What Kind Of Coffee Does Starbucks
Use For Cold Brew?

An ice-filled cold brew is hard to refuse in the summer heat. If you've always wanted to make your own cold brew at home, this guide will help you get started.

Cold brew coffee is a favorite because of its low acidity, lack of bitterness, rich chocolate flavor, and inherent sweetness. Consider the aforementioned characteristics when making your bean selections, rather than ignoring them.

Because Starbucks is the most well-known coffee shop in the United States, almost everyone has had a chance to try their cold brew (ground coffee, water, a French Press).

To prepare cold brew, many coffees from around the world are used. The cold brew blend consists of washed African Arabica coffee beans with citrus notes and Latin American Arabica coffee beans with sweet and chocolate flavors.

Medium roasting brings out more of their flavor and perfume. Grounded coffee is soaked in cool, filtered water for about 48 hours.

Cold brew blends, like iced coffee, use ground coffee that is steeped in hot water for an extended period of time. To improve the coffee's natural flavor and aroma.

70 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal for making cold brew, The brew time should be increased, and the grind coarseness should be changed, because of the lower temperatures. The flavor will only be slightly altered as a result.

Coffee beans that are good for making cold brew:

  • Starbucks in Ethiopia
    This medium roast brand is made by Starbucks. It tastes like chocolate and cocoa. It has a taste of citrus and dark chocolate, or "flavour notes."

  • Stone Street Cold Brew Coffee.
    Strong & Smooth Blend, Arabica, Dark Roast for cold brewing, it has a dark roast level and is meant to be used that way. This is a brand that is made entirely of beans from Colombia.

  • By Coffee Bros. Cold Brew Blend
    There is a lot of brown sugar and chocolate in this medium-roasted brand. It also has a lot of berry and chocolate notes. There are coffee beans from Brazil and Ethiopia. The flavors are berry and chocolate, with a smooth and sweet finish that makes you want more.

Finally, put one cup of ice cubes in a glass to drink your iced coffee or cold brew. This is the last step. Pour a half-cup of the brew over the ice, then add a half-cup of cold water and stir. It could be sweet cream if you want. Enjoy your cold brew!
