The difference between cold coffee and cold coffee which tastes better, cold coffee or cold coffee?

A cup of iced coffee can be said to be the highest enjoyment in a hot summer. Not to mention enjoying it in a coffee shop, it would be more relaxing if you could have a cup of iced coffee at home. However, when we try to write iced coffee, it almost doesn't taste good except ice. Today, I happened to see an article in TokyoWalker that interviewed a "coffee expert" at Starbucks in Japan about how to make good iced coffee at home. Take advantage of the weekend holiday, try to translate it for the reference of interested readers: the original report is quoted from "I live in my house!" I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know.

"if you want to make a good cup of iced coffee, you must pay attention to five points. If we can achieve these five points, our home-made iced coffee will certainly be able to" upgrade "in terms of delicacy!" That's what Starbucks experts say...

First of all, the first thing to pay attention to is "weight". When you want to drink hot coffee, the so-called golden ratio is 10 grams of coffee using 180c.c water. However, when making iced coffee, you need to double this ratio. In other words, 20 grams of coffee use 180c.c water.

The second point is "particle size". Generally, when using filter paper to filter coffee, depending on the type of coffee, the suitable particle size is about between "medium" and "fine powder". When buying, you should first ask the store to confirm the particle size of the coffee powder.

The third key point is "water". Because the water quality in Japan is soft water, tap water can be used directly. If mineral water is used, soft water is recommended. The most suitable water temperature is between 96 ℃ and 90 ℃. If you use high temperature water, it is easy to produce astringent taste. By the way, turn off the fire after boiling the water, and when the foam in the water disappears completely, the water temperature will fall just around 96 ℃.

The fourth point is "freshness". Coffee beans are also fresh food, of course, the fresher the better. Surprisingly, the refrigerator is not the best place to keep coffee beans. This is because coffee has a deodorizing effect, when refrigerated in the refrigerator, it is easy to absorb the peculiar smell in the refrigerator. When preserving coffee beans, pay attention to avoid light, heat, and reduce contact with air. So ordinary cabinets are a good place to keep them.

In fact, the four key points so far are applicable to both cold and hot coffee.

The fifth key point, "rapid cooling", is the key to making delicious iced coffee, the most important point. If you want to keep the aroma and delicacy of coffee in liquid, you have to put it directly into the refrigerator.

It seems that the method of making iced coffee is surprisingly esoteric. After listening to the introduction of the expert, the reporter began to reflect: "when making iced coffee, wouldn't it be better to ice the hot coffee?" The wrong idea. This summer, according to these five key points, how about challenging the production of real "iced coffee"?
