While the exact origins are debated, many believe a version of cold brew emerged in Kyoto, Japan, centuries ago, with Dutch traders using a similar method to transport concentrated coffee essence on long voyages.

Coffee Shop Staple
Most specialty coffee shops now offer cold brew on tap or in bottles, often showcasing different single-origin beans or unique flavor infusions.
DIY Culture
The simplicity of the cold brew process has made it popular for home brewing, with many coffee enthusiasts experimenting with different beans, grind sizes, and steep times.
Concentrate Usage
Cold brew concentrate is a versatile ingredient used in cocktails, desserts, and other culinary applications, demonstrating its integration beyond just a beverage.
Premium Feature
Cold brew boasts a smooth, naturally sweet flavor profile with low acidity, highlighting the inherent chocolatey and nutty notes of the coffee beans.
The extended steeping process in cold water extracts different compounds than hot brewing. This results in a less bitter, more mellow flavor. Expect chocolate, caramel, and nutty notes depending on the origin and roast level of the coffee beans. The absence of heat also minimizes the extraction of acids, making it easier on the stomach. Cold brew is often described as having a velvety texture.
Premium Feature
Grind Size Matters
Use a coarse grind, similar to that used for French press. A finer grind will over-extract and lead to a bitter taste.
Steep Time is Key
The ideal steep time is typically between 12-24 hours. Experiment to find what suits your taste, but avoid exceeding 24 hours to prevent over-extraction.
Filtration is Crucial
Use a paper filter or cheesecloth to remove sediment after steeping. This will result in a cleaner, smoother final product. Double filtering can further refine the texture.
Water Quality
Use filtered water for the best flavor. The quality of the water significantly impacts the final taste of the cold brew.
