I like the coffee to be so disgustingly bitter that it makes the back of my neck shiver every time i take a swig. I then proceed to chug the whole thing and have what some might say feels like a miniature stroke.
I came here expecting to be talked down to for preferring drip coffee, instead got a thorough explanation of the pros and cons of each and why that is. This is why i love you, scishow
Wow I didn't realize you cited your sources in the comment. I LOVE IT, thanks for doing that. Just another way that your channel is absolutely awesome.
I've been a constant coffee drinker my whole adult life and always thought people complaining of the jitters were just being over dramatic pussies. In my 30s there was 6 months when I had to stop drinking all caffeine. Ok, no withdraw, no problems, I thought everything was good. But my first cup of coffee after that 6 months had me doing an involuntary Parkinson's impression. It only lasted for the first few cups though.
I may have missed this but tannins are one of the bitter things in coffee and tea and come out when brewed at a certain temperature. "cold" brew coffee or tea doesn't release as much tannins and makes it less bitter but also changes flavor. In the home brew world to add coffee or tea flavor to the beer we usually cold brew it so we don't add tannins to the beer.
Hello, SciShow! I have a humble request for a video on the topic of cerebral aneurysms! I experienced a rupture when I 19 and the suddenness and severity of them would make for a good informative video for the public! Thank you!
2:00 oh, i had always heard that hot brewing generated more exotic volatile compounds that give hot coffee its nice taste BUT break down as they cool down and cause it to taste worse, hence why hot coffee brewed over ice doesn't taste as good as cold brew on ice. Turns out its just oxygen+heat
Why does the cream/milk not mix properly if the coffee has been sitting out too long? (OR has been reheated in a microwave.) I say "It's been cooked." when that happens. I assume it has something to do with the water boiling out, or like it was mentioned in the video, some kind of chemical reaction occurs after about 30 minutes. The coffee taste more acidic, and the same amount of cream won't change the color the same. (It takes MORE creamer to change the color after a while)
Based on this video, made cold brew coffee overnight... not bad! But, my normal way to drink it is with soy milk and blended cashews, once I do that, can't tell the difference! Edit: Ok, today I made my regular hot coffee, and tried it black... coldbrew is much milder and easier to drink black!!! yeah science!
I like cold brew coffee, but I prefer putting in the microwave so it’s warm. I like it because it’s quicker to have in the morning, because I can just filter it before the weekdays, and then I can wake up, mix the concentrate with some water, pop it in the microwave, then bam. Instant coffee that tastes better than just mixing the coffee mix with boiling water. Plus, less acid means less upset tummy.
preferring my moccamaster which brews the coffee directly into a thermos. the coffee is not in touch with oxygen and there is no hot plate, it doesnt go stale. (altho it doesnt stay hot endlessly either)
1: the person was curious; he/she is helping make it more known (if it pops up a lot it's more likely to be answered) 2: I used to be afraid of my poop exploding all over my clothes (when I was little, and i knew it was irrational at the time) do you feel like you're going to poop on your clothes?
Please do another video on this and give 10x more information. For example, what is the difference in chemical composition of the 2 types of coffee? Which one is more acidic? Which one is better for you?
I have never really liked coffee so when cold brewed coffee became popular I didn't try it because I figured it was just more of the same. But if cold brewed coffee doesn't taste as bitter (the reason I didn't care for it) I might just give it a shot. And then I'll finally have access to that secret source of energy human adults have been tapping into for centuries. I'll be UNSTOPPABLE!
jittery without caffiene thank you very much. I need this on a shirt for every time someone looks at me like 'dude you don't have coffee? your missing out!'
the best ''chocolatey'' coffee is New Mexico Pinon Coffee, roasted with pine nuts it imparts a toasty flavor to the coffee, brewed hot it tastes rich and mellow, iced and sweetened is wonderful, diluted and sweetened will give you a ''Sweet Tea'' experience Hencho e Mano, New Mexico Pinon Coffee, in the Bright Red Bag !! none can compare
I finished a documentary on deep space and needed to look twice at the title image of this video because I thought the cup of cold brew coffee was the surface of a dying Star. Not only I learned something about chemistry, but I got a good laugh. Thanks SciShow!
What's wrong with people who never gets hungry? I have never experienced "hunger pangs" and usually associate feeling weak with hunger. People telling me I messed up my metabolism, by drinking coffee and my hunger is suppressed by it forever. I do like drinking coffee, but I don't consume caffeine everyday. Is caffeine really that good at suppressing hunger?
Woah, did you guys decide to stop begging for "like and subscribes"? I noticed that you didn't say "and don't forget to like and subscribe". You simply thanked your existing Patreon supporters and let the video end. Very nice, very classy, and very professional. I definitely approve.
you can't beat a Vietnamese drip coffee. I prefer cafe du monde with condensed milk, absolutely marvelous and rich. the chicory gives a nice finish and brightens the taste
So I know cold brew is the latest trend but do most places water it down? Because I used to work at a coffee shop that did 1:1 water to cold brew concentrate and it was like, SUPER caffeinated.
