FAQs

What is the difference between cold brew coffee and iced coffee?
Cold brew coffee is not to be confused with just simple ”cold coffee” or "iced coffee", which generally refers to traditional hot brewed coffee chilled by adding ice. This taste is usually super bitter and harsh. Nothing we will EVER sell, we promise. 
Mode Cold Brew use time instead of heat. We brew our premium, organic and Fairtrade beans for 16 hours in cold filtered water to extract all the things you love about coffee, and none of the things you don’t. Totally stomach friendly and free from bitterness. Just smooth and refreshing taste with more caffeine. Ready to mix when you are. We call this coffee, but smarter. 

What is a cold brew concentrate?
It’s basically cold brew coffee but more concentrated. Making our concentrate we use approximately 2-3 times more coffee than you would in your traditional hot brew. We only use 100% organic and Fairtrade certified coffee of the highest quality. The benefit is that one liter of our concentrate actually gives you 2 liters, or up to 16 servings, of delicious cold brew.  Ready to mix 1:1 with water and top off with oat milk or whatever you’d like. Enjoy hot or cold. It’s only about 6 SEK per serving. Oh, and it’s faster than instant coffee, easier than an espresso capsule, and (in our humble opinion) tastier than the Joe at your favorite coffee shop.

Is cold brew stronger than traditional hot brew and espresso?
It depends if you mean in caffeine or taste. 
The taste of Mode Cold Brew is always smooth and refreshing. We believe life is to short for bitter coffee. Therefore, we make our coffee using time instead of heat. Our organic and Fairtrade arabica beans are always brewed for 16 hours in pure and cold filtered water. And it’s always worth the wait. Not only does this cut down on acids and bitterness, it also brings out all the best flavors. From the chocolatey and nutty notes to the smooth and refreshing taste, you’re gonna love every sip. 
We believe getting your caffeine fix doesn’t have to come with drawbacks. Mode Cold Brew Coffee contains more caffeine than traditional hot brew and espresso. With exactly 140 mg of natural caffeine per 100 ml and significantly less acids than the average Joe, our cold brew concentrate puts the superpowers of caffeine under your total control. See ya never jitters and stomach aches. One liter concentrate contains 1400 mg natural caffeine.

Can you heat cold brew coffee?
Yes of course, you can enjoy our cold brew hot or cold. We usually call the hot version Instant coffee 2.0! Just mix 1 part Mode with 1 part boiling water from your kettle. Or, heat it all together on the stove or in the microwave. If you prefer milk, top of with Oat Milk.

Is cold brew coffee more stomach friendly?

We’ve perfected our 16 hour cold brewing process to ensure you can enjoy all the flavors and benefits you love with significantly less acids compared to traditional hot brew.

How should I mix your cold brew concentrate?
1 liter of concentrate = 16 iced lattes.

Do you test your coffee for mold?
Yes we always test for mold. The inspection of mould is done by following the moisture content from every incoming green coffee batch. Regarding the moulds the most critical subject is ochratoxin A. Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin produced by mould that can develop on badly stored coffee beans. If the moisture content of green coffee exceeds >12,5% the risk of formation of ochratoxin A increases. If the moisture content is exceeded the green coffee batch is blocked and a separate ochratoxin A analysis is done. In the case the batch is not meeting the quality standards of Mode Cold Brew the batch is returned back to the supplier.
