I would love to try it! But I must disagree that cold brew is a lesser or incomplete version of coffee. Rather, it highlights different flavors than hot brewing methods do, and those flavors are wonderful in my opinion. When made well, cold brew is the caramelly, chocolaty coffee I always wanted.
What doesn't get dissolved into the cold water is often the more sour (or "bright" if you're feeling charitable) flavors.
(I have had the stale, flat kind of cold brew the author mentions. It sucks. I have also had plenty of terrible hot coffee.)
- spraak 10y agoThat's a great point. Hasn't the author ever had terrible hot coffee, so why not terrible cold brew too? Some of the other posts in this thread point out that some beans are better for cold brew than others. And I agree with you that I've had really good cold brew and really enjoy it's aroma and taste.
