关于这一集
In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Marc Marquez, Director of Coffee at Savor Brands, to talk about a highly innovative way of making fresh, chilled coffees – Japanese Flash Brew. They discuss why it tastes so different, ratios, the brewing technique, and share their recipes.
Marc also provides an insight into the impact the wildfires in Hawai‘i have had on the coffee growers and processors there.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Japanese flash brew is not the same as cold brew or drip coffee.
- It is brewed using a balance of ice and water.
- It can take just under 4 minutes to brew.
- Even if you use your normal beans, your flash brew is going to taste different.
- In Hawai‘i, coffee harvests, equipment, and processing facilities have all been lost in the fires, so they need our help.
BEST MOMENTS
‘[Japanese flash brew] is very different. ´
‘It is brewed fresh; it is brewed fast.’
‘There's a little math involved.’
‘It's the best way, in my opinion, to prepare iced coffee.’
