Know Your Cold Coffee
So what’s the difference between iced coffee, cold brew and nitro cold brew? Iced is typically just brewed coffee poured over ice cubes, while cold brew, also usually served over ice, is made from a coffee concentrate (diluted with water), making it stronger and richer. Nitro cold brew comes out of a special tap, infusing it with tiny nitrogen bubbles for a soft, foamy texture like a Guinness Draught. Which is best is entirely up to you.
