Cold Brew Method

The cold brew is a whole different world.

Are you truly into coffee? Try this way of brewing; you might as well fall in love with this cold method.

Cold brewing requires time to be processed and understood, at first. It’s a method that demands time and attention to the details to obtain good results. Those who haven’t heard of this method might be reluctant to try it. If you’re among them, keep on reading, and you’ll be convinced otherwise. Patience pays off in time, and there’s no better way to prove it than by waiting to taste a cup of cold brewed coffee.

Cold brew is widely known, and most professionals favor this preparation as much as the commonly heated brew. Immersion is the most common way of preparing it, and it involves the placement of coffee in a vat of water and then letting it steep for 12-24 hours. Yes, it’s quite a long time, but it’s truly worth the wait.

Coffee takes longer to be extracted because of the water temperature; this is why you must let the coffee sit, so all its components are properly absorbed. Now, how does cold coffee taste? The reason people love this brew is that it leaves a smooth, soft taste in your cup. This taste is unlike hot brews, which tend to be more acidic and strong in flavor.

As for the methods usually used to brew coffee cold, there are three that are commonly used by baristas and household lovers of the beverage: Toddy Cold Brew, Coffee Sock, and the classical French Press. All three will be briefly explained for you to tell the difference between each.

Toddy and Filtron cold brew system

These two methods are in the same category because they’re very similar in essence. Both feature the same procedure with some differences in pieces (Toddy has fewer than Filtron). The process goes around a bucket for brewing coffee with water on top of the container that stores it for the brewing. The coffee gets filtered, and the drink is collected from the decanter.

Coffee Sock

This is more of a recent method to home cold brewing, compared to Filtron and Toddy. It consists of an organic cotton “sock” and a mason jar. The filter gets filled with coffee and then is steep in the jar. This is the easiest method to cold brew. What’s great about this process is that the sock can be washed afterward, as it is made of organic cotton.

French Press cold brew

Originally, this method is used for hot brews instead of cold ones. But French Press became a popular alternative for cold brewing. It is designed to make it easier to strain out the grounds and add the cold brew into any container. This device comes as an opportunity for those who still do not possess one of the equipment mentioned above.

As you can see, cold brews are a completely different world of coffee. You can obtain a different perception of the coffee you taste by just doing it with cold water and a different method. Of course, there are people out there who still prefer their coffee hot to boost their day.

There’s a coffee for every individual out there. Whether you seek for a cold brew or you enjoy it hot, That Coffee Roasters can supply you with the finest array of coffee beans in the market. All you have to do is contact them and state which type (roast, source, caffeine-full or decaf) is your favorite, and you’ll have it!
