Anyone cold brewing coffee at home?
Now that our kids are older and w*rking either full time or part-time while going to college, they feel the need to buy my DW and I Christmas gifts. Rather than the usual books, clothing or dreaded gift cards (I never seem to remember I have them when I go to purchasse something ), this year I went on the Internet and found a cold brewing coffee system made by Hourglass Coffee - Hourglass Coffee | Cold Brew Coffee Makers, coffee maker, Low Acid Coffee - and my kids got it for me.
The supposed benefits of cold brewing coffee are up to 70% less acid than traditional hot brewed coffee as well as less of the 'bitter' oils. This is a plus for me, as I love coffee but have noticed recently that I am starting to suffer from indigestion - which I never had before. Since drinking cold brewed coffee on a regular basis, I seem to have less indigestion.
I am still playing around with it, trying different 'brew times' and ratios of the coffee extract to water when I reconstitute it for a hot cup of coffee.
