What type of coffee is classified as "Brewed" when prepared?

The classification of coffee as "Brewed" typically refers to methods that involve steeping coffee grounds in water for an extended period of time, allowing flavors to extract effectively. The Pour Over method involves manually pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter, allowing the water to extract flavors as it passes through the grounds and into a carafe or cup below. This process exemplifies the true brewed coffee method, where the coffee is prepared by immersing it in water, facilitating a full flavor extraction.

In contrast, Cold Brew involves steeping coffee grounds in cold water over an extended period, which, although brewed, is not typically classified under the “hot brewed” coffee category. Espresso is produced through a different process involving forcing hot water through finely ground coffee under pressure, making it distinct from brewed coffee. The Frappuccino is a blended beverage that includes brewed coffee but is ultimately more a combination of coffee, milk, and ice, blended together, rather than being classified as a standard brewed coffee.

Thus, Pour Over Dark Roast is accurately classified as "Brewed," given that it adheres to the traditional brewing method where hot water is allowed to extract flavors from coffee grounds over time.
