What Is Cold Brew?

buy local coffee beans in NJ

Cold brew is not the same as iced coffee. Here’s the difference:

  • Iced Coffee: Brewed hot, then poured over ice. Quick and bright, but more acidic.
  • Cold Brew: Made by steeping coarsely ground beans in cold water for 12–24 hours. The result? A smooth, low-acid, subtly sweet coffee concentrate.
