The Japanese Iced Coffee Method (2012)
The writer of this article is really wrong to assume coffee aficionados don't drink cold brew, that's absolutely false. It's made even worse that he's conflating cold brew with iced coffee. They are very much not the same.<p>I'm sure it's lovely but it's not cold brew. Cold brew is less acidic because it's not heated; it's also said to have a more "true" taste because it's not extracted with hot water.<p>I have some stomach issues, one of which is an ulcer, and I am unable to drink hot coffee regularly as it tends to upset my stomach much more. Cold brew besides actually having a richer taste because of the slow brewing process actually hurts my tum tum less.<p>... Granted I also live in PDX, so I'm fairly sure (based on some comments) not everyone out there has had, or is actually being served, cold brew. Putting hot coffee on ice just doesn't even begin to compare.<p>Update: hit post early.
