Iced Coffee with Cold Brewed Coffee Beans Provided by Kaldi.com
Iced coffee can be created in a number of ways, although most people simply chill regular brewed coffee or espresso. This method does not produce the best iced coffee, however, and is usually not used by true specialty coffee shops. Cold brewing is preferred for real iced coffee since it virtually eliminates the possibility for an overly acidic beverage. Since authentic preparation of iced coffee takes so long it is often replaced with the easier method that uses espresso as a base. The espresso is blended with syrup or other flavoring before being mixed with the milk or dairy component of the iced coffee. Shops that use this fast method of iced coffee preparation usually do so because of the need to speed up the process. However, if the iced coffee is prepared ahead of time using the cold brew method there is no reason why it can’t be done properly. Kaldi Gourmet Coffee Roasters offers fresh coffee that can be used to prepare iced coffee using either method.
The hot method of creating iced coffee is probably the most common, although it is not the best tasting method. When someone orders an iced coffee the barista will typically extract espresso fresh for the iced coffee. By using this method of preparing iced coffee the beverage is fresher although the taste may not be as good as if it had been prepared using the cold method. The freshly extracted espresso is then poured into the cup that will hold the iced coffee. The strong flavors of pure espresso are easily blended with other ingredients without creating a watered down iced coffee beverage. However, this method also implies that a liquid additive is imperative to create the iced coffee. Any additives that need to heat to dissolve are added directly to the espresso before completing the iced coffee. These additives would include granulated sugar or thick syrups that would otherwise not dissolve correctly. Once the additive is completing blended with the espresso base, the iced coffee can be completed. Milk or some other dairy product is poured and mixed with the espresso base and ice. This final product is a typical iced coffee that is made fresh to order in most coffee shops. Freshly roasted coffee would add to the flavor of the iced coffee and is available through Kaldi.com.
The true method of making iced coffee that produces the best flavor is completed by using a cold brewing process. Rather than freshly extracting an espresso for the iced coffee beverage on a per order basis, cold brewed iced coffee is prepared ahead of time. Freshly roasted coffee is ground and mixed with pure water and left to sit for some time. The cold processing allows the iced coffee to be created without the acid content that traditional brewing methods generate. The brown liquid is then pure iced coffee that can be drank without any additives or blending whatsoever. Sugar can be added to this version of iced coffee by using syrup that will integrate well with the iced coffee. This method not only produces a truer flavor of iced coffee, but allows the drinker to eliminate the need for another liquid additive such as milk. The leftover iced coffee can be stored in a refrigerator and used throughout the day to maintain freshness. Most people will agree that using the hot brew method of making iced coffee simply because of the freshness factor do not really make up for the flavors that are lost. Cold brewed iced coffee takes time and creates a true specialty beverage that allows the taste of the coffee to shine through. Using the cold brew method to make iced coffee with fresh gourmet beans provided by Kaldi.com will truly create a beverage that is superior to all others.
