DAMAGE
SPOTTED BUT THIS THERE IS NO
CONFIRMATION THIS WAS A TORNADO
TOUCHING DOWN.
IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER
INSTALLMENT OF FLASHPOINT.
THIS WEEK KIRSTEN O'CONNOR
TALKS WITH THE OWNER OF TONY'S
COLD BREW COFFEE.
>> REPORTER: GOOD MORNING!
WHETHER YOU PREFER IT HOT OR
COLD, COFFEE IS A NECESSITY FOR
SOME SO NOW ONE TYPE OF COFFEE
IS QUICKLY CREATING QUITE A
BUZZ.
NOT ONLY AROUND THE COUNTRY,
BUT RIGHT HERE IN CENTRAL
FLORIDA AND JOINING US IS
BARNEY AND LAURA FROM THE TEA
COMPANY AND I BET YOU HEARD
ABOUT IT AT ANY SHOP YOU'VE
BEEN TO.
LET'S EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS AND
WHY IT IS SUCHA POPULAR ITEM.
>> IT DIFFERENT THAN COLD
COFFEE THAT GIVES IT A NATURAL
AND SMOOTH TASTE.
>> HOW LONG IS A CUP OF COFFEE
BREWED FOR?
>> GENERALLY HOT COFFEE TAKES
2-3 MINUTES TO MAKEA POT.
SO, AGAIN,BECAUSE THE WATER IS
INFUSED WITH COFFEE FOR A
LONGERTIME YOU GET A MUCH MORE
ROBUST CUP OF COFFEE AND 12-24
HOURS?
>> CORRECT.
>> AND YOU THINK IS IT GOING TO
BE STALE?
IS IT GOING TO TASTE GOOD?
WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?
>> IT IS NATURALLY BOLDER AND
WE USE TWICE THE AMOUNT IN A
REGULAR CUP AND BECAUSE IT'S
SLOW STEEPED IT LET'S THE
COFFEE INFUSE FOR LONGER SO
WHEN YOU'RE TASTING IT IT IS A
LITTLE BIT STRONGER AND SWEETER
AND USUALLY PEOPLE DON'T NEED
ANY SUGAR OR CREAM IN IT.
>> REPORTER: IS IT IN ANY WAY
MORE HEALTHY FOR ?U
>> IT IS REPLACING ENERGY
DRINKS SO THE CHEMICAL AND
SUGAR CONTENT IN ENERGY DRINKS
BUT THIS IS A TOTALLY NATURAL
PRODUCT.
SPEZEDLY MORE ANTIOXIDANTS BUT
WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT RESEARCH.
>> BUT LES SUGAR FOR MOST
THINGS AND AT BARNEY'S YOU HAVE
THE AVACADO TOAST I LOVE.
YOU HAVE THAT WITH COFFEE AND
NEXT TO COLD BREW AND THAT IS
ALL YOU NEED, BASICALLY, FOR A
WHOLE MEAL.
>> THE AVACADO TOAST IS A BIG
SELLER AT WINTER PARK.
>> AND THEY GO NICELY TOGETHER.
>> THEY DO.
>> BOTH OF THOSE ARE PRETTY BIG
HITS RIGHT NOW.
WHY DO YOU THINK THEY'VE TAKEN
OFF?
>>WELLI THINK COLD BREW IS
FOR CITIES LIKE SEATTLE AND
POPULAR COFFEE SHOPS AND MAIN
STREAM BRANDS GOT HOLD OF IT
AND GOT INFRONT OF THE PEOPLE
MUCH LIKE CRAFT BEER.
ICED COFFEE TENDS TO BE WATERED
DOWN AND COLD BREW IS ALLEGEDLY
FOR SERIOUS ICED COFFEE
DRINKERS.
>> REPORTER: A SERIOUS TOPIC!
WE'LL CONTINUE WITH EVERYONE
HERE FROM BARNEY'S AND WHERE
YOU CAN FIND THE COLD BREW IN
CENTRAL FLORIDA.
>> ANCHOR: WELCOME BACK TO
FLASHPOINT.
WELCOME BACK AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT COLD BREW AND IT'S
SOMETHING I HEAR ABOUT ALL THE
TIME.
LET'S GIVE PEOPLE A BIT OF AN
IDEA IN CASE THEY MISSED THE
BEGINNING.
WHAT IS COLD BREW?
