Our four common iced coffees are iced American coffee, iced hand brewing, cold extract and iced coffee. Some friends may not be familiar with these four kinds of iced coffee, so Qianjie tries to explain their characteristics and differences from several aspects.

From the point of view of the mode of extraction, both Ice American Coffee and Ice hand Coffee are formed by rapidly cooling the prepared hot coffee with ice, while cold extraction and ice drop coffee beans are formed by cold water extraction throughout the process. Iced American coffee uses an Italian coffee machine to extract espresso and add an appropriate amount of ice water to cool and dilute the coffee. "detailed production method"

The ice hand is to pour out the hot coffee by hand (slightly stronger than the normal product), and then add ice to cool and dilute it. "detailed production method"

Cold extract coffee is to soak the coffee powder in cold water, usually soak for a long time, and then filter out the coffee grounds before drinking. "detailed production method"

图片

Ice drop coffee is the use of ice water in the form of drops into the coffee powder layer to extract coffee liquid, generally it takes a long time to make, the filtered coffee liquid needs to be refrigerated before drinking. "detailed production method"

Production time from the production time, iced American coffee and ice hand coffee is relatively fast, only a few minutes to complete; cold extract coffee and ice drop coffee production time is relatively long, generally cold extract coffee production time is about 12 hours, ice drop coffee production time is 6-8 hours. Easy to make for home, hand-made iced coffee and cold-extracted coffee is relatively simple. Cold coffee is not too demanding in the choice of utensils, only a sealed bottle is needed. Ice hand brewing utensils are also relatively close to the people, and generally have the habit of brewing coffee at home, there will be hand brewing coffee utensils. The espresso machine for iced American coffee and the appliances for ice drop coffee will be a little more expensive. Flavor taste difference here Qianjie first explain, coffee sour, or bitter, is the flower fruit flavor or nut chocolate flavor, mainly depends on what flavor of coffee beans are used, the influence of the extraction method is not so great. Iced coffee produced by different methods has different styles of flavor performance, these performance is the contrast out of the differences, no matter which way of production, the taste is inseparable from the basic flavor of coffee beans. The flavor of iced American coffee is generally light, refreshing, and usually shows the most basic flavor of coffee beans. The liquid is cloudy.

Ice hand coffee is characterized by clean and refreshing taste, easy to highlight the main flavor of coffee beans, and the liquid is transparent and bright.

Cold extract coffee is characterized by less bitterness, balanced flavor and high sweetness. It tastes thicker than ice hand coffee. The permeability of liquid is slightly lower than that of iced coffee.

图片

Ice drop coffee is characterized by rich fermented flavor, such as alcohol flavor. In the same case of beans, the bitterness of iced coffee is higher than that of the other three iced coffee, and the taste is also better than the other three iced coffee.
