When you purchase Coffee beans, did you ever contemplate the vast potential of that humble fine ground brown mess in your palm or atop your teaspoon? Probably not. Most of us marvel at the transformative and revelatory experience in which coffee simply gets us through the day; Our lives are generally lost without it, we can’t function without its steaming hot presence, we fly into a rage without our dear Joe. We stay up late at night scouring the internet for wholesale coffee online and where the best coffee beans are located. We are helpless, addicted, alone. As Trent Reznor said it best, “You are the perfect drug”. He might as well have been talking about the local boutique coffee beans shop sourcing its finest single origin green coffee beans.
Cold Brew coffee, cool or lame in the eyes of the aficionado?
I’m about to let you guys in on a secret as to why Cold Brew coffee is ushering in an era of coffee aficionados ten-fold. Cold brew, or as some have coined it, slow brewing is a process in which the course, soluble coffee grounds are soaked, steeped and let’s get artisan here ‘aged‘ in water for an extended period of time within room temp or perhaps cold water. The estimated perfect time for this process is roughly twelve to fourteen hours, and some have capitalized on this process with certain machines such as the famous Toddy cold brew system. Many coffee obsessives have been known to create their own ‘labs‘ out of discarded french presses, strips of felt and even old 1990’s corporate-dad-style paper coffee filters. As Walter White proclaimed to Jesse Pinkman; “Let’s Cook”.
