Cold Brewed Coffee

Starting Thursday morning at both locations we’ll be offering COLD BREWED ICED COFFEE!

Cold brewed coffee is easier on the stomach as it’s much lower in acidity than hot brewed coffee (that’s pH acidity folks and not “brightness” we’re talking about).  It makes a really smooth cup and actually has less caffeine than the hot brewed stuff.

For our first batch, we used 4lbs of coffee (!) and three gallons of water (!!) and produced enough concentrate for around 5-6 gallons of iced coffee (!!!!!!).  We started out with our house blend as a test, but we will probably experiment with blends as we learn about our latest brewing method.  Here is a picture of the Filtron brewer- “The Big Daddy”.  You almost need a ladder to get to the top.  Very wonka-like.

The filters, though, are the best part…
