In the final installment of our Australian Cold Brew Series, we’re joined by Leigh Mellington from Beat Coffee out of Melbourne, Australia.

Today, we’re joined by Ray Buerger, the inventor of the Brew Bomb cold brew system. The Brew Bomb is unlike any other cold brew system on the market in that a number of different ways. To name a couple… One, it uses precision cold drip technology allowing the brewer to dial in a unique profile for each batch. Two, it can brew complete batches in as little as 1-6 hours.

We continue our conversation with Colin Phillips, the found of ColsBrew based out of Dubai. We dig further in to a term that Colin coined to describe the levels of his cold brew, “Crafted Intensity”. “Crafted Intensity” is  noting that not all tasters palates are the same. We also talk about starting up a new business and the time and thought that goes into the process long before the company launches.
