Rapid Cold
Brew System

You’ve probably seen an icy cup of cold brew on
Instagram, but we are here to give you the low-down.
Simplied.
Traditionally, cold brew is coffee that has been
steeped for a long period of time in cold water—
usually 12 to 24 hours. Because the coffee beans
never come in contact with heat, the coffee oils
don’t react with boiling water and don’t develop
that acidic, bitter coffee tang. The result is a richer
cup of joe with a smoother nish that’s easy on your
digestive system.
Brewing your coffee with cold water results in 65-
70% less acid than hot drip coffee or espresso, per
part. And if you’re looking for a buzz, cold brew also
often has more caffeine than regular coffee. Thank
you cold brew!
Cold brew is iced coffee’s
more talented and better
looking cousin—it’s not
really a fair comparison but
we’re going there anyway.
Sorry iced coffee!
SO, WHAT IS COLD BREW?

There’s so much we love about cold brew. From the
smooth avor, to the lower pH, we could wax lyrical
about this caffeinated nectar of productivity.
One thing we didn’t love though was the 12 to
24 hour laborious process of making cold brew at
home. We don’t have the time or the desire to plan
our coffee 24 hours in advance. So we decided to
use technology to nd a better way to brew.
Enter the Dash Rapid Cold Brew System. A
completely new way to make Cold Brew faster and
easier than ever before. Whether you’re making
ready-to-drink cold brew or concentrate, our system
makes it seamless. It’s like coffee magic.
Using our ColdBoil™ technology, the Dash Cold
Brew Maker hands you a cup of fresh cold brew
5-15 minutes after pressing that power switch. Yup.
Because we want to have our cold brew, and drink it
too, but we also need to get to work.

Cold Brew has...65-70% less acid then hot brew coffee.
Smooth rich avor without bitterness.Easier on your stomach
and digestive system. Cold brew is said to be higher in
antioxidants. Less cafestol (which affects LDL cholesterol).
Less bitterness means you can drink it black without adding milk
and sugar (and calories).
Did you know if you just love your morning cup hot, you can heat
up cold brew on the stovetop or in the microwave and you’ll still have
the same low-acid, great avor cold brew, but hot.
Smile! Did you know that because cold brew has less acid, it’s potentially
better for your teeth than hot coffee?
Never worry about an upset stomach after drinking cold brew. Because cold
brew naturally has far less acid, you can drink it black and feel great!

This whole
Cold Brew in
5 minutes seems
pretty magical, huh?
So how do we do it?
Thanks to our proprietary patent-pending
technology, we are able to create rapid circulation
and effect the same results you would get from the
pressure of boiling without any added heat. The
water moves through the coffee matrix while the
upper and lower lter in the coffee container keeps
the coffee grounds contained. This forces the water
to permeate the structure of the grounds, thereby
dissolving and extracting the avorful coffee oils.

So you may be asking
yourself,
“Is there a
specic type of coffee
bean used for making
cold brew?”
The Grind: The old 24 hour of making cold brew
required coarsely ground beans. With the Dash Rapid
Cold Brew System, it’s the goldilocks rule: Not too ne,
not too coarse but just right. We recommend using
coffee ground to the same consistency as you would
use in a drip coffee maker—AKA, Medium grind.
Rumor has it that the answer is complex and subjective but we have found that many favor a light
roast or medium roast bean over a dark roast for making cold brew. We encourage you to
experiment with different kinds of beans and explore the rich and diverse avors of coffee:
