Pour Over
After capsules and pads conquered the market, there is a new found appreciation for good old filtered coffee. A simple and well-known preparation method with a new, hip term has become the big trend of young coffee lovers: Modern hand filtering is now known as “pour over”. The aim is to brew a cup of black coffee that is full-bodied and flavorful.
Cold Brew
Cold Brew has also become an indispensable trend. The coffee is prepared with cold water and the brewing process can last up to 16 hours. The result is delicious coffee with fewer bitter ingredients, lower acidity, and more aroma. The cold coffee can be served as is or as an iced latte. It is now being used as a mixer in cocktails. A mixed drink made with Cold Brew, Tonic Water, and Gin has become very popular.
