Cold Brewing in Dubai

I started down the journey of cold brewing after joining the Cold Bruer project on Kickstarter. First brew came out watery and I sort of gave up after the first try.

Decided to give it a go again, this time using some good Colombian medium roast, coarse grind from More Cafe. First batch came out pretty good, a deep, moody brown, and off it went into the fridge for a good chill overnight.

Fast forward to half hour back, came home from a sweltering 44°C outside, and pulled a 30-70 mix of brew and cold water, no sweeteners, just so I could get a proper taste of the coffee - it’s good. Like really good.

It’s got a medium bodied nose, some initial fruitness on the palate, followed by a brief but pleasant bitterness that lingers, and the lack of acidity really distinguishes this from a hot brew that’s been refrigerated.

Perfect for the Dubai summer then :)
