G’day Coffee Lover!

Cold brew and iced coffee are two popular cold coffee drinks, each made using different methods and having unique flavor profiles. Here are the key differences:

1. Brewing Method: Cold brew is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for a long period, usually 12 to 24 hours. This slow extraction process creates a smooth, low-acid coffee concentrate. In contrast, iced coffee is made by brewing hot coffee and then cooling it down with ice.

2. Flavour: Cold brew has a smooth, rich taste with a subtle sweetness and low acidity. It is less bitter and acidic than traditional hot-brewed coffee. Iced coffee, on the other hand, has a more acidic, bright flavour with a stronger coffee taste.

3. Serving Style: Cold brew is usually served as a concentrated coffee that is later diluted with water, milk, or cream before being served over ice. Iced coffee is usually served black or with a small amount of milk or cream, over ice.

4. Caffeine Content: Cold brew typically has a higher caffeine content than iced coffee, due to the longer steeping time and higher coffee-to-water ratio.

Overall, cold brew and iced coffee are both refreshing drinks that are perfect for warm weather. They have different brewing methods and flavor profiles, so it's worth trying both to determine which one you prefer.

You can even pre-make them at home and then take it anywhere, like this guy above.

Make sure to come and try both at our shop in Hornsby, and even take some beans for cold brew or iced coffee home to give it a go!
