There’s just one major problem – it takes anywhere from 12 to 24 hours to fully steep the grounds and allow the flavours to slowly be extracted using only cold water. That’s far from ideal if you want or need your caffeine fix in a hurry in the morning. However, engineers from UNSW have now developed a new way to make cold brew coffee in under three minutes – just like a regular hot brew – without sacrificing on the taste experience. The process involves using an ultrasonic reactor to speed up the brew of the grounded coffee beans, with the research published in Ultrasonics Sonochemistry. Addressing the challenge of speeding up the brewing process of a cold brew, the UNSW team led by Dr Francisco Trujillo, used an existing model o
