Cold Brew

Cold brew is coffee made by steeping coarse coffee grounds in cool or room-temperature water for 12 to 24 hours without using heat.

How It Works
    • Extraction: No heat is ever applied, which extracts fewer bitter compounds and oils than hot brewing.
    • Concentrate: It results in a strong concentrate that is typically diluted with water, milk, or ice before drinking.
    • Taste Profile: It is smoother, naturally sweeter, and about 50% to 67% less acidic than traditional hot-brewed coffee. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Cold Brew vs. Iced Coffee

    • Cold Brew: Steeped cold for hours, creating a low-acidity concentrate.
    • Iced Coffee: Brewed hot first (using a standard method) and then poured over ice, which dilutes the flavor and keeps a sharper, more acidic bite. [1, 2]

Popular Variations

  • Kyoto-Style (Slow Drip): Water drips slowly through coffee grounds over several hours rather than a full immersion soak.
  • Nitro Cold Brew: Infused with nitrogen gas through a tap to create a thick, velvety foam head similar to a stout beer.
  • Local Options: If you are around Tirur, spots like Steam N Mugs Tirur serve options like Classic Cold Brew and Cranberry Cold Brew
