Dunkin’ Cold Brew Coffee
Cold brew coffee is not the same as iced coffee since it’s made in a different way.
Iced coffee is brewed coffee from a coffee machine that has been chilled with ice.
Cold brew coffee is made by combining ground coffee and cold water and letting it sit for a few hours in the refrigerator. There is no heat or hot water in the process of making cold brew.
The cold brewing process creates a smoother tasting, and less acidic coffee.
Dunkin’ uses their own pre-measured cold brew packs and steeps them in water for 12 hours to make cold brew in their stores. It’s made fresh every day.
A special dark roast blend is used to make cold brew at Dunkin’ and it’s popular to customize with flavor swirls, milk, or with cold foam.
There’s less caffeine in Dunkin’s cold brew than iced coffee. A medium sized Dunkin’ iced coffee has 297 mg of caffeine while a medium cold brew has 260 mg.
The Dunkin’ cold brews are not as strong as the cold brew at Starbucks, where they cold brew coffee for 20 hours.
