Re: Cold Brewed Coffee
I found that any beans I liked for regular drip worked for cold brewed.
If you like flavored coffee, cold brewing extracts a lot more flavor than drip. In the summer I like to cold brew hazelnut flavored beans.

Re: Cold Brewed Coffee
Cold brewing is awesome. The coffee is exceptional. I found all of the beans I used regularly work even better cold brewed.

Re: Cold Brewed Coffee
Do you then heat the coffee or drink it iced?

Re: Cold Brewed Coffee
I usually just do Keurig then add ice after. Probably the wrong way to go about it huh. Any advice for an ultra noob?

This worked when I was your age. Get back to me in 15 years and let me know if you are still doing that every time you want a cup of coffee.dshap wrote:1.

It takes me 5 minutes start to finish and that includes boiling water on my stove. If you have an instant hot in your sink it takes 2 minutes.

Re: Cold Brewed Coffee
I've cold brewed a few times. Makes great coffee. Lack of heat keeps you from getting all of the bitter tannins and oils from the beans. I've made a few stouts with coffee and you must use cold brewed added after fermentation. Hot brewed is too oily and will damage the head.

Re: Cold Brewed Coffee
I have done the pour over method and ice before. It's good, but usually I use a French press with cold water. Let it sit about 10 hours before pressing it. I think its a bit smoother. The big down side is keeping it made, cuz you can't whip up a batch real quick.

Shap is awesome, though. Too cool for DWC.

Re: Cold Brewed Coffee
I appreciate well-made coffee, and I did cold brew for awhile at home, but it was a PITA. Now, I only have "good" coffee when I go out. At home, with two boys to take care of, I use Starbucks VIA packets. Lollll. Take that, connoisseurs.

It's better than Keurig at least.

Re: Cold Brewed Coffee
No way. Some of the Keurig pods are pretty good. That Via stuff is nasty.dshap wrote:matt.wu wrote:I appreciate well-made coffee, and I did cold brew for awhile at home, but it was a PITA.

Re: Cold Brewed Coffee
I can't tell the difference between good and bad coffee. Help a newb here - what's a discerning factor in the taste and/or smell? Is it the boldness?