I can't stand sweet things first thing in the morning--they taste tart to me at that time of day. At the same time, hot coffee with unsweetened almond milk and no sugar tastes sweet. What gives? Why are my taste buds so weird right when I wake up?
So, it's like sun tea. But with more grounds in it... And made out of coffee. Hmmm...Now the engineer's daughter in me wants to figure out how to do it with out adding a snack of coffee beans to my morning blend. Yes yes I'm sure there are loads of contraptions to do this. I don't care. I want to sort it out for myself. So I can feel accomplished. It's such a small thing, let me have my fun. lol
I let my hot brew sit out overnight but not with the warmer on and it actually gets milder and way less bitter. But you can't keep it on the warmer to get this result.
I like the taste of most kinds of coffee (not super acidic though), but I tend to get really nauseous whenever I have black coffee even with milk! Is this normal? I can have iced coffee, lattes and such just fine, but black coffee just makes me sick.
you forgot to mention the best thing (i.m.o.) about cold-brewed coffee (apart from the higher caffeine content): that amazing fresh-ground coffee bean aroma! the one that hits you first thing you open the bag
The cold brew I have every morning absolutely rockets me into gear. There’s something about it makes me feel like there’s like 2x the amount of caffeine
The Canadian "double-double" is the ultimate coffee beverage. It has the caffeine, the sweetness, the texture, the lower temperature makes chugging quickly very easy, and it's available EVERYWHERE 24/7! 👻 yay timmies!
cold brewing is also just like making coffee :-) you still have to control grind, temperature, kind of coffee beans (medium roast is usually quite nice) , brewtime and brew method (drip, steep, cloth filter) and more...yes I went deep down the rabbit hole called coffee...not deep enough though :-p typed this while having a nice v60 pourover.
If people served cold brew hot, I might be interested in drinking it? I'm old-fashioned. I like my coffee served hot and unadulterated, and then I'll drink it any temperature as it cools down. It needs to start hot, but then I'm temperature-neutral. There's nothing wrong with "regular coffee," and get out of here with that iced coffee! Bitter taste is underrated. Broccoli rabe is my favorite vegetable. I eat it every day.
If your coffee tastes bitter or sour, it wasn't brewed right. The easiest way to discern if an business or person knows proper coffee is to get it black. That's no sugar, no cream, and no flavorings. Only the truest taste of the coffee. If it tastes bitter or sour, it wasn't brewed right and I would move on. Proper ground, stored, roasted, and brewed coffee does not taste bitter or sour.
regular coffee gives me really bad heartburn. i discovered you can make cold brew in a french press by pouring in cold water and just letting it sit in your fridge for like 24 hours. im never going back
Just buy good quality Arabica variety coffee that has been well washed with clean water and well picked(only mature beans selected ) and you wont need to do cold brew coffee. Well selected beans and well washed coffee wont be bitter and they will have low acidity. Arabica= sweetest coffee type
Well, I don't care much for coffee, but now I want to hot brew a batch of tea and cold brew a batch of tea and see if my friends can tell the difference without knowing which is which.
The title is designed to draw the attention of those who find it better tasting and may be asking why they find it this way, not a flat statement that everyone everywhere will always prefer the taste of cold-brewed coffee. They're not trying to force an opinion one you and masquerade it as fact, they're just trying to get the video to people who may be curious.
Coffee used to taste burned to me, no matter what I did. Then someone told me to put the powder in cold water first and coffee became the best thing ever.
I don't like coffee either. But maybe next time I'm forced into a coffee shop, I can ask if they have cold brew, which might be good enough to drink. Or I'll be horribly disgusted by the wretched drink again.
i made cold brew coffee once and a bunch of bacteria grew into this big gelatinous lump inside that horrified me so much that i will never drink it again no matter how good it is
Mmm... coffee. I've had everything from spiked Kyrgyz coffee to afghan espresso to fancy French coffee to char black canned coffee in Tokyo itself, and even something as simple as maxwell house at home and let me tell you cold brew is THE best coffee I have tasted, no matter where its from..
I like the coffee to be so disgustingly bitter that it makes the back of my neck shiver every time i take a swig. I then proceed to chug the whole thing and have what some might say feels like a miniature stroke.
I think you need Jesus.
jonathan camarena lmfao
lol your description of how you like your coffee made me laugh so hard, I nearly choked XD
I get that if I try to microwave leftover coffee! I however, do not like that. It seemed more noticeable with cheaper coffee.
I love drinking coffee to the point where I'm actually starting to get sleepier but my heart rate keeps rising. Yum!!
>literally just fixed up a cup of cold brew
>take a few sips
>notification pop ups
THEY KNOW
Ryukachoo wow
SAME
This is why I never take off my tinfoil hat anymore.
Do you heat it up afterwards?
>greentexting on youtube
Explain yourself, son.
Chemistry exam tomorrow ... hopefully I get a question about coffee
LoL
I came here expecting to be talked down to for preferring drip coffee, instead got a thorough explanation of the pros and cons of each and why that is. This is why i love you, scishow
"I like for it to taste like chocolate." Hank gets me 😂
Wow I didn't realize you cited your sources in the comment. I LOVE IT, thanks for doing that. Just another way that your channel is absolutely awesome.
Tip for if you end up with the diner coffee that's gone stale, add a pinch of salt, that'll make it taste nearly good as new.
LMAO I CAN'T GET OVER THIS 0:17

