One reason why cold brew coffee is so popular is that it’s very easy to make, whether in a coffee shop or at home. One is the taste of cold brew coffee, which not only conquers many coffee lovers, but also many friends who are new to coffee will immediately fall in love with cold brew coffee after drinking it.
In this era of specialty coffee culture, everyone is pursuing more of coffee showing the unique flavor of the place of origin without any other additives. Compared with high-temperature extraction, the use of low-temperature steeping can better express the unique charm of a coffee, and can also make the final taste of the coffee more in line with the ideal flavor that everyone expects.
"Coffee extracted at low temperature has a cleaner and fuller taste"
Compared with most other extraction methods, long-term low-temperature extraction usually produces more sweetness and a more mellow body in the coffee. At the same time, compared to the iced American style we are most familiar with, cold brew has a higher caffeine content, so it has a better refreshing effect.
Last week, the Coffee Science Foundation and the Specialty Coffee Association released a new research report on cold brew coffee, which analyzed that coffee extracted by low-temperature steeping will have more floral and fruity aromas and less bitter, sour and imperfect flavors than coffee extracted at high temperature.
This study identified four sensory attributes that showed statistically significant changes related to extraction temperature (the changes were true for all origins and roast levels tested). Of these four attributes, bitterness, sourness, and rubbery taste were all higher in coffee extracted at higher temperatures, while floral aroma was higher in coffee extracted at lower temperatures. Of course, there are additional sensory attributes that can be significantly affected by temperature for a given origin and roasting method.
Using the same coffee beans, the same grams, and the same grinding method, the various chemical substances in the coffee particles dissolve in hot and cold water at different rates.
During the high-temperature extraction process, the tannic acid will decompose into pyrobutyric acid, and various fatty acids will dissolve faster and more in hot water, bringing bitterness and sourness. However, under low-temperature extraction, as time goes by, the types of acid compounds will gradually decrease, so the sour and bitter taste of cold-brewed coffee will be much reduced. At the same time, the volatilization of the coffee aroma will be reduced, and the aroma can be locked in the coffee.
Today's coffee beans are becoming more and more refreshing in flavor, but at the same time they are becoming more and more acidic, which is in great contrast to the mellow and rich coffee of the past. But for mass consumers, not everyone can accept the sour taste of coffee, and they also don’t like the traditional mellow taste. Therefore, cold brew coffee has a soft sour taste, less bitterness, can show the unique floral and fruity characteristics of coffee, and can be loved and recognized by modern consumers.
