As a popular product in coffee shops, cold brew coffee is one of the ways to brew coffee without a coffee machine. For many people, cold brew coffee is indeed the epitome of a good cup of coffee, because it is not only easy to make, but also has many benefits. Let Front Street summarize its various advantages and how to make it for everyone.
1. Good news for those who like caffeine
First, a significant number of drinkers are as interested in the intensity of caffeine as they are in the flavor of their coffee. If you're looking for a quick pick-me-up, cold brew coffee contains three times the caffeine of regular coffee. This is because during the slow steeping process, the liquid has more time to absorb the internal substances from the coffee grounds, including the caffeine that keeps us energized.
2. Easier weight management
As one of the representatives of black coffee, cold brew tastes softer than American coffee and richer than hand brew, so it is suitable for the taste of most coffee drinkers. In addition, studies have shown that caffeine can help the body burn natural calories and contribute to effective metabolism, so drinking a cup of cold brew before exercise can accelerate fat loss efficiency.
3. Low acidity
The original meaning of cold brew is that under low temperature conditions, small molecular substances that tend to be aromatic and sour are more easily released in cold water. In addition, coffee shops will give priority to lightly roasted coffee beans, such as Front Street Red Cherry, Front Street Strawberry Candy, Front Street Butterfly, etc. Therefore, the coffee tastes light and is mostly sour, sweet and fruity.
4. The simplest brewing method
In addition to the previous three points, one of the most attractive aspects of cold brew coffee is its production method. It does not require cumbersome steps and equipment like other production methods. As long as you have raw materials, bottles and water, plus a refrigerator and tools to filter coffee grounds, you can easily achieve caffeine freedom at home. Precisely because it is not restricted by equipment or location, cold brew can be said to be the coffee that people have at their fingertips.
How to make cold brew in a coffee shop
First, let’s choose a coffee bean that suits our preferences. If the cold brew coffee you want to drink is full of juice, sweet and sour, then you can choose slightly lighter roasted coffee beans. We recommend Front Street Red Cherry, Front Street Sidamo alo, and Front Street Butterfly;
If we want to drink cold brew coffee with a very specific and outstanding flavor, then we can choose beans with a deeper degree of fermentation, such as Front Street Xizhao, Front Street Big Navel, and Front Street 90+eleta Gesha. If we want to drink something with a heavier taste, then we can choose some medium-to-dark, dark-roasted coffee beans, such as Front Street Queen's Manor and Front Street Whelan.
This demonstration uses the recently popular Qian Street Mozart coffee beans to make it. The specific parameters are as follows:
Then inject the target amount of water! Because Front Street uses 80g of coffee powder, 800ml of room temperature water will be poured in.
After pouring the water, stir it to speed up the moistening of the coffee powder!
The bottle can then be sealed and placed in the refrigerator.
When the steeping time is reached, we can take out the coffee, filter out the coffee grounds with filter paper, and enjoy delicious cold brew coffee!
Cold brew coffee steeped in Front Street Mozart tastes very full of juice, with flavors of grapes, berries, wine, and a hint of purple floral aroma similar to lavender.
