It really depends what coffee beans you are starting with, and the roast, just as it does with "regular", hot brewed coffee.
I also like lighter-roasted fruity beans, and cold-brewed tends to reduce the "sourness". IMO cold brew really shines for non-fruity beans though, greatly reducing the bitterness.
You should try it!
- denton-scratch 4y agoHmmm. I've been alternating Ethiopian Harrar with Kenya AA. I buy them ready-roasted - I don't know how to characterise the roast other than "medium" (the beans don't glisten with oil). I alternate specifically to catch the fruity aroma, which seems to my jaded old palate to fade after a week of the same bean.
- GordonS 4y agoFruity varieties are almost always a light or medium roast - often you can see this in the colour of the roasted beans, which will be much lighter; I'm colour blind, but I think they're more brown/tan than black.
