1. What is cold coffee?

Cold coffee is often confused with iced coffee. In fact, they are completely different drinks. Iced coffee is coffee made with boiling water and cooled with ice before serving.

Cold extract coffee is made by a different brewing process, with ground coffee beans soaked in cold or room temperature water for 12 to 24 hours. Coffee beans are not affected by high temperature in the brewing process, which is the difference. Cold-extracted coffee retains acids and oils, otherwise the calories used in traditional brewing will oxidize these acids and oils. Because the acid and oil are well preserved, cold-extracted coffee has a softer, sweeter taste and does not have the bitterness common in ordinary coffee.

2. How to make coffee to help you lose weight?

The biggest health benefit of cold-extracted coffee is to increase the content of antioxidants in order to increase antioxidants. My personal recipe is to make it with cinnamon. Coffee is a fruit rich in antioxidants. But when brewed with hot water, some of these compounds will be destroyed or oxidized, or they will not be extracted.

Extraction at low temperatures for a long time can keep these healthy substances in the extraction process, and they play a role in delaying the aging process and preventing many diseases, including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and arthritis. Cold coffee also has a mild irritation to the stomach because it is not so sour.

When coffee is brewed at high temperatures, a compound called chlorogenic acid is converted into quinic acid, which is very astringent and can damage the gastric mucosa. If you feel heartburn or upset your stomach after drinking coffee, you may find other drinks or snacks to help calm your body system.

The same is true of the bitterness of traditional hot coffee. Almost everyone likes to drink sweet coffee with sugar and milk, which may be an unconscious reaction to cover up the bitterness. On the other hand, cold extract is less acidic and tastes like chocolate, citrus and nuts, which can save your stomach and prevent you from eating unnecessary sugars or calories.

Both cold and hot coffee can increase fat metabolism to help you lose weight and help you exercise without more effort.

The addition of these things to the coffee will make you fat

Now that we know that cold coffee can be a way to lose weight, make sure we don't reverse this benefit by adding the wrong thing to our coffee.

For example, sugar increases empty calories and inflammatory factors. Cold coffee tastes sweeter and more fruity, so there is no need to add sweeteners, cream and other condiments to the coffee, including ordinary coffee cream, which contain unhealthy ingredients such as high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, trans fats and carrageenan.

American coffee is the use of semi-automatic coffee machine to extract Espresso and then add water to American coffee, American coffee can also make iced American coffee, which is faster than cold coffee, and is also very low-calorie coffee.
