Cold Brew > Pour over - also, a TINY pinch of salt will correct a poorly made bitter-batch of cheap coffee. (I know, it sounds like the stupidest thing in the world, because I also thought the same thing before I did it)

Heat pulls tannins out of the beans which is where the bitter flavor comes from. If you brew the beans cold, for 24hrs ahead of time, you get a lot more of the nutty tones of the bean, and a much less harsh coffee. Bonus if you like cold coffee too, because you just throw ice and a splash of milk in it.

Yeah maybe I gotta go back to cold brew. Though I’ve been really loving the pour over in the winter.

Good info about the tannins! I heat up the cold brew sometimes and always amazed at how smooth it tastes compared to drip or pour over.

How do you heat it though 🧐

[–] ytorf 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just the microwave. That’s where any coffee nerd cred vanishes. It still tastes great though! 😂