Why is it easier to poop while I'm naked?
It doesnt all end up in your underwear
Colafani you stole a comment from someone else
1: the person was curious; he/she is helping make it more known (if it pops up a lot it's more likely to be answered)
2: I used to be afraid of my poop exploding all over my clothes (when I was little, and i knew it was irrational at the time) do you feel like you're going to poop on your clothes?
Crashing Tomorrow He should have said that he freebooted the sentence, not stole it.
Notably, I know this feeling well.
Very interesting. If you like cold brew, you should try the Klein Cold Brew Coffee filter on Amazon! For cold brew at home in mason jars.

When I tell people who drink coffee that I don't need caffeine in the morning: "How do you stay awake in the morning?"
Magic!
What are the methods of measuring the age of monuments and excavations ??

Aaaand now I know why it's so more popular than hot coffee at the Starbucks I work at. Thanks Hank! Keep the science coming!

Stupid question: You pour a cup and microwave it? Will it get sour if it cools down again and you have to reheat a second time?
Please do a video on TSE Disease with a focus on scrapie and bovine

what are the dark brown fleckles certain people have and how do they get them?
I just got a Nespresso ad before this!!! That is hilarious. Genius marketing.
So, it's like sun tea.
But with more grounds in it... And made out of coffee.
Hmmm...Now the engineer's daughter in me wants to figure out how to do it with out adding a snack of coffee beans to my morning blend.
Yes yes I'm sure there are loads of contraptions to do this. I don't care. I want to sort it out for myself. So I can feel accomplished. It's such a small thing, let me have my fun. lol
I didn't even know this could be done. How much time should I leave the coffee mixing with the water?
I let my hot brew sit out overnight but not with the warmer on and it actually gets milder and way less bitter. But you can't keep it on the warmer to get this result.
Omnomnom, science!
I tried to explain this to my coworkers a few weeks ago, and none of them believed me. Thanks for verifying my hypothesis!

