Cold brew is not just a trend anymore. Over the past few years, it has earned its place as a popular beverage around the world. And it\u2019s no surprise because temperature is not the only thing that differentiates it from regular coffee. Let\u2019s look at three reasons why you should give cold brew a try and maybe even make it a staple in your morning routine.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Coffee beans are full of oils, acids, and other compounds that give coffee its characteristic flavour. All of these compounds are called solubles because when you mix coffee grounds with water, chemical reactions start pulling these compounds from the grounds, creating a familiar dark brown solution best known as coffee.<\/p>\n

Solubles dissolve best at temperatures between 90 \u00b0C and 96 \u00b0C, which is why hot water brewing produces more full-bodied and aromatic beverages. But increased solubility has its downsides too. Boiling water causes coffee’s chemical compounds to oxidise and degrade, producing a sour and bitter taste. Brewing in cold temperatures yields very different results. For some people it makes coffee much more pleasant to drink even without additional cream and sugar.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s less acidic, sweeter, and smoother<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Those are three reasons already, but let\u2019s be generous and call it one \u2013 a much more pleasant taste. The lack of heat in the brewing process allows solubles to release much more slowly, which makes for a slightly sweeter, a bit more subtle, and waaay less acidic-tasting beverage compared to a regular or even iced coffee. If you want to cut out dairy or make your coffee a non-caloric beverage, cold brew might be just the choice for you because it\u2019s so much easier to drink it black!<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t go stale<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No heat also means the aroma will be much milder but long-lasting. And it\u2019s not just the aroma; cold brew stays fresh longer than hot-brewed coffee. It can last up to 4 weeks refrigerated without going stale. It will taste and smell just as fresh as when you made it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cheaper<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cold brew is often more expensive than regular coffee because it takes a lot of time and more coffee grounds to make. But the opposite is true when you make it yourself. And it\u2019s really easy.<\/p>\n

1. Add your favourite coffee grounds to your French press
\n2. Steep them in cold water for 12 hours (or even a full day)
\n3. Press down on the plunger after steeping
\n4. Pour the coffee over ice and enjoy<\/p>\n

Now you don\u2019t have to spend money on iced coffees in summer. Make cold brew at home that\u2019s superior in quality and taste and can be comfortably stored in large batches in the fridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
