1.      It can increase metabolism

Cold-brew has almost the same amount of caffeine as hot coffee. Numerous researches show that when you consume caffeine, it impacts your metabolism. It gives it a boost, which helps your body burn calories fast for energy consumption.

If you want to drink caffeine to aid weight loss, but hot coffee gives you acidity, try cold brew.

Note: Coffee doesn’t help in weight loss, it just supports it. If you aren’t working out or eating right, coffee cannot do a thing.

 

2.      It can improve your mood

If you are a coffee lover, you know what it can do for your mood. Right? The same thing is true for cold brew coffee. It also improves your mood and even helps you get out of the sadness phase that you are experiencing.

There are so many varieties of cold brew you can try. For instance, the Vietnamese one or cold brew with oats milk & brown sugar is awesome (Starbucks special).

 

3.      Is better for people with acidity

If you get acidity or heartburn due to the consumption of espresso, cold brew can help you. In cold-brew, the beans are steeped in water for a long time. Due to this process, the acidity level in it is quite low. Thus, it can be perfect for people who suffer from acidity.

However, the best thing for you would be to eat breakfast or toast with your espresso or cold brew. A bit of toast or bread can help with the acidity.

Even though cold brew is less acidic in nature, it is quite strong. Therefore, don’t worry about the caffeine kick even if you switch your espresso with the cold brew for a day.
