XLIII Coffee: Da Nang’s Cold Brew Icon?
Đà Nẵng, Vietnam – The specialty coffee brand formerly widely known as 43 Factory Coffee Roaster has officially rebranded as XLIII Coffee, introducing a new focus centered around their philosophy – TASTE THE ORIGIN. On this new path, Cold Brew – a brewing method that was a key highlight in building 43 Factory’s reputation – continues to hold significant importance. While no longer positioned as the sole icon, it serves as a clear demonstration of XLIII Coffee’s dedication to meticulousness, quality, and its commitment to celebrating the original flavor profiles of their beans.
As the specialty coffee wave has grown globally, Cold Brew has established itself as a refined brewing method, one that demands patience but rewards with distinct, nuanced flavor profiles. And when discussing Cold Brew in Da Nang, the high standard of quality established by 43 Factory Coffee Roaster is still widely recognized, a legacy now proudly carried forward and enhanced at XLIII Coffee.
At XLIII Coffee, our dedicated team deeply understands each coffee bean to select the most suitable extraction method, ensuring its unique characteristics are highlighted. While XLIII Coffee’s current focus is primarily on showcasing the coffee bean through core brewing methods such as Espresso, Filter, and milk-based drinks, often utilizing extremely light roasts, Cold Brew remains an integral part of their menu, highlighting their expertise in extracting nuanced flavors at colder temperatures.
Unlike most hot brewing methods, Cold Brew is steeped using cold water over an extended period, typically ranging from 12 to 24 hours. The baristas at XLIII Coffee begin preparing the coffee well in advance, carefully executing the cold steeping process using specialized equipment. This results in a slow, gentle extraction, distinct from the rapid extraction of hot brewing.
XLIII Coffee’s Cold Brew delights palates with its refined flavor profile, characterized by significantly lower acidity and a higher natural sweetness compared to hot brewed coffee. This, combined with its complex aroma and smooth, full body, is a direct result of the extended extraction time. Notably, Cold Brew also stores better, retaining its distinct characteristics over a longer period.
Within the XLIII Coffee space, you might notice that the large-scale Cold Brew steeping vessels are no longer prominently displayed at the bar. While the process still happens, the visible setup is less a focal point than it once was.
While the Cold Brew steeping process itself may not involve overly complex steps, it undeniably demands a significant investment of time to achieve the optimal quality and flavor profile.
The Cold Brew offered at XLIII Coffee is far more than just a beverage. It represents the culmination of meticulous selection of traceable coffee beans, a carefully managed cold steeping process, and a genuine desire to offer a serene, pure flavor experience – one where you can truly “taste the origin” of the coffee bean in a uniquely distinct way.
In this new era for XLIII Coffee, where the “Taste The Origin” philosophy is emphasized through transparency, traceability, and sustainability, Cold Brew serves as an exceptional avenue for customers to explore the intricate flavor depth of specialty coffee beans. Trying a glass of Cold Brew at XLIII Coffee offers a moment to pause from the hustle and bustle of life and connect intimately with the original story held within the coffee bean.
