Best Cold Brew Coffee Maker Reviews 2018

As the legend goes, in the 11th Century, an Ethiopian herdsman called Kaldi noticed his goats became unusually active when they ate berry fruits from a certain plant. This got him curious and he took the berries to clergymen who boiled them and loved its taste. It later came to be known as coffee. From Ethiopia, coffee spread through the Arab Peninsula, Europe and the rest of the world. Originally, coffee was consumed whole by grinding it and mixing it with honey to create energy balls. These were very useful to long distance traders who needed the energy to trek for days. People also brewed coffee beans without roasting or grinding them. It was in 1555, in Istanbul, when coffee was first roasted, ground and brewed. Since then, a myriad of coffee brewing systems have been discovered in the attempt to provide the perfect java flavor.

Today, you can comfortably brew hot or cold coffee in your house using affordable and quality coffee makers. But for you to obtain a quality coffee drink, you’ll have to grind fresh roasts to a coarseness that matches your coffee maker or the brewing process. If you love your java cold, there are two main brewing methods you can use: immersion or slow drip. The brewing method you choose will determine the design of your preferred cold brew coffee maker.

In case you were not aware, cold brewed coffee is NOT the same thing as "cold coffee" or iced coffee (which is simply adding ice to strongly brewed coffee or espresso). Cold brewing coffee allows you to reduce acid levels by over 60% while giving you the flexibility of enjoying your cup of Joe even on hot summer days. When cold brewing java, you’ll need to refrigerate it to maintain low temperatures throughout the process. This will ensure consistency and better results. In case you still yearn for a steaming cup of coffee, you can easily use a microwave to heat up a portion of your cold brew and keep the rest refrigerated for up to a week (or get a machine with both hot and cold brewing options). This will ensure your coffee tastes fresh with an authentic flavor.
