Just how long should you let your cold brew coffee steep?

Even though cold brew coffee can be enjoyed year-round, the official beginning of cold brew season has arrived. We will come find you and offer ice if your coffee isn't cold enough. It's sweltering outside, so have your coffee with ice. We'll be watching out for you just as we always have, man. To make cold brew, we've been putting our office Asobu Cold Brewer through its paces, and by the time we're done, it should have some serious biceps. (to be honest, we'll never finish) )

We've been playing around with steep times naturally because we're making so much money. Constant and continuous R&D Can you tell the difference between coffee that has been cold brewed for 10, 24, or more than 24 hours?

How does the amount of time a cold brew is allowed to steep affect its taste?

Absolutely Coffee steeped for 10 hours will have a very different flavor profile than coffee steeped for 24 hours. Under 10 hours, not much of a flavor profile will have developed. Like La Croix, but with a hint of coffee, this drink is perfect for those who want just a taste of coffee. Overextraction and bitter, woodsy flavors characterize brews steeped for more than 24 hours. Those aren't necessarily the flavor profiles you're after.

As luck would have it, cold brew is much more forgiving than hot coffee. Getting the timing, amount, etc., just right when pouring hot coffee requires full attention to the task at hand. To get the perfect cold brew, you have a full day to experiment. You only need to worry about ballpark figures: roughly this much water, roughly this much time, roughly this much coffee. Even though there is a proper way to make cold brew, you can still accidentally (or with little effort) create a delicious batch. That's why it's so fantastic

What follows is a discussion of the coffee's evolving flavor profile as it steeps. Use the cold-brewed version of Fog Kicker as an illustration. Using our brand-new FRC Cold Brew Blend for hot brew would be cheating, since it was designed specifically for cold brew. The legendary Fog Kicker is about to take over.

In the same way that a high altitude growing environment brings out the coffee's fruity, floral, and mildly acidic flavors, a steep time of 10 hours does the same. Fog Kicker's subtle cherry flavors really come through after 10 hours. This subtle flavor will develop a Maillard undertone as we steep it. The roasting process either creates or accentuates the beans' brown and sweet Maillard flavors (such as chocolate, toasted almond, and caramel).

We're an hour past the recommended minimum steep time of the Toddy Consumer at this point. The coffee will retain its lively fruitiness, but the cherry flavor will be accompanied by a subtle caramel note. This is where cold brewing really begins to show off a coffee's potential. Cold brewing for 15 to 20 hours is ideal for coffees with a more wine-like and floral flavor profile (like African coffee).

The caramel notes in Fog Kicker will be fully developed after 20 hours, and the beer will have a smooth finish. You can expect the cherry flavors to have faded slightly but still be prominent. You could just dump the grounds, water down the concentrate, and drink it as-is, but let's take it one step further. Because it's good for the kids

The standard recommendation for cold brew steeping time is 24 hours, with the longer the steeping time, the stronger the brew. If you steep this coffee for the maximum amount of time, you'll get a strong, caramel-flavored cup. It may be more challenging to track down cherry flavors, but they will be available. This steep time is recommended if you want to sweeten your drink with cream, sugar, or syrup. Not only do Maillard (browned and sweet) flavors really come through at the end of a cold brew, but your favorite mix-ins, like vanilla or blueberry, will actually improve the cup by bringing back some of the flavors that may have been lost. Any harsh or unpleasant notes in your brew will be mitigated by your additions.

One of the most convenient ways to drink coffee is through cold brew. You can get a lot of benefit with very little work. The jargon term for this concept among financiers is "ROI." You can't go wrong with cold brew, whether you're a coffee expert or a regular Joe. (Aha, a rhyme! ) Go brew a batch at home; it's easy to do, tastes great, keeps you hydrated, can be tailored to your preferences, and has zero downsides.
