Everything you need to know about NORSE and cold brew.
Cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period, typically 24 to 36 hours. This process creates a smooth, less acidic coffee with naturally sweet flavor notes.
Iced coffee is brewed hot and cooled before serving and often requires sugar and cream to reduce acidity, while cold brew is extracted entirely with cold water. Cold brew generally produces a smoother taste with lower perceived acidity and less bitterness — no added sugars needed.
