Recently, a netizen posted a post titled "I didn't expect to encounter 'pre-made vegetables' even after drinking coffee" on the social platform, attracting the attention and heated discussion of onlookers.

In terms of content, this customer recently bought a cup of cold extract coffee at a Tims store. While waiting to pick up the meal, he witnessed the entire process of the clerk taking out a bottle of black liquid from the refrigerator and pouring it into the cup. Therefore, he questioned the cold extract coffee produced by the store. It is a "pre-made dish" rather than freshly made.

After the post was posted, coffee lovers left messages explaining that "cold extraction is something to be done in advance." Many people explained that the common practice of cold extract coffee is to put coffee powder in cold water and soak it at low temperature for more than 8 hours. Therefore, the cold extract sold in most coffee shops is coffee that is soaked in advance and filtered. Liquid, not a drink made just now as the poster owner thinks.

Just as good-hearted netizens and the poster were answering questions, some sharp-eyed people browsed the post's pictures and noticed that the cold extract coffee liquor used in Tims stores was somewhat different from what they had imagined. They said that due to the long time to make cold extract coffee, stores will basically make it one day in advance to ensure daily production, and the brewed cold extract coffee liquor can only be sold within the specified validity period. Once the cold extract coffee liquor is sold out or exceeds its expiration date, the clerk needs to make it again.

However, judging from the photos taken by the poster, the cold extraction raw materials used by the store are not the "freshly brewed coffee liquor" poured from the cold extraction barrel in users 'memory.

Eye-catching users speculated through the outer packaging and labels on the plastic bottle body that the coffee liquor used in the store may have been uniformly produced by the factory and sent to the store in the form of a frozen product. After receiving it, employees will thaw it in advance according to the product sales., and process it into cold extract coffee for sale within the specified expiration period after the material is opened.

This situation really surprised many people. After all, in the impression of netizens, whether it is a chain brand or an independent coffee shop, the cold extract coffee sold is basically made by the store itself. It is rare to see merchants using such commercial espresso liquor to make cold extract.

Therefore, the onlookers had their own opinions on the way Tims cold extract was made,"What's the difference between me and buying various concentrates and mixing them with milk at home?","Isn't this method of taking cold extract concentrate and selling it as cold extract? Isn't it equivalent to selling espresso with boiling water and selling it as a hot American?","It's the same as drinks sold in convenience stores","Frozen and stored espresso with a long shelf life does not quite meet the expectations for cold extract."

However, some people felt that netizens were a little worried after understanding the incident, pointing out that such uniformly produced and distributed raw materials can ensure the consistency of the taste and quality of the drink. Moreover, in terms of production methods, cold extract really cannot be made on-site. It can be regarded as a kind of "pre-made coffee." To be blunt, people don't need to talk about "pre-made" or worry about the long shelf life.
