Cold Brew vs. Iced Coffee: What's the Difference?
They may both be served over ice, but that's where the similarities end.
Cold Brew
Not all cold brew is created the same. At Winans, we proudly use Brootlegg's proprietary continuous extraction technology. This innovative process continuously moves water through the coffee grounds, producing a smooth, rich cold brew with remarkable clarity, balanced flavor, and low acidity.
Best for: Coffee lovers who enjoy a bold, exceptionally smooth cup with a clean finish.
Iced Coffee
Iced coffee starts as hot coffee that's brewed normally and then chilled or brewed directly over ice. The result is a bright, refreshing coffee that's lighter in body and lets the coffee's natural flavors shine. It's also the perfect base for your favorite flavors, cream, or sweetener.
Best for: A crisp, refreshing coffee that's easy to customize.
So...which should you choose?
If you're looking for bold, smooth, and extra caffeinated, reach for a cold brew.
If you want light, refreshing, and endlessly customizable, iced coffee is your go-to.
The good news? Whether you're Team Cold Brew or Team Iced Coffee, we craft both with the same commitment to exceptional in-house roasted coffee beans—so the only hard part is deciding which one to order.
