What is cold coffee? Why do so many people want a cup of cold coffee? What is the charm of cold coffee?

In the end, what is the difference between cold extract and other coffee? It's good. where is it? How is a cup of authentic cold extract made?

People who drink iced coffee have gone to have a cold extract.

It's too cool to drink a cup of iced coffee on a hot day. For the iced coffee we usually drink, first extract a hot espresso with an Italian coffee machine, then cool it with ice and cook it for 5 minutes.

The method of hot water extraction not only makes the coffee taste quickly, but also stimulates a large number of acidic substances, which is also the reason why the coffee is sour and bitter, and even has a taste of ash water.

In contrast to the cold extract, due to the lack of high-temperature assists, the coffee tastes slowly, so it is necessary to extend the contact time between cold water and coffee and wait 12-24 hours to extract the fragrance.

In the low temperature environment, the acid continues to sleep, so the entrance of the coffee is soft and smooth, there is no acidity, and there is a hint of smart sweetness in the aftertaste.

Compared with the sour and bitter iced coffee that forces you to take a mouthful of stuffy ice coffee, it is really difficult to refuse this cup of freshness and sweetness and coolness to the heart.

How to make a cup of cold extract with unique flavor?

There are two ways to make cold extraction: soaking and dripping.

To put it simply, the soaking method is to soak the freshly ground coffee powder in a large bucket of cold water. After 14 hours of extraction, filter out the coffee grounds, refrigerate and store the coffee liquid, and drink it with ice.

The soaking method pays attention to the mastery of extraction time, which is suitable for chain coffee operation.

On the contrary, individuals want to follow the print gourd, at home to use a kettle or glass bottle to make a cold extract, it is difficult to make a good drink, but also troublesome.

For one thing, insufficient or excessive extraction time will destroy the cold flavor.

Second, if the utensils used are not professional, such as filter paper, can not filter too small coffee grounds, cold extraction into the mouth is muddy and rough taste. It is more difficult to do cold extraction at home, which is much harder than making plum wine.

Another drip method is a bit like a hospital drip: a drop of ice water is soaked into the coffee powder. After 2-8 hours, the coffee with round taste and rich aroma is extracted, and finally refrigerated for 12-48 hours. It is a cup of pure and delicious cold extract.

As opposed to cold extraction, there are two traditional methods of coffee: drip filter, in which hot water is dripped through the coffee powder on the filter paper to extract coffee; in Italian style, hot water passes through the filter handle of the boiler under high pressure to extract the concentrated liquid. For example, the American coffee we often drink is Italian concentrate and hot water. Lattes and cappuccinos are coffee drinks mixed with Italian concentrate and milk. What these two traditional practices have in common is that coffee is extracted by hot water.
