Greetings from Obsessive Coffee Disorder, your go-to coffee roasters nestled in the heart of Hendersonville, TN. Today, we're going to unravel the mysteries of crafting the perfect cold brew coffee using our cold brew maker and our deliciously smooth, never-bitter beans. Let’s embark on this flavor-filled journey together!
**Why Cold Brew?!**
Cold brew coffee isn't just a drink; it's a lifestyle. Perfect for those simmering summer days or as a refreshing twist to your daily coffee ritual, cold brew offers a smoother, richer, and less acidic experience compared to your traditional hot brew. It’s the cool cousin of the coffee family that everyone wants to hang out with!
**The OCD Cold Brew Maker: Your New Best Friend**
Our OCD cold brew maker isn't just another gadget in your kitchen; it's your ticket to a consistently perfect cup of cold brew. Designed with precision and a touch of coffee obsession, this maker ensures that every ground of our premium beans surrenders its full flavor, resulting in a brew that’s as fresh as a morning breeze.
**Selecting the Right Beans - The OCD Way**
The heart of a great cold brew lies in the beans used. Our OCD beans are roasted with love and precision, ensuring each batch is fresh, flavorful, and ready to unleash its potential in your cup. These beans aren’t just good; they’re a testament to our passion for top-notch coffee.
**Brewing Your Perfect Cup of Cold Brew**
1. **Grind to Perfection:** Start by grinding the OCD coffee beans to a coarse consistency - think of the texture of breadcrumbs. This is crucial for optimal extraction without overdoing it. Grinding your beans yields the freshest experience, but we are happy to grind them for you if you like! Just select “French Press Grind” when purchasing our coffee - this will provide a grind level that’s perfect for French Presses, and yes, for cold brew applications, too!
2. **The Perfect Soak:** Add your freshly ground coffee to the OCD cold brew maker. Introduce cold, filtered water in a slow and steady spiral, ensuring all grounds are evenly soaked. This gentle process is the secret to a balanced extraction. You will want to experiment with the perfect grounds to water ratio to suit your taste, but a good place to start is one part coffee grounds to 8 parts water.
3. **The Patient Brew:** Cold brew plays the long game. Let the mixture steep for about 12-24 hours at room temperature. This slow dance of time and coffee results in a brew that’s incredibly rich and smooth.
4. **The Grand Finale:** After the steeping marathon, it's time to separate the coffee from the grounds. The result? A concentrate that’s robust, velvety, and ready to enliven your taste buds.
**Serving Your Cold Brew Masterpiece**
Serve your OCD cold brew over ice for a classic experience, or get creative with milk, syrups, or even a dash of cinnamon. Each sip is a celebration of the care, quality, and passion that define every bag of our coffee.
**More Than Just a Cup of Coffee**
At OCD, every cup of cold brew represents our commitment to quality and our community. A portion of every purchase goes towards supporting mental health initiatives, blending the joy of great coffee with the warmth of giving back.
