If you make coffee in cold water, you only extract the sweetest acids, the highly volatile flavors that hint at chocolate and caramel, the ones that boil away or turn to sourness under imperfect circumstances.
And cold tap water is fresher than hot tap water because it hasn’t been sitting in a water heater waiting to be dispensed from the tap. Better water makes better coffee so this is also very believable. I have been thinking about the question why they always suggest to use cold water to brew coffee.
Unlike drip coffee, which goes sour and bitter if you leave the grounds in contact with the water for too long, cold-brew just gets yummier and yummier (and more and more caffeinated!) the longer the grounds sit in the water.
It’s much more economical to use water heated from your hot water heater than to have your electric drip coffee maker bring cold water up to boiling temperature. Also it will be less wear and tear on the coffee machine.
