Switters Coffee Gift Card

All of our coffees start with the highest quality beans and are ethically sourced. We care deeply about communities, farmers and all who process our coffee and we know you do too! So we only purchase coffee from the best sources. This includes the local roasters we have partnerships with. For example, all of our Bongo Java coffees are even fair trade certified.

Brewing coffee hot allows us to extract the most flavor from the beans. You know that really amazing pour over you gravitate toward at the coffee shop, that's how we start every batch before flash chilling.

Fast as lightning, we flash chill the freshly brewed coffee. This step is critical so that the coffee's flavor is preserved at the hight of it's extraction and the "cooking" process is stopped.

The difference is in the name.

COLD BREW: is brewed cold. Beans are immersed into room temp or cold water and set aside for a period of time. Usually 24 hours. The resulting flavor is often one-note, chocolately and an unpleasant bitterness. Cold brews are often diluted with water, dairy or sugar to balance the flavors.

FLASH CHILL: is brewed hot and rapidly cooled. We are able to create a variety of flavor profiles in our iced coffees simply based on the naturally occuring flavors of the coffee. These flavors come from the coffee cherries, processing style, and roasting. But you don't always want HOT coffee so flash chilling is our way of playing freeze tag to keep those flavors around.
