Hot summer? Try the coffee, new darling!

Benefiting from the third wave of coffee (third wave of coffee), the whirlwind of ice drop coffee (cold drip coffee) has swept the global coffee industry. From London to Paris, from Tokyo to Amsterdam, from New York to Manhattan, and then to Asia, if there is fashion in the coffee industry, ice drop coffee is definitely a popular style in recent years.

The difference between iced coffee and hot water coffee is that if you brew coffee in hot water, no matter how much you adjust the parameters, no matter how much you adjust the parameters, the final coffee will still have a bitter taste. This is inevitable because when we brew coffee powder in hot water or steam, we release a chemical called tannin, which gives the coffee a bitter taste. On the other hand, ice drop coffee is soaked in ice water of about 5 degrees Celsius, so the coffee produced can not only completely avoid the annoying bitter taste, but also stimulate the sweetness of the coffee powder itself.

Originated from the invention of the Dutch

When it comes to iced coffee, we have to mention the story of Dutch businessmen in the great sailing era 300 years ago. At that time, the custom of drinking coffee became popular in the Netherlands, and with the beginning of the era of great navigation, the Dutch also spread their sails and wantonly expanded their trade territory in order to make profits. However, in the course of the voyage, Dutch businessmen found that hot caffeine is rich in oil and oil, but if they want to make coffee on board, the steep journey on the ocean does not allow them to have time to make coffee.

Finally, on a trade trip to Indonesia, they developed a new way to brew coffee in ice water, soaking ice water and coffee powder and then filtering out the coffee, allowing them to store it for a long time. It not only removes the bitterness of hot coffee, but also brings sweet new flavor. Dutch specialty coffee was born and gradually evolved into today's iced coffee.

The characteristics of ice drop coffee

Ice drop coffee in addition to cool to relieve the heat, in fact, there are many unexpected benefits, let the editor lead you to in-depth understanding!

First, the taste is sweet and not bitter

Ice drop coffee has been very popular in recent years, mainly because of its sweet taste. When we brew coffee with hot water or steam, it releases tannin and produces a bitter taste. The bitterness of ice drop coffee is reduced precisely because ice water is not easy to form "tannin".

Second, long-time extraction

It often takes at least 3 hours to make a cup of ice-drop coffee, blending the bean flavor into the ice water drop by drop. However, the control of drip speed is a crucial point! Water and coffee powder have enough time to blend with each other, if the dripping speed is too fast, the taste is not easy to melt; if the low speed is too slow, it will make the coffee ferment.

Third, the appreciation period is long.

Ice drop coffee can last longer than hot coffee. After brewing, the flavor of hot coffee will change over time, while iced coffee can be stored in the refrigerator for two weeks after extraction. In the process of placement, the coffee will have different layers due to fermentation. Generally speaking, drinking within a week after extraction has the best flavor.

Fourth, do not hurt the stomach

Many people refuse to drink coffee on the grounds that they have stomach discomfort and have stayed away from coffee ever since. But in fact, apart from avoiding poor-quality, defective coffee beans, this problem is not easy to occur. In addition, because ice drop coffee is extracted with cold water and ice cubes, it reduces the stimulation released by hot water brewing, which is a great blessing for coffee lovers who are afraid of hurting their stomach.

Ice drop coffee inherits the spirit of Dutch businessmen who dare to try and take risks. After more than 300 years of history, it still represents a brand-new trend in the coffee industry. In the hot summer, with a cup of cool and charming ice drop coffee, are you moved?
