At CaroCoco Roasters, we believe that cold brew is not just a beverage; it’s a refreshing experience that brings out the best in coffee. As more coffee enthusiasts discover this method, it’s essential to understand what makes cold brew so special and how we craft it to perfection.
What is Cold Brew?
Cold brew is a method of making coffee where coarsely ground coffee beans are steeped in cold water for an extended period, typically 12 to 24 hours. This process results in a smooth, rich coffee concentrate that can be enjoyed over ice or diluted with milk or water. Unlike traditional brewing methods that use hot water, cold brew tends to have lower acidity and a naturally sweeter flavour.
The Benefits of Cold Brew
- Smooth Flavor Profile: One of the standout features of cold brew is its smooth, mellow taste. The cold steeping process extracts fewer bitter compounds, leading to a balanced cup that’s easy on the palate.
- Low Acidity: For those who are sensitive to acidity, cold brew is a fantastic alternative. Its lower acidity makes it gentler on the stomach, allowing more people to enjoy the richness of coffee without discomfort.
- Versatility: Cold brew can be enjoyed in various ways. Whether served straight, with milk, or blended into a refreshing coffee cocktail, its versatility makes it a perfect choice for any occasion.
Crafting the Perfect Cold Brew at CaroCoco
At CaroCoco Roasters, we take great care in crafting our cold brew. Here’s how we do it:
- Quality Beans: We start with high-quality, freshly roasted beans sourced from renowned coffee regions. Our careful selection ensures that the unique flavours shine through in the cold brew.
- Coarse Grinding: The beans are ground coarsely to optimize extraction during the steeping process. This grind size is crucial for achieving the right balance of flavour.
- Steeping Process: We steep the grounds in cold, filtered water for 12 to 24 hours, allowing the coffee to develop its rich, nuanced flavours. The slow extraction process is key to creating a smooth cup.
- Straining: Once the steeping is complete, we strain the mixture carefully to ensure a clean and clear final product.
