The Difference Between Iced Coffee, Cold Brew and Nitro Brew

As iced coffee is brewed hot, it can taste bitter, although high temperatures can also extract more coffee solubles than the cold brew. Iced coffee is brewed as regular coffee so the product is exactly the same; only iced coffee must go through a cooling process and also tends to be watered down when served over ice. It really is that simple. Cold Brew is created by steeping medium-to-coarse ground coffee in room temperature water for an extended period of time (12+ hours) and then filtering out the grounds for a clean cup without sediment.

Key Takeaways:

  • Cold brew and nitro brew are similar to each other but are quite different than iced coffee, which is made in the same way as normal coffee and then chilled.
  • Cold brew is more expensive than iced coffee because of the process involved – it takes longer and requires roughly twice as many coffee beans as iced coffee.
  • The difference between nitro brew and cold brew happens after the actual brewing process – nitro brew is infused with nitrogen bubbles for a foamy texture similar to a draught beer.

 

“Iced coffee tends to be light, refreshing and a little more acidic—though this will depend on the beans at play and how well the person brewing knows how to do it.”
