A few days ago, Starbucks data showed that sales of cold drinks now account for 70% of total beverage sales. Among them, cold coffee is increasingly loved by a new generation of consumers. Why is a simple cold brew so popular? In this article, we will talk about the charm of low-temperature extracted coffee.

The Science Behind Cold Extraction

Many people choose cold-brewed coffee not only for its easy drinking temperature, but also for its smooth, full-bodied coffee taste and better display of the unique aroma of a coffee bean.

Unlike hot/hot coffee, cold coffee is a coffee product that uses cold or room temperature water to soak coffee powder and refrigerate it for 8-12 hours.

In terms of flavor, high temperature will cause tannic acid in coffee to decompose and cause acid and bitterness. Studies have shown that cold extraction coffee has 67% less acid than hot extraction. Cold-extracted coffee is generally welcomed because of its low acidity.

Low temperature conditions and prolonged contact with coffee powder make only small molecules of flavor substances extracted; therefore, only small molecules such as fruit acids and flowers are dissolved. Those flavor substances with large molecules, such as smoky flavor, baking flavor, etc., are difficult to extract.

This is why cold coffee smells less aromatic, but tastes smoother. Using the same coffee beans, cold coffee will taste fuller and cleaner than hot coffee ~

What are the benefits and effects of drinking cold coffee?

Cold coffee has more caffeine

The amount of caffeine depends on the type of coffee and how long it has been extracted. The longer the extraction time, the higher the caffeine content. Therefore, coffee extracted slowly at low temperatures has a better refreshing effect than coffee extracted quickly at high temperatures.

Cold-extracted coffee has weak acidity

Cold coffee is more alkaline than hot coffee. Hot coffee has a higher concentration of titratable acidic compounds and a lower pH. If you are prone to acid reflux or heartburn, hot brewed coffee can trigger these discomfort. Again, cold-brewed coffee may not be one of the many advantages of this beverage.
