Iced Perfection: Cold Brew Coffee Beans

As coffee lover knows, there are many different ways to make cold-brew coffee. The two most popular methods are using a French press or an iced coffee maker. While both methods will produce a delicious cup of cold brew, the type of bean you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your final drink.

Why Choose Cold Brew?

Cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee beans in cold water for an extended period of time, typically 12 hours or more. The result is a coffee that is less acidic and has a smoother, richer flavor than coffee brewed with hot water.

There are several benefits to choosing cold brew over traditional brewed coffee, including:

– Cold brew coffee is less acidic than hot brewed coffee, which can be easier on your stomach.

– The extended brewing time results in a smoother, richer flavor that is less bitter than hot brewed coffee.

– Cold brew coffee has a higher caffeine content than hot brewed coffee, so it can be a good choice if you’re looking for a morning pick-me-up.

What Is the Best Cold Brew Coffee to Water Ratio?

The coffee to water ratio for cold brew coffee is typically 1:8 (coffee to water), but it can vary depending on the strength of the coffee you prefer. For a weaker cold brew, use a 1:10 ratio. For a stronger cold brew, use a 1:6 ratio.

To make cold brew coffee, simply combine coffee and water in a 1:8 ratio in a large pitcher or jar. Stir to combine, then cover and let steep for 12-24 hours. Once the cold brew has finished steeping, strain it through a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove the grounds. The resulting coffee can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

The Effects Of Temperature On Taste

The temperature has a big impact on the taste of coffee. Cold brew coffee is typically brewed at a lower temperature than hot brewed coffee, which results in a smoother, less acidic flavor.

If you’re looking for a cold brew with a more intense flavor, try brewing it at room temperature or using warm water. This will result in a more bitter flavor, so be sure to adjust the coffee-to-water ratio accordingly.

Dark Or Light Roast?

The roast of the coffee you use for cold brew will also impact the flavor. A light roast coffee will have a more delicate flavor, while a dark roast coffee will be more bold and more intense.

If you’re not sure which roast to choose, we recommend starting with a light roast coffee and adjusting it according to your preferences.

Should you use filtered water?

Yes, we recommend using filtered water for cold-brew coffee. This will help to remove any impurities that could impact the flavor of the coffee.

What is the best grind size for cold brew coffee?

The grind size for cold brew coffee should be on the coarse side. A finer grind will result in a more bitter coffee, while a coarse grind will result in a weaker flavor.

If you’re not sure which grind size to use, we recommend starting with a coarse grind and adjusting it according to your preferences.

How Can I Make Cold Brew at Home Using a French Press?

Making cold brew coffee in a French press is easy! Simply add coarsely ground coffee and water to your French press in a 1:8 ratio. Stir to combine, then cover and let steep for 12-24 hours.

Once the cold brew has finished steeping, slowly depress the plunger to filter out the grounds. The resulting coffee can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

If you’re looking for a cold brew with a more intense flavor, try brewing it at room temperature or using warm water. This will result in a more bitter flavor, so be sure to adjust the coffee to water ratio accordingly.

What Is Nitro Cold Brew Coffee?

Nitro cold brew coffee is cold brew coffee that has been infused with nitrogen gas. This gives the coffee a creamy, foamy texture and a slightly sweet flavor.

Nitro cold brew is typically served straight from the tap, without any additional milk or sweeteners.

If you’re interested in trying nitro cold brew, we suggest starting with our Nitro Cold Brew Blend. This blend is specially crafted to produce a smooth, rich cold brew coffee that is perfect for iced coffee or straight from the tap.

What Is the Best Way to Store Cold Brew Coffee?

Cold brew coffee can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. We recommend storing it in a glass jar or pitcher with a lid to keep it fresh for as long as possible.

If you’re not going to drink all of the cold brew coffee within 2 weeks, you can also freeze it in ice cube trays and then store the cubes in a freezer bag. This will help to preserve the flavor and quality of the coffee for longer.

How Do I Make Iced Coffee with Cold Brew?

Making iced coffee with cold brew is easy! Simply combine cold brew concentrate with water or milk in a 1:1 ratio. Pour over ice and enjoy!

If you find that the coffee is too strong, you can add more water or milk to taste.

For a sweeter iced coffee, try adding a simple syrup or flavored creamer. We also love using cold brew concentrate to make frappes and iced lattes.

Making cold brew with a Toddy Cold Brew System is easy! Simply add coffee grounds and water to the brewing container in a 1:8 ratio. Stir to combine, then cover and let steep for 12-24 hours.

If you’re looking for a cold brew with a more intense flavor, try brewing it at room temperature or using warm water. This will result in a more bitter flavor, so be sure to adjust the coffee-to-water ratio accordingly.
