Did you know that iced coffee and iced coffee are actually different?

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

In hot summer, beer must be chilled, drinks must be iced, and watermelons must be frozen! It can be said that there is no ice, hot enough to melt every minute!

For Kang fans who like to drink coffee, coffee should be iced in order to have a cool summer.

But did you know that iced coffee is actually different from iced coffee?

First of all, you should know that this iced coffee refers to iced coffee, and there is also a kind of iced coffee called iced coffee, do not underestimate the difference between the word, there is an essential gap between the two!

Chilled coffee is the same as chilled beer and chilled drinks. After brewing coffee with thermal extraction, it is cooled rapidly by adding ice cubes, and then there is the chilled coffee you see.

Ice drop coffee is a coffee brewed by cold extraction using ice cubes, ice water or cold water.

Compared with iced coffee, because thermal extraction will break down tannic acid (also known as tannic acid) in coffee into pyrosylic acid, so that the brewed coffee is miscellaneous and bitter, and the content of caffeine is also high!

Ice drop coffee is different, because the temperature of the water used for extraction is so low that tannic acid can hardly be decomposed, and the content of caffeine extracted will be reduced by about 90%! Both taste and taste go far beyond the coffee brewed by hot extraction!

Hot extraction, as the name implies, is to brew coffee powder in hot water and then filter out the coffee grounds.

Ice drop coffee is the use of the characteristics of coffee, let ice water drop slowly, until completely soaked, let coffee powder soak in ice water, and then use extremely slow speed, bit by bit extraction. It usually takes 8 to 15 hours of dripping to extract a cup of coffee! Therefore, real ice-drop coffee must be expensive and often need to be ordered in advance. Therefore, it is rare to see the name of iced coffee on the menu of many cafes!

Although it is slow to extract coffee in this way, the extracted coffee liquid is completely unastringent and bitter. At the same time, because the caffeine content is greatly reduced, even if you drink more, there will be no side effects such as insomnia, palpitations, palpitations and so on. Every drop can be called pure enjoyment!

(iced coffee)

Ice drop coffee (water drip coffee) originated in Java, Indonesia, and was invented by Dutch immigrants, so it is also called Dutch Coffee and Dutch Coffee (Dutch Coffee). Because this unique extraction method requires ice water to be dripped and condensed for a long time, it is also called ice-brewed coffee (coldbrew coffee cold).

The taste and flavor of ice drop coffee are closely related to the roasting degree, water volume, water temperature, droplet speed, grinding thickness and other factors of coffee beans.

A real ice drop coffee, at least after dozens of hours of full filtration and fermentation, finally presents a unique aroma that is difficult to replicate, unforgettable.

For those who really understand ice-drop coffee, they drink not only coffee, but also a feeling, a mood that gradually settles down while waiting. As if time delay, a little bit of warmth!
