Cold brew coffee has been making waves in the coffee world and for good reason. This unique brewing method, which involves our staff steeping ground coffee in cold water at room temperature for 24 hours, results in a drink that's less bitter and more flavorful than its hot counterpart. But there's more to cold brew than taste. Let's explore why small-batch made cold brew coffee stands out and why choosing Drip Queen Coffee makes you the hero.
Benefits of Small Batch Cold Brew Coffee
Boosted Metabolism
Cold brew coffee, like its hot counterpart, contains caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to increase your resting metabolic rate by up to 11%. This means that even when you're at rest, your body burns calories faster. This boost in metabolism can aid in weight loss or maintenance.
Mood Enhancer
The caffeine in cold brew coffee can significantly improve your mood. Studies have shown that caffeine consumption can enhance mood, especially among those who are sleep-deprived. Moreover, regular coffee drinkers have been found to have lower rates of depression. For every cup of coffee consumed daily, the risk of depression decreases by 8%.
Heart Health
Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Cold brew coffee contains compounds that can reduce your risk of heart disease. These include caffeine, phenolic compounds, magnesium, and others that increase insulin sensitivity, stabilize blood sugar and lower blood pressure. Drinking 3–5 cups of coffee daily can reduce your risk of heart disease by up to 15%.
Reduced Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Cold brew coffee can also play a role in reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Drinking at least 4–6 cups of coffee daily has been associated with a lower risk of this chronic condition.
Gentle on the Stomach
Cold brew coffee is known to be less acidic than hot coffee. This makes it a gentler option for those with sensitive stomachs or those prone to acid reflux and indigestion. At Drip Queen Coffee, we also use Lactose-Free Creamer.
