Coffland Corp: Coffee Science: Japanese Cold-Brewed Coffee and How to Make it Work for You

Although the Japanese method is related to iced coffee, it can also be used to make cold-brewed coffee.

Do you think iced coffee is just a coffee smoothie? There’s much more to know about this incredible beverage that takes the original idea of coffee and give it an interesting twist. We’re going to share with you a unique experience that comes from Asia, and that will surely change how you make your coffee. You can’t even imagine the different delicious ideas you will create with this variation of your average brew: the Japanese cold-brewed coffee.

When you find out about this strange recipe, you won’t want to try anything else for a long time. We tried it at home, and we got addicted to this clever technique! You read about the cold-brewed coffee last week, and we talked about brewing it between 12-24 hours. The thing is, some people don’t like that method. If you’re part of that population, that’s perfectly okay. We’re going to teach you how to make it quicker!

How to prepare coffee with the Japanese technique?

It’s even more simply than the traditional method we taught you the last week. Japanese cold-brewed coffee is a hot coffee brewed into ice cubes. Easier than you thought, right? Japanese people are inventive, and they surely twist it in a way that not many of us could.

The ingredients and implements for the Japanese cold-brewed coffee will be:

20g of fine ground coffee.

220ml of water.

170g of ice cubes.

First of all, if your coffee is on beans, you should put it in your grinder until you get a coarse medium-fine ground coffee. If you don’t have a blend that correctly ground, it will probably create a weird flavor. It would have a bitter taste and even a simple flavor.

After that, you will need to put the ice cubes into your usual coffee pot. Prepare your filter with the ground coffee to be placed over the pot. This can be a traditional filter; cloth works just as well.

Now, you’ve got almost everything set up! Start boiling water and let the water rest for 2 minutes, in case you’re doing this with a coffee machine. If you’re using the industrial method, leaving the coffee set for 30 seconds after brewing it will do just fine. When those 2 minutes have passed, pour the water into your coffee filter and see how the hot temperature starts melting the ice in the pot.

That’s everything you’ll need to prepare the Japanese cold-brewed coffee! It’s easier than the last method, right? Some people have other variants for this cold-brewed coffee. However, we recommend this experiment as it creates a great impression. As this method produces a soft flavor, it makes the ideal base to combine it with spices or with certain liquors. The sky’s the limit!

Why should I try the Japanese cold-brewed coffee?

This method has some benefits the traditional cold-brewed coffee doesn’t have. One of the most important is that you won’t lose the characteristic coffee flavor. In fact, you’d taste another wonderful extra from this recipe. Why does this happen? The abrupt change in temperature releases the natural sweetness of coffee, making it a delicious and soft beverage.

If you don’t have time for waiting for a cold-brewed coffee, don’t worry! This method is the fastest of all the cold-brewed coffee methods you’ll find. The most amazing and wonderful perk of this cold-brewed coffee is you can make it anywhere you want. You don’t need specialized equipment. You’ll only need a simple coffee filter, your coffee pot, some ice cubes, and ground coffee.
