What is ice drop coffee? Why is ice drop coffee more expensive?

Ice drop coffee, also known as water drop coffee, is a way to make coffee drinks.

Ice drop coffee is also known as Dutch coffee or Beijing coffee. Cold water or ice water is also used to make ice droplets, but unlike cold-soaked coffee, ice droplets are made by slowly infiltrating the coffee powder with water. In terms of production time, the production of ice droplets only takes about 5 hours, which is about half of that of cold bubbles.

Ice drop coffee uses ice water, cold water or ice cubes to extract coffee. The extraction process is very slow and often takes several hours, so ice drop coffee is more expensive.

The principle of ice-brewed coffee is that the coffee itself is compatible with water and is extracted bit by bit by melting ice. The coffee extracted has different flavor according to the roasting degree, water quantity, water temperature, droplet speed, grinding thickness and other factors.

Coffee powder is 100% low-temperature soaked and moist, the extracted coffee taste is strong, smooth, rich, admirable, and the flavor is outstanding. Adjust the speed of water droplets, use cold water to slowly drip, with a low temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, leak for a long time, so that the original flavor of coffee can be reproduced naturally.

The advantage of ice drop coffee is not sour and does not hurt the stomach, because using this method to make coffee, most of the coffee beans selected are deep-roasted coffee beans such as Mantenin, because "shallow roasting is sour, deep roasting is bitter but strong", so ice drip coffee is not sour. Another reason for choosing deep-roasted coffee beans is that iced coffee will be diluted with ice cubes, so deep-roasted beans must be selected to filter so as not to be strong enough.

The reason why the taste of ice-drop coffee is not astringent is because of the use of cold water. Other coffee brewing methods often use hot water, while hot water with too high temperature will break down some chemicals in the coffee and release astringency, while ice drip coffee is completely filtered with cold water, and the coffee is 100% soaked and wet. the extracted coffee tastes smooth but not sour.