I've had cold brew. It's so much more bitter than regular coffee. like I had to drown it in coffee creamer for it to even be relatively palatable
*googles furiously for cold brew coffee recipes*
Oh Hank, you're such kid at heart :)

Might try this since I can't really stomach coffee unless it's been deluded by 3 parts chocolate milk, a mocha as it were.
is there a difference in hot brewed tea and iced tea?
So does cold brew work with tea too?
This is the first time I have ever heard about cold brew coffee. And the contents of my veins are pretty much 4% coffee. Must try this.
Question, how much weight can one floor hold before it collapses?
I personally love both hot and cold coffee or tea.
what about cold brew coffee though
Cold brew coffee? Well, I'll be looking that up online.... thanks SciShow!
The cold brew I have every morning absolutely rockets me into gear. There’s something about it makes me feel like there’s like 2x the amount of caffeine
Since coffee can make some folks poop soon after drinking; does cold brewed coffee have the same effect?
Only until I visited the US, I finally realized why they say your coffee is lame. Got nothing on my Costa Rican coffee at all.
The Canadian "double-double" is the ultimate coffee beverage. It has the caffeine, the sweetness, the texture, the lower temperature makes chugging quickly very easy, and it's available EVERYWHERE 24/7! 👻 yay timmies!
I've never heard of cold brew coffee. Do you also drink it cold? Do you heat it up when it's 'done' or what?

cold brew coffee amazing, cold brew tea delicious. cold brew top ramen....so much more delicious than I expected...
I mix a serving of chocolate protein powder in my cold brewed coffee and it tastes like chocolate milk. Question, it tastes less acidic but is it?
Including Kelvin temperatures now?
at 0:29 isn't that high bridge root beer? they come in those growlers
do you drink this Coffee Cold too? og do you warm it up after the cold brew?

Proper ground, stored, roasted, and brewed coffee does not taste bitter or sour.
After watching this video, I feel like I need a gallon of coffee
Does it contain more caffeine or less?
I'll never switch away from cold brew coffee, even through the winter in Canada
You didn't go into the health benefits when the oils are not burned, oxidized too much. Or, the low acidic profile, 40% less, generally.
I have never heard of cold brew coffee
Has no one ever noticed how Hank sounds EXACTLY like Professor Frink from The Simpsons? Especially in the older videos.
Hipsters don't like to drink cold brew. Because they drank coffee before it was cool. Baduum tish! Thanks ladies and gents I'm here all week.
Billy Taj :D
interesting, never had cold brew as far as i know... will try it if i come across it
regular coffee gives me really bad heartburn. i discovered you can make cold brew in a french press by pouring in cold water and just letting it sit in your fridge for like 24 hours. im never going back
I thought the title said, "Why does cold brew coffee taste like beer?"
and of I make a cold brew and then heat it? would the taste, the level of acid etc change?
for me, coffee has to be hot ^_^
why is the title of this video a loaded question just like ironically this is a loaded question
When we suck drinks how is the pressure inside our body normalized ?
I didn't even know cold brew coffee was a thing until I watched this... I'm gonna have to try that
Is cold brew supposed to be sour
Just buy good quality Arabica variety coffee that has been well washed with clean water and well picked(only mature beans selected ) and you wont need to do cold brew coffee. Well selected beans and well washed coffee wont be bitter and they will have low acidity. Arabica= sweetest coffee type
Is it worth cold brewing coffee and heating it up later to drink hot?
Why does tea taste bad/(different) when it's been in a thermos?
"I like mine to taste like chocolate." Ha! Good choice.
why wouldn't you put a link to the mentioned channel in the description?
Can you just use pressure to help accelerate the cold brew process.
Well, I don't care much for coffee, but now I want to hot brew a batch of tea and cold brew a batch of tea and see if my friends can tell the difference without knowing which is which.

When you never have cold brew coffee or hot coffee but just iced coffee..
This is very informative. Can i share this to our fb page? :) will give credits on the post also.
does this work with tea to
If you don't want to wait while brewing, you can also get less bitter, sweeter tasting coffee by choosing a lighter roast.
Can you cold brew Tea? If so what is it like?
Where can I buy cold brew coffee?
Mmm... coffee. I've had everything from spiked Kyrgyz coffee to afghan espresso to fancy French coffee to char black canned coffee in Tokyo itself, and even something as simple as maxwell house at home and let me tell you cold brew is THE best coffee I have tasted, no matter where its from..
How do we keep ourselves warm internally?
