Cold Brew Coffee Basics And More
Episode description
In this episode, Kenneth once again sits down with the podcast favorite and coffee guru, Stefan Tribble, to talk about cold brew and cold drip coffee and the growing trend of drinking cold coffee. They explain how the various types are made, as well as discuss brew times, cold brew ice cubes, equipment, types of coffee to use, and ratios.
