Cold brew coffee was originally invented to make coffee last longer. Extracting with cold water does not draw out large amounts of coffee oils the way hot water does, so if stored properly in the refrigerator, it can keep for a month without any problem. After three days of aging, the flavor becomes even mellower. However, cold water extraction takes a very long time—common methods can even require dripping for more than 24 hours—and the caffeine concentration is relatively high. In fact, when making it at home, using room-temperature water instead of ice water works just as well and can shorten the time. This article will explain in detail the complete cold brew process, including sterilizing equipment, choosing grind size, the coffee-to-water ratio, controlling drip speed, and how to prevent refrigerator odors from affecting the coffee's flavor, helping you make a rich and aromatic cup of cold brew coffee.
