About the Competition
To qualify for America’s Best Cold
Brew Competition, each competitor’s “Cold
Brew” must have been manufactured with
only coffee and water. The water may not be
flavored and no additives may be added during
the brewing or distribution process. Each com-
petitor will choose to sample either “traditional
still,” or “nitrogen infused” cold brew. Head to
head matches will be judged by the Coffee Fest
attendees alongside a control group of industry
professional judges. The industry professional
control judging will be judged “blind.” In both
cases, competitors cold brew samples will be
judged entirely on taste preference. Similar to
the America’s Best Espresso competition judg-
ing at Coffee Fest, all judges will consider only
the aspects of palette pleasure including: flavor
complexity, balance, mouth feel, body and af-
tertaste.
