Organic Cold Press Coffee

Coffee beans are roasted and ground, then steeped in cold water for an extended period, typically 12-24 hours. This process extracts the coffee's flavor without the heat used in traditional brewing, resulting in a smoother, less acidic concentrate. The concentrate is then filtered to remove the grounds.

Manufacturers use cold press coffee concentrate as a flavoring ingredient in a variety of beverages, including ready-to-drink coffees, coffee-flavored milk, and iced coffees. Its concentrated form allows for a strong coffee taste without adding significant liquid volume.

Coffee is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It contains caffeine, a stimulant that can affect alertness and sleep. Some studies suggest potential health benefits associated with moderate coffee consumption, while others note potential negative effects like anxiety or digestive upset in sensitive individuals. JECFA has evaluated coffee and coffee extracts.
