Even though Cold Brew Coffee is nothing new, it is a fact that it has gained significant popularity in recent years, particularly among new generations looking to experience new flavors. According to a recent study, 60% of young consumers prefer ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee over traditionally brewed coffees1.
Why has it become so popular among consumers?
- It is smoother and sweeter than hot coffee.
- It is easy to prepare and it can be stored in the refrigerator for more than one week.
- It has less acidity and bitterness compared to hot brewed.
- It promotes creativity! It can be the base of thousands of combinations with different types of milk, creamers, and flavors.
- It is often enjoyed in social settings, such as with friends, family, or partners.
From the technical side, what are its benefits?
- Preserve the aromatic components of the roasted bean, resulting in a more complex and pleasant sensory profile.
- High versatility in the final product presentation: extract (shelf-stable and frozen), powder, or freeze-dried.
- Consistency: both from its sensory profile and its physicochemical and microbiological properties (Ph, concentration, titratable acidity, sediment).
- It has a refreshing sensory profile and a clean and pleasant aftertaste.
- Cold Brew in its powder and freeze-dried versions has good solubility in water at room temperature.
- Cold brew coffee has a higher caffeine content, so it is a fresher solution that can provide a bigger boost of energy.
