Cold Pressed Coffee Served at Big Bug Station in Mayer, Arizona


Big Bug Station serves complimentary coffee made using the “cold pressed” method. Cold pressed coffee makes for coffee without acidity or bitterness that is totally smooth and reminiscent of perhaps the Hawaiian Kona Coffee. Coffee gets most of its acidity from the hot brew cycle. Instead of using heat, cold pressed coffee soaks in cold water for about 14 hours and creates a concentrate that after being drained off and with the addition then of boiling water makes a great smooth coffee. It has the flavor without the acid bite. Some of the well known coffee houses use this method to make their iced coffee drinks.
