Can you cold brew Purity Coffee?Updated 2 years ago

Yes, you may cold brew Purity Coffee! 

There are many different methods of cold brewing. 

We recently spent many months researching cold brew, and here is an excerpt from our website:

"In particular, water temperature in relation to extraction time impacts the chemistry of the coffee significantly. With a cold brew, the water temperature is likely around room temperature or a bit cooler, differences that are not as impactful on the coffee chemistry at first as near boiling temperature are. Of course, the other variables still impact the cold brew flavor, but with the heat variable the method does seem more forgiving, when general principles are followed."

Here are basic guidelines for cold brewing:

Food safety first: Always use impeccably clean equipment, checking nooks and attachment points on the brewing device that could collect pathogens. Always brew in your refrigerator— never on the counter (aka “ambient brewing”).

• It depends how strong you want your cold brew, whether you will add ice (which will add water and reduce strength) or other ingredients, but a general starting point is 100 grams of coffee for 1 to 1.5 liters. Always adjust to taste. There is a wide variation of recommendations on the internet, but this is as good a place to start as any.

• Use clean, cold water free of chemicals, but with some mineral content, like spring water. Use a medium-coarse grind, similar to coarse salt or ½ the size of decorator’s sugar.

• Make sure all the grounds are immersed in the water.

• Try brewing for at least 18 hours. Maximum antioxidant capacity has been seen, though, between 24 and 30 hours of brewing using cold water and the grind above (again, in a refrigerator).
