Cold brew coffee has become a favourite among coffee lovers for its smooth, mellow flavour and naturally low acidity. Unlike traditional hot coffee, cold brew undergoes a gentle and lengthy brewing process that extracts the rich taste without bitterness. At Muse Coffee Roaster, we are proud to offer our signature single origin coffee for cold brew, crafted to perfection and ready to refresh your day. Let’s explore the secrets behind cold brew and how you can enjoy it at its very best.
What Makes Cold Brew Unique?
Cold brew is produced by steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in cold water over an extended period, usually between 12 and 24 hours. This slow extraction process extracts fewer acidic compounds and bitterness, resulting in a naturally sweeter, smoother cup that is easier on sensitive stomachs.
Muse Coffee Roaster’s Cold Brew Recipe
To make cold brew at home just like ours, here’s a simple recipe you can try:
• Coffee beans: 50g, ground to a medium-coarse consistency
• Water: 600ml, at room temperature
• Steeping time: 20 to 24 hours in the fridge
Simply combine the ground coffee and water in a container cover, and leave it to steep in your refrigerator. After the steeping time is up, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter, and your cold brew coffee is ready.
The Best Way to Enjoy Muse Cold Brew
Cold brew is wonderfully versatile. You can serve it over ice for a refreshing summer drink or dilute it with water or milk to suit your taste. If you prefer a creamy twist, try adding oat or almond milk for a delicious dairy-free option.
The ideal time to enjoy cold brew is during the warmer months when a revitalising iced coffee is in order, but its smooth and gentle profile makes it a great choice all year round. The concentrate can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks without losing its flavour, so you can always have a refreshing cup ready.
Health Benefits and Beyond
Besides its superb taste, cold brew coffee offers health benefits similar to regular coffee, such as boosting metabolism and providing antioxidants. Its low acidity reduces the chance of acid refiux and digestive discomfort, making it an excellent option for those with sensitive stomachs.
With Muse Coffee Roaster’s cold brew, you get the perfect combination of fiavour, smoothness, and healthful qualities in every sip. Whether you’re crafting your own at home or picking up a bottle from us, cold brew is the ideal way to enjoy coffee that refreshes and delights.
