This coffee industry approach is prioritizing sourcing, sustainability on top of high quality coffee produce. Specialty grade coffee is a coffee that is hand-picked and sorted red-cherries only ( red-cherry coffee fruit indicate ripeness but it is known for it’s high in sugar acids, organic acids that contribute to coffee’s flavor ), the coffee is scored 80 by using SCA’s Cupping Standards by a certified coffee copper and the roasting process is properly done using a professional equipment not underdeveloped and no defect such as tipping or scorching. ⅓ of coffee production is specialty grade coffee.

This industry prioritizes quantity over quality. Most often associated with low quality coffee, 2nd grade, commodity grade and etc. . The processing in this industry lacks extensive care and quality control such as hand-picking the cherries, sorting of the green beans and the cupping score is less than 80 using SCA Cupping Standards. ⅔ of coffee production is commodity grade coffee.

Unlike V60 or Japanese cold drip, the cold brew is an immersion brewing method that requires coarse ground coffee to be immersed for 8-24 hours in a cold or room temperature water. However, this process eliminates most acidity as there is no hot water extraction involved.
