There is a fundamental difference between iced coffee and iced coffee, and there are also differences between iced coffee beans and ordinary iced coffee beans.

It is often seen that some coffee lovers confuse ice drop (or ice brew) coffee with hot coffee with ice cubes, so I would like to introduce the difference between them and the fundamental difference in connotation.

Ice drop coffee refers to a coffee beverage extracted by soaking at a low temperature for a long time in water below 5 degrees Celsius.

Iced coffee or iced coffee refers to a cold drink coffee that is quickly extracted with hot water and then added with ice or cooled rapidly.

There is a great difference between the two in the way and time of extraction.

1. Hot coffee is made with hot water above 80 degrees Celsius or 85 degrees Celsius Second, must be rapid extraction, this is because too slow coffee extraction will cause excessive miscellaneous smell, and the main substance causing miscellaneous smell is tannin, boiled tannic acid will be decomposed into pyrosyn acid, and tannic acid in hot water is very easy to melt and decompose, it is the main culprit of our coffee is too bitter, we generally have to be careful not to extract too much tannin and caffeine.

2. Ice drop coffee is extracted with a temperature that must be lower than 5 degrees or even close to the freezing point, so the various ingredients contained in the coffee are not easy to extract in ice water, so it is necessary to take the way of fine grinding and slow extraction. the specific method is to let the coffee powder soak in ice water for a long time and extract it at a slow drip rate, which usually takes about 8-12 hours. Its greatest advantage is that tannic acid, which we hate most, hardly decomposes at all in cold ice water. Although caffeine decomposes a little in ice water, there are many other major ingredients in coffee.

The fundamental difference between hot coffee and iced coffee lies in the difference in extraction temperature and the content of substances in coffee, rather than cold or hot drinks in the end. Of course, hot coffee can be cold with ice, while iced coffee can also be heated and hot.

There are two ways to tell the difference between iced coffee and iced coffee:

First, after at least dozens of hours of full dripping and fermentation, the real ice drop coffee will have an unspeakable and strange aroma immediately after opening the bottle, which is the kind of aroma that hot coffee absolutely does not have, and this aroma cannot be copied in any other way. Unforgettable. So when you doubt whether it is a real ice drop coffee, ask the barista to bring up the original ice drop coffee without sugar and milk and smell it first.

Second, the taste and feeling, ice drop coffee does not have any astringency, very little caffeine content, taste very clean and refreshing, that is, even drinking a few cups will not have any palpitations or insomnia and other negative effects. Hot coffee with ice only lowers the temperature, but caffeine and tannin are not reduced, and there will be a significant difference in taste and feeling after drinking.

The origin of ice drop coffee

On the Indonesian island of Java, which was once a Dutch colony in the 17th century, it is said that the coffee extraction method used here was introduced by Dutch businessmen, so it was named Dutch coffee Dutch Coffee. This kind of coffee drips with ice water for a long time, so it is also called "water drip coffee".

Ice drop coffee is characterized by dripping in ice water for 8-12 hours at room temperature. although the aroma is not strong, it emits a unique aroma, which is impossible to have when extracted with hot water. The biggest advantage of this kind of coffee is that it is quite pure and has no extra flavor, but it can give full play to all the ingredients in the coffee.

There are two ways to extract iced coffee, one is the traditional method still used in many parts of Indonesia today-to put the coffee in a lead bucket, and the other is to use an all-in-one machine to drip (the icebreaker we often see in coffee shops). Using the dripping principle of ice drop coffee utensils, people can not help but think of laboratory tools, good function, the appearance also looks quite spectacular.
