Whether it’s in the morning or after the sun goes down, a cup of freshly roasted coffee is a delightful experience. While most prefer to have their coffee hot with cream or sugar, the rise in popularity of iced coffee and cold brews has taken the coffee world by storm.
While these two drinks can sometimes be used interchangeably, they are prepared and taste different from one another.
Iced coffee and cold brew may both offer a refreshing caffeine kick, but they're quite distinct in preparation and taste. Iced coffee is essentially hot-brewed coffee that's cooled down and served over ice. This method is quick but can sometimes lead to a more bitter and acidic flavor due to the hot brewing process. On the other hand, cold brew is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period, often 12-24 hours, resulting in a smoother, richer flavor with less acidity. The difference in brewing time and temperature not only affects the taste but also the chemical profile of the coffee, which is why cold brew is often described as having a sweeter, more mellow character compared to its iced counterpart.
Whether you prefer the boldness of an iced coffee or the subtle complexities of a cold brew, both are delightful ways to enjoy coffee on a warm day.
