High-quality coffee should balance acidity, sweetness, and bitterness in one sip, with a smooth flavour, and no off notes.
That's a complex way to say that that good quality coffee should taste good. It shouldn't taste burnt, charred, or raw. It should have complex and nuanced flavours. It shouldn't taste bland. It shouldn't taste overly sweet, bitter, or acidic. It should feel smooth on the tongue. It might have fruity, floral, or earthy flavours. It should leave you wanting another sip, without sugar or milk.
Nitro a coffee alternative
Nitro coffee has a sweeter taste than regular coffee and does not require added sugar, which can help cut down on calories. Diets high in sugar have been associated with heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
One of the major differences between nitro and regular coffee is their respective levels of acidity.
Many of the acids found in regular coffee appear only at higher temperatures of 195–205°F (90–96°C)
Brewing nitro coffee at a lower temperature can result in significantly less acidity than that of regular coffee.
This mildness may be especially beneficial for some people, as the acids found in coffee can irritate your stomach and cause digestive problems.
The low number of acids also provides a unique taste and decreases the bitterness of nitro coffee.
However, cold-brewed coffee may have fewer beneficial compounds such as chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant that supplies much of the acidity in regular coffee.
