In the 1600s, the Dutch crew were on their way back to Europe from the then colony of Indonesia. Because there was no hot water in the ship, they could not drink hot coffee, so they came up with iced coffee. Coffee extracted with cold water is soft and palatable and smells good to the nostrils, not only to the crew, but also to ordinary people. "

The above is a story about the origin of dripping coffee that is often heard in the market. in fact, it is made up by Japanese coffee makers to promote curling kettles, and it is one of the marketing methods. As a matter of fact, Western countries, including the Netherlands, do not mainly use the Japanese method of drip-by-drop extraction (drop-by-drop extraction of ice water), but the so-called "Cold-Brew" method of soaking coffee powder in cold water for a long time. Moreover, there is no so-called Dutch Coffee coffee in the West, but later coffee makers used it in marketing after listening to the story of the origin of Japanese-style ice drop coffee.

It is generally believed that Dutch coffee (Dutch-Coffee) is the general name of water drop coffee and ice drop coffee, but in fact, Europe and the United States mostly use immersion quenching rather than drip.

Modern soaked cold coffee, also known as "ice brewed coffee", was made after Cornell University chemical engineering graduate Todd Simpson accidentally drank ancient Peruvian espresso in 1964. "Toddy". Todd Simpson was a coffee lover himself, but his wife had a bad stomach, so he tried to make coffee that didn't hurt his stomach, so he invented the earliest ice-brewed coffee.

Toddy Cold Brew System, an iced coffee brewer developed in the name of Todd Simpson.

It is impossible to tell who invented the ice drop coffee, but the West calls the Japanese ice drop coffee "Kyoto-style coffee" or "Kyoto coffee". Judging from the history of the opening of the oldest coffee shop in Kyoto in the 1930s and 1940s, it is speculated that it may have first appeared in the Kyoto bar in the same period, but the fact remains to be verified.

Ice drop coffee series launched by large Japanese glass manufacturers.
