BREWED SLOW. SERVED FAST. Arabica beans steeped overnight in cold water for 12 hours to slowly extract the flavor, making it an ultra-smooth, full bodied cold coffee with a sweeter, rich chocolatey taste. Craft-brewed in small batches.

Cold brew is a brewing method (cold water + long steep-time = mouth-watering coffee), whereas iced coffee describes how it's served (hot coffee, served over ice). It's still delicious, but a totally different taste, and tends to lack the ultra-smooth, deeply rich flavor that only cold brew brings to the table.

Both Dunkin' Iced Coffee and Cold Brew use high-quality 100% Arabica coffee beans and are freshly brewed every day. However, each beverage's unique brewing process and signature flavor profile is what sets them apart.

Cold brew is a type of coffee that is brewed with cold or room temperature water and steeped for at least 12 hours. Cold brew is unique in the fact that it doesn't have to be heated. Other coffees are made with heat to quickly extract their flavor and caffeine, while cold brew coffee has a much slower brewing process.

The coffee makers say that the drinks are costlier to make. It often takes almost twice as many coffee beans to make cold brew coffee, for example. There's the time factor. It can take 24 hours to brew a batch of Kyoto or nitro coffee, so you get smaller batches.

Cold brew steeps grounds, slowly, in cold water. Iced coffee is brewed hot - using a standard coffee maker - cooled and served over ice. Certain light, floral notes can only be extracted using hot water, so iced coffee tends to have brighter (acidic) and more pronounced flavors than cold brew.

Cold brew vs. The drip coffee you're used to is anywhere from 1 part coffee to 16 to 20 parts water. We also call this "strength". Cold brew concentrate is often 1:4 to 1:8. It is literally a concentrated coffee drink and is much stronger - and has much more caffeine - than the same amount of drip coffee liquid.

Cold brew coffee has up to 65% less acidity compared to regular coffee because there hot water is not involved which pulls out the oils carrying acid in the coffee beans. The result is a much smoother taste, so whether you have a sensitive stomach or not you'll love it.

Okay, so cold brew is less bitter and less acidic than hot brewed coffee. And with less oxidation and degradation of flavor compounds in coffee, you will notice a very clear change in flavor of coffee.
