Hi Amie, thanks for the comment!! It's something interesting to try. The result is more of a concentrate than the chilled hot brewed coffee. The cold brewing results in a bit of a muted taste, very smooth and clean with no bitterness. It will store longer than heat brewed coffee. I can't take full credit for the coffee cubes, although I did instantly think of it when I was researching the method. I read about it somewhere else too. It is noticeably better in the blender/smoothie machine, I like the consistency better.

Hi Nathan,

I had never heard of cold brewing, you have piqued my curiousity:)
I do wonder though,in terms of flavour, is it worth the time and amount of coffee used as opposed to just hot-brewing and chilling?
Also, the coffee ice cube idea is great- once you said it I thought 'of course, that makes so much sense', but of course, I have never thought of it- thanks for the stroke of genius!

Amie

Yeah, you probably shouldn't drink more than a couple a day. Yes, the flavor is very different. I first did the cold method with the Dean & Deluca coffee from episode 10. When hot brewed, it had a really long bittersweet finish, but cold brewed it was much smoother and cleaner. The flavors are much more subtle when cold brewing, but very interesting. I think the cold brew can store longer too, 2 weeks in the fridge. Thanks for coming back Craig.

The good and plenty was classic. I guess my question would be is the taste significantly different from brewing first and then cooling down the coffee? I stopped making my own ice coffee because I was drinking way too much…we're talking heart palpatations.
