Iced coffee is not iced coffee, nor is it ice brewed coffee.

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

Ice drop coffee is made by extracting coffee powder bit by bit after the ice has melted. The coffee extracted has different flavor according to the roasting degree, water quantity, water temperature, droplet speed, grinding thickness and other factors. In summer, many coffee shops will offer ice drop coffee, the beautiful ice drop coffee maker itself is also a beautiful scenery of the coffee shop, coupled with a refreshing taste, so many customers are willing to order a cup of ice drop coffee in summer.

The reason why the taste of ice drop coffee is not astringent is mainly due to the use of cold water low temperature extraction. Other coffee brewing methods often use hot water, and hot water with too high temperature will extract some chemicals from the coffee, resulting in a sense of astringency! The water drop coffee is completely filtered by cold water, trying to restrain the bitter substances from being extracted, but if the extraction time is too long, there will also be a sense of astringency, so the extraction time of ice drop coffee is generally controlled at about 8 hours. the powder-to-water ratio that I prefer is 1:13, which can be adjusted according to my preference. After dripping, many people will put it away and put it in the freezer for 24 hours to ferment. I don't like the fermented taste, so I usually drink it with ice puck or ice cubes.

Ice drop coffee maker is generally expensive, if you want to drink an authentic cup of low-temperature extracted coffee at home, you can try cold-extracted coffee as follows: grind coffee beans (as thick as sugar), add ice water according to your favorite powder, put it in the freezer and refrigerate for 15-18 hours, then take out and remove coffee grounds with filter paper to get cold-extracted coffee. Iced coffee is not iced coffee.

Instant coffee, iced coffee, ice brewed coffee, heat extracted coffee. Any kind of coffee, after adding ice, is iced coffee.

But ice drop coffee does not belong to ice coffee, ice drop coffee is a special term for the process of extracting coffee.

When extracting ice drop coffee, grind the roasted coffee beans into sea salt coffee powder and put it into the extraction bucket, then slowly drop the coffee powder with cold water of about 15 degrees, the dripping rate is about 80 drops per minute, and then after a two-hour process, soak the coffee powder in cold water for about 1.5 hours, and then begin to slowly filter for 8 hours, the whole process takes about 12 hours.

Secondly, ice drop coffee is not ice brewed coffee.

Also cold extraction, many people will confuse ice drop coffee and ice brewed coffee, in fact, their extraction process is very different-ice drop coffee is cold water drip extraction, ice brewed coffee is cold water immersion extraction.

Ice-brewed coffee is to soak the coffee powder in cold water for 20 hours, then filter out the coffee powder, leaving the liquid is ice-brewed coffee. The flavor and concentration of ice-drop coffee is richer than ice-brewed coffee because it is extracted by drip filtration.

Moreover, the taste of iced coffee and iced coffee is so different, don't think about "hot coffee tastes almost with ice". How can coffee extracted with cold water for a long time at low temperature and low pressure be the same as coffee extracted for a short time with high temperature and high pressure?

So, both iced coffee and iced coffee are cold. What's so special about iced coffee?

Draw the point, iced coffee is cold to drink, and ice drop coffee does not have to drink cold, it can be hot to drink!

What I want to tell you is that ice-drop coffee with high coffee concentration mixed with boiling hot water can really stimulate all the aroma left in the coffee liquid, and the coffee flavor is also very rich, no less than a cup of hot coffee made by a coffee machine. Now it is winter, everyone likes to drink some hot drinks, I strongly suggest that everyone try to drink hot ice drop coffee, I am sure you will like it!
