Is cold brew really stronger than regular coffee? 🤔

[suga98]

I keep hearing people say cold brew has way more caffeine than regular coffee, but then others say it’s just smoother, not stronger. Which one is it? Have you noticed a difference in the buzz?

Oh, I’ve wondered about this too! Cold brew can have more caffeine, but it really depends on how it's made. Since it steeps for hours, it extracts more caffeine, but if you dilute it with ice or milk, it might end up being similar to regular coffee. It’s definitely smoother and less acidic, which is why some people drink more of it without realizing they’re getting an extra kick! Have you ever had one of those "oops, I overdid it" caffeine moments?
