Cold brew coffee is best at6If you drink it within a day, the taste will be best on the third day, but it depends on the extraction method and the beans.
Americano coffee is made by extracting coffee liquid at high pressure and high temperature from an Italian coffee machine and pouring it into a cup filled with ice water. The Americano coffee is complete. Cold brew coffee is much more friendly to the people. It does not require an expensive espresso machine or even a grinder. You can buy freshly ground coffee powder, seal it in a filter bag, soak it in ice water, and put it in the refrigerator for about 12 hours, and the cold brew coffee is ready. Isn't it simple and cheap? It can be done easily at home.
Filtered cold brew can be stored in the refrigerator for about 5-7 days. Do not drink it for more than a week. In terms of taste, the longer the fermentation time is, the stronger the flavor will be. The taste of most beans begins to decline after 2-3 days.

This time FrontStreet Coffee plans to use hanging coffee bags to make cold brew. Here are 10 types of hanging coffee listed by FrontStreet. You can choose according to your own preferences.
How to make cold brew?
Step 1: Prepare two packs of ear-hanging coffee
Grinding thickness and parameters are indeed troublesome for many people. Fresh grinding requires preparing a grinder first, which is too costly. At this time, only two bags of fresh ear-hanging bag coffee can easily meet the requirements for making cold brew coffee! Simple and affordable! The cold brew coffee here is made using the Front Street Strawberry Candy Bag, which is a Gesha blend made from Costa Rica and Panama. It has the flavor of raisins, strawberry fudge, and pink flowers, and is suitable for a variety of methods.
Generally, the extraction of cold brew coffee is slower, and less substances are extracted than hot water extraction, so the ratio of powder to water is larger, usually about 1:10. In other words, a pack of hanging ears (10 grams of powder) is mixed with about 100 grams of water, and the coffee grounds absorb water. In the end, you may only get about 80 grams of cold brew coffee. After waiting for such a long time, of course you have to make more at one time to drink.
Step 2: Soak and refrigerate
Prepare a container, no matter what material it is made of, it can be plastic, glass, ceramic, etc. It doesn't matter whether it has a lid or not, but make sure it is deep enough to hold coffee and water. First, open the ear bag, pour the coffee powder into the container (don’t throw away the ear filter bag! Keep it for use!), then add the ice-water mixture. Low-temperature extraction is the characteristic of cold brew coffee. Extraction with 4°C water and extraction with 24°C water will give you different flavors~
Stir gently and evenly. Make sure your coffee powder is moist and soaked. Then put it in the refrigerator to soak for 12 hours. The soaking time is very important. If the time is not enough, the extraction will be insufficient and the flavor will be weak. If the time is too long... it will be very hard to wait! Ha~
Step 3: Filter
After a full 12 hours of waiting, the coffee steeping and extraction is finally completed! At this time, you need to prepare a cup for cold brew coffee. Have you lost the filter bag on the front? Pour the soaked cold brew coffee into the filter bag and wait for it to be completely filtered, and you will have your cold brew coffee.
That’s it, it’s a super simple way to have delicious cold brew coffee, and it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. You can add ice to adjust the concentration, or add milk or other things you want to flavor.
Slow work leads to fine work, cold brew coffee is like the essence extracted by time, every drop is so precious. Whether it’s to beat the heat or to try something new, if you love coffee, you definitely can’t miss the delicious taste of cold brew coffee!
Cold brew coffee can be very strong, and you can make it less strong by adding ice cubes. How much ice cubes you add depends on your preference. For the sake of our health, Front Street recommends drinking the cold brew within 5 days, so that the coffee will not easily go bad.
