Iced drip coffee has always been a very popular coffee in FrontStreet Coffee. Especially in summer, the baristas on Front Street will make ice-drip coffee every day to ensure that the refrigerator is full of ice-drip coffee of various flavors.
What is iced drip coffee?
As the name suggests, iced drip coffee uses "low temperature" and "slow drip" methods to extract coffee. Temperature affects the rate at which the oils, acids, and sugars in coffee break down. Depending on how quickly this process occurs, the aroma, taste, and texture of the coffee vary greatly. This is why different extraction methods can produce different qualities of coffee.
Features of iced drip coffee
Taste sweeter:
The aroma molecules in coffee are dissolved in order. The aromatic molecules will be extracted first, followed by the bitter molecules.
When brewing coffee with hot water, too many bitter molecules are dissolved due to improper temperature and time control, making the coffee taste bad. Ice-drip coffee is extracted with cold water for a long time, and only the good-smelling molecules are dissolved. The taste is more fragrant and smooth, showing the best original flavor of coffee.
Not bitter or sour is the main reason why iced drip coffee is loved by many people.
Durable:
When any food is heated, it becomes perishable because its molecular structure is destroyed. Coffee brewed with hot water has a very short shelf life, and the taste will begin to deteriorate if left for more than 45 minutes. Ice-drip coffee has not gone through a heating process, so it has a very long shelf life. It can be kept fresh in the refrigerator for two weeks after extraction. The fermentation process will also produce different levels of aromatic changes in the taste of the coffee.
Generally, the extracted ice-drip coffee is placed in the refrigerator12-24 hoursDrink it again and the flavor will be better.
Many people say that ice drops will be very mellow and smooth after being stored for a week. Front Street does not recommend leaving ice drops for a week. After all, there are bacteria in the air or bottles, and it is difficult to ensure the condition of the coffee after being stored for a long time. It is recommended that the drinking period of ice drops be in72 hoursWithin.
Because ice dripping has many of the above advantages at the same time, some friends have left us messages asking what kind of beans they should choose to make ice dripping if they like rich and mellow coffee.
Judging from the production experience of Front Street, if you like black coffee with a mellow and rich taste, it is recommended to use dark roasted Front Street Golden Mandheling to make ice drops. Because this bean adopts the unique local wet planing method, it can often show a unique aroma of caramel, spices, herbs and nuts when brewed. When made into ice drops, it will show a solid mellowness and fullness, just like eating a piece of sugar-free dark chocolate.
