee enthusiasts with its cold water extraction method that takes quite a long time. One could liken Cold Brew to a cold gateway; once you step inside, you’ll want to stay for a long time with the incredibly fresh coffee flavor. Cold Brew almost conquers all coffee aficionados, from the four-seasoned Northern Europe to the warm, energetic Asia.

Brewing Process

Cold Brew starts with selecting the finest coffee beans, lightly roasted to preserve their unique flavors. The beans are then coarsely ground to optimize the contact area with water. Using the appropriate coffee-to-water ratio is crucial, typically 1:8 or 1:10. This mixture is steeped in cold water for 12 to 24 hours, allowing each flavor molecule to slowly dissolve, resulting in a beverage with a rich, smooth taste without any harsh bitterness.

Always begin by choosing coffee beans that suit your taste preferences, but ensure they are freshly roasted and ground just before steeping. The grind size should range from coarse to very coarse to minimize bitterness and prevent the final product from feeling gritty. Use the right coffee-to-water ratio, usually 1:8 or 1:10, and steep in cold water at an ambient temperature of 5-10°C. This mixture is steeped for 8 to 15 hours, allowing each flavor molecule to slowly dissolve, creating a beverage with a rich, smooth taste without any harsh bitterness.

Flavor Experience

A perfectly brewed Cold Brew not only brings a cool sensation but also leaves the drinker mesmerized by its full-bodied, rich flavor that is neither too sour nor bitter. Cold Brew can be enjoyed straight or combined with milk, fresh cream, creating a variety of ways to enjoy it. Each sip of Cold Brew is a unique experience, a fascinating journey of discovery in the world of coffee.
