Prepared my first batch of cold brew today, (32g ground coffee, 500ml water) and staring at it I can’t help wondering what the difference is between this and leaving a brewed pot of coffee to sit for a day is? Could someone explain to me what makes cold brew special?
(Followed this guide btw)
Hot coffee in a pot gets a weird flavour after half hour, and when your pour milk in it it gets a grey tinge to the normal brown colour. Maybe a food science person can explain what happens to coffee
