The surprising benefits of cold brew coffee you may not know about
Why you should you start drinking cold brew
Pouring cream in cold brew coffee

The distinctive brewing method of cold brew coffee sets it apart from every other type of coffee out there. Unlike traditional hot drip coffee or even iced coffee, cold brew coffee is brewed at a low temperature over many hours, giving it a truly one-of-a-kind taste. As a coffee connoisseur, I sometimes have to hold back a scoff when people interchange iced coffee and cold brew (they're really not the same thing). Unlike iced coffee, drinking cold brew offers a variety of unique benefits worth knowing about. These cold brew coffee benefits might just convince you to make the switch.
Cold brew coffee benefits: Taste

I get excited about the benefits of cold brew coffee, but the taste benefits excite me the most. I've always enjoyed drinking coffee in any cold form, but iced coffee always seems too bitter (especially when not appropriately made or with poor-quality coffee). To me, the reduced bitterness is one of the greatest benefits of cold brew coffee.

Should you add turmeric to your coffee?
It's not as far-fetched as it sounds
Turmeric

Turmeric is one of my favorite spices. It is known for its bright orange color and earthy, slightly bitter taste. When I think of turmeric, I think of delicious Indian cuisine, as it is a primary component of curry powder. Knowing this, the concept of turmeric coffee is challenging for me to wrap my brain around. Coffee and turmeric don't seem to make sense.

Why would you add a bitter spice to your coffee? The answer is in the health benefits, which make adding turmeric to your coffee sound farfetched. When you consider the popularity of turmeric tea, turmeric coffee sounds less extreme. Should you add turmeric to your coffee? Here's what to know.

Lighter mornings, lighter roasts: The case for seasonal coffee transitions
Changing coffee roasts from winter to spring
Medium roast coffee

I look forward to changing coffee flavors that coincide with the change of season. From pumpkin spice in the fall to peppermint mocha in the winter, seasonal coffee flavors bring me joy. Yet, even beyond flavored coffee options, many java junkies also change their coffee roast to match the season. Erin Doern, Free Rein Coffee's Product Executive, says switching your coffee blend is a subtle yet powerful way to reset your coffee routine. Below, Doern shares how he recommends adjusting your coffee roasts for the season- from lighter, fruitier blends in the spring to rich, warm espresso in the winter.
Why adjust your coffee roast style from winter to spring

"Just like you swap out flannel for a lighter shirt when the weather turns, it makes sense to change up your coffee too. In winter, bold, dark roasts hit the spot—comforting, rich, and built for cold mornings. But as the days get longer and the sun comes out, your taste shifts. That’s where a lighter roast comes in—brighter, cleaner and still packs the full punch of a great cup."
