Summer is officially over in Australia, but warm days still linger, and there are plenty of opportunities to kick back with our favourite icy beverage- cold brew coffee.
Its benefits reach well beyond summer refreshment and extend to some interesting health benefits. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a go!
To clarify, cold brew is not the same drink as iced coffee. The cold brew coffee process involves steeping coarse coffee grounds in cold water for up to 24 hours.

Monsooned coffee had an accidental beginning.
In the time of the British Raj, ships transporting coffee by sea from India to Europe would find vast changes in the characteristics of their packed coffees, due to moisture in the air within the wooden cargo hold.
Over a 4-6 month period of exposure to this humidity, raw coffee beans would lose their green colour and turn a pale, straw yellow.
With this, the taste would also change, the beans attaining a distinct flavour profile with a practically neutral pH balance (making it one of the lowest acidic coffees in the World). The resultant cup would be a heavy-bodied brew that Europeans began to favour.

At Beancraft, we all love home brewing, its easy and fun, and the result is delicious.
One of our favourites has to be the pour over. We love the simplicity and the resulting clean cup it produces.
