Like it or hate it, cold brew coffee definitely tastes different than regular ol' drip, and it's all thanks to science.

I like the coffee to be so disgustingly bitter that it makes the back of my neck shiver every time i take a swig. I then proceed to chug the whole thing and have what some might say feels like a miniature stroke.

Tip for if you end up with the diner coffee that's gone stale, add a pinch of salt, that'll make it taste nearly good as new.

I've been a constant coffee drinker my whole adult life and always thought people complaining of the jitters were just being over dramatic pussies. In my 30s there was 6 months when I had to stop drinking all caffeine. Ok, no withdraw, no problems, I thought everything was good. But my first cup of coffee after that 6 months had me doing an involuntary Parkinson's impression. It only lasted for the first few cups though.

Hello, SciShow! I have a humble request for a video on the topic of cerebral aneurysms! I experienced a rupture when I 19 and the suddenness and severity of them would make for a good informative video for the public! Thank you!

@Dragoth1337 7 лет назад

I may have missed this but tannins are one of the bitter things in coffee and tea and come out when brewed at a certain temperature. "cold" brew coffee or tea doesn't release as much tannins and makes it less bitter but also changes flavor. In the home brew world to add coffee or tea flavor to the beer we usually cold brew it so we don't add tannins to the beer.

@Drumlind11 7 лет назад

Aaaand now I know why it's so more popular than hot coffee at the Starbucks I work at. Thanks Hank! Keep the science coming!

@CanadianOptionsTrader 5 лет назад

Please do another video on this and give 10x more information. For example, what is the difference in chemical composition of the 2 types of coffee? Which one is more acidic? Which one is better for you?

@imfrommanndame 7 лет назад

I was so early on the cold brew wagon, that when I visited a Starbucks in Hollywood while on vacation, they didn't know what it was.

@robertjensen1109 7 лет назад

I finished a documentary on deep space and needed to look twice at the title image of this video because I thought the cup of cold brew coffee was the surface of a dying Star. Not only I learned something about chemistry, but I got a good laugh. Thanks SciShow!

Very interesting. If you like cold brew, you should try the Klein Cold Brew Coffee filter on Amazon! For cold brew at home in mason jars.

@yunthi 7 лет назад

preferring my moccamaster which brews the coffee directly into a thermos. the coffee is not in touch with oxygen and there is no hot plate, it doesnt go stale. (altho it doesnt stay hot endlessly either)

@Ryukachoo 7 лет назад

2:00 oh, i had always heard that hot brewing generated more exotic volatile compounds that give hot coffee its nice taste BUT break down as they cool down and cause it to taste worse, hence why hot coffee brewed over ice doesn't taste as good as cold brew on ice. Turns out its just oxygen+heat

@profribasmat217 7 лет назад

Based on this video, made cold brew coffee overnight... not bad! But, my normal way to drink it is with soy milk and blended cashews, once I do that, can't tell the difference! Edit: Ok, today I made my regular hot coffee, and tried it black... coldbrew is much milder and easier to drink black!!! yeah science!

@monroerobbins7551 2 года назад

I like cold brew coffee, but I prefer putting in the microwave so it’s warm. I like it because it’s quicker to have in the morning, because I can just filter it before the weekdays, and then I can wake up, mix the concentrate with some water, pop it in the microwave, then bam. Instant coffee that tastes better than just mixing the coffee mix with boiling water. Plus, less acid means less upset tummy.

@Joeobrown1 7 лет назад

the best ''chocolatey'' coffee is New Mexico Pinon Coffee, roasted with pine nuts it imparts a toasty flavor to the coffee, brewed hot it tastes rich and mellow, iced and sweetened is wonderful, diluted and sweetened will give you a ''Sweet Tea'' experience Hencho e Mano, New Mexico Pinon Coffee, in the Bright Red Bag !! none can compare

The Canadian "double-double" is the ultimate coffee beverage. It has the caffeine, the sweetness, the texture, the lower temperature makes chugging quickly very easy, and it's available EVERYWHERE 24/7! 👻 yay timmies!

@UniqueornBacon 7 лет назад

Why does the cream/milk not mix properly if the coffee has been sitting out too long? (OR has been reheated in a microwave.) I say "It's been cooked." when that happens. I assume it has something to do with the water boiling out, or like it was mentioned in the video, some kind of chemical reaction occurs after about 30 minutes. The coffee taste more acidic, and the same amount of cream won't change the color the same. (It takes MORE creamer to change the color after a while)

@kstormgeistgem461 7 лет назад

So, it's like sun tea. But with more grounds in it... And made out of coffee. Hmmm...Now the engineer's daughter in me wants to figure out how to do it with out adding a snack of coffee beans to my morning blend. Yes yes I'm sure there are loads of contraptions to do this. I don't care. I want to sort it out for myself. So I can feel accomplished. It's such a small thing, let me have my fun. lol

@kcvriess 7 лет назад

@hamsterdoom360 7 лет назад

I have never really liked coffee so when cold brewed coffee became popular I didn't try it because I figured it was just more of the same. But if cold brewed coffee doesn't taste as bitter (the reason I didn't care for it) I might just give it a shot. And then I'll finally have access to that secret source of energy human adults have been tapping into for centuries. I'll be UNSTOPPABLE!

@Nalothisal 7 лет назад

Might try this since I can't really stomach coffee unless it's been deluded by 3 parts chocolate milk, a mocha as it were.

Stupid question: You pour a cup and microwave it? Will it get sour if it cools down again and you have to reheat a second time?

@robsemail 7 лет назад

Some Nepalese friends of mine have an interesting way of making what they call coffee, and as an occasional variation I like it: bring 1.5 cups of whole milk to a boil and add a shot of espresso. A poor man's version is to use about two teaspoons of instant coffee instead of espresso.

@mikewest3108 7 лет назад

I let my hot brew sit out overnight but not with the warmer on and it actually gets milder and way less bitter. But you can't keep it on the warmer to get this result.

@menohaveaname 7 лет назад

So I know cold brew is the latest trend but do most places water it down? Because I used to work at a coffee shop that did 1:1 water to cold brew concentrate and it was like, SUPER caffeinated.

cold brewing is also just like making coffee :-) you still have to control grind, temperature, kind of coffee beans (medium roast is usually quite nice) , brewtime and brew method (drip, steep, cloth filter) and more...yes I went deep down the rabbit hole called coffee...not deep enough though :-p typed this while having a nice v60 pourover.

I like the taste of most kinds of coffee (not super acidic though), but I tend to get really nauseous whenever I have black coffee even with milk! Is this normal? I can have iced coffee, lattes and such just fine, but black coffee just makes me sick.

What's wrong with people who never gets hungry? I have never experienced "hunger pangs" and usually associate feeling weak with hunger. People telling me I messed up my metabolism, by drinking coffee and my hunger is suppressed by it forever. I do like drinking coffee, but I don't consume caffeine everyday. Is caffeine really that good at suppressing hunger?
