Cold drip coffee is not the same as cold brew coffee
Pouring cream in cold brew coffee

If you're a fan of cold coffee, you're probably most familiar with either cold brew or iced coffee. But what is cold drip coffee? Brewing cold drip coffee is an entirely different process that uses a drip tower brewer to allow water to "slowly" drip over freshly ground coffee.

A new study published on Heliyon found that the so-called "energizing" effects of your morning cup of joe could have more to do with ritual than the caffeine itself.
