Basics of Cold Brewing

When it comes to cold brew coffee, the thing you should keep in mind is that less is more.

A coffee brewed at 210 degrees will have more aroma compounds and flavors than a coffee brewed at 72 degrees, but the heat will also extract most of the bitterness. A good cold brew balances flavors of dark chocolate, caramel, and ripe black fruit with a pleasant mild acidity.

Freshly ground whole beans are the best choice for cold brew coffee. It is recommended to use medium roasted beans, which are heated at a lower temperature than dark roasted beans.

One of the ways to get the perfect cup of cold brew coffee is to always follow these basic steps:

• Combine room temperature water and freshly ground coffee in a large French press.
• After ten minutes, a large amount of ground coffee will form on the surface. You should stir it.
• After the initial stirring to combine the ingredients, a little extra stirring during the brewing process is even better.
• The French press (one of the many cold brew methods) should be covered with plastic wrap and kept in the room
• Temperature 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the plastic wrap and crush the grind to separate concentrated.

• You can then pour the concentrate into a large measuring cup or a fine mesh strainer over a pitcher.
• The final step is to dissolve the concentrate one-to-one with cold water and pour it into a glass with plenty of ice. look!

This is the best choice for a number of different reasons. Most importantly, the kibble will be the quickest to start dripping.