>> SO COLD BREW COFFEE IS
COFFEE THAT IS MADE WITH ROOM
TEMPERATURE AND COLD WATER AND
STEEPED FOR 8 TO 24 HOURS WHICH
GIVES IT A MUCH MORE ROBUST
FLAVOR PROFILE, NATURALLY
SMOOTHER AND SWEETER WITH TWICE
THE CAFFEINE.
>> YOU EVEN HAVE A COLD BREW
PROGRAM AT BARNEY'S.
CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT
THAT?
>> SURE!
WE'RE EXCITED TO OFFER NOT JUST
COLD BREW BUT EVEN THE NEWEST
CRAZE WHICH IS NITRO COFFEE
WHICH IS COLD BREW INFUSED WITH
NITROGEN.
THINK OF GUINNESS.
THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
>> REPORTER: OKAY.
SO I KNOW THERE IS THE NITRO
BEER, TOO, SO THIS IS KIND OF
SAME IDEA BUT WITH COFFEE.
>> CORRECT.
>> REPORTER: DOES IT GIVE IT A
DIFFERENT FLAVOR?
>> IT'S MUCH SWEETER.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T ADD ANYTHING
TO IT.
IN OUR CAFE, WE'RE GIVING OUT
FREE SAMPLES SO PEOPLE CAN TRY
IT AND IT IS A REALLY CREAMY,
SMOOTH FLAVOR.
IT GOES DOWN EASY?
>> REPORTER: AND NO SUGAR IN
IT?
>> JUST COFFEE.
>> REPORTER: DEFINITELY
SOMETHING I'M ALREADY THINK
BEING TRYING.
SO THE PROGRAM HELPS TO TRY OUT
THOSE THAT ARE KIND OF TRENDY
RIGHT NOW AND WHY IS THIS
COFFEE MAYBE TAKING OFF MORE
THE WAY THAT CRAFT BEER IS
TAKING OFF?
>> I THINK IT IS PEOPLE MORE
INTERESTED IN THE CRAFT CONCEPT.
THEY WANT THAT HANDCRAFTED
OPTION.
IT IS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER END
AND TRENDIER AND I THINK THAT'S
WHERE THE TREND IS COMING FROM.
IT'S REACHING THE DEMOGRAPHIC
AND THEY WANT THE EXPERIENCE
AND SIT DOWN WITH THEIR BUDDY
AND HAVE A COFFEE INSTEAD OF A
BEER.
WE'VE TAKEN THAT TO THE NEXT
LEVEL AND BROUGHT IT TO
SOMETHING YOU CAN MAKE AT HOME.
>> REPORTER: AND YOU RIGHT NEAR
RAWLINS COLLEGE SO I'M SURE
YOU'RE SEEING YOUNG COLLEGE
STUDENTS COMING BY.
DOES IT HAVE EXTRA CAFFEINE?
>> IT DOES.
COLD BREW HAS TWICE THE
CAFFEINE OF COFFEE AND CAN SAY
THAT'S ANOTHER ATTRIBUTE OF THE
COFFEE.
>> ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR MIDTERMS.
>> REPORTER: I CAN IMAGINE!
SO WE HAVE THE PRODUCTS YOU
BROUGHT FOR US TODAY.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THEY ARE
AND WHY THEY HELP YOU CREATE
COLD BREW AT HOME?
>> SURE!
WHAT BARNEY'S WANT THED TO DO
WAS REALLY SIMPLIFY -- WANTED
TO DO WAS SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS.
TYPICALLY YOU TAKE GROUNED
COFFEE, DUMP IT IN WATERAND
THEN STRAIN IT.
SO WHAT WE DID IS MADE A POD
YOU PUT IN 12 OUNCES OF WATER,
LET IT STEEP OVERNIGHT, AND IN
THE MORNING YOU HAVE COLD BREW.
>> GOTCHA!
CAN I TAKE A LOOK AT IT?
SO THIS LITTLE POD GOES STATE
INTO YOUR PITCHER OF WATER AND
YOU LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT?
THAT'S THE KEY PART OF THIS
THAT I THINK IS SO STRAIFRNG.
YOU WANT TO LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT
AND IT IS NOT GOING TO BE STALE
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
THAT'S HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
MADE?
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> THIS WILL BE PERFECT.
>> REPORTER: IT WILL BE PERFECT
AND LEAVIT FOR 12-24 HOURS?
>> 8-12HOURS IS OUR
RECOMMENDATION.
THE SWEET SPOT IS FROM 8-12 FOR
THE PHYSICAL POD AND I
PERSONALLY LIKE IT AT 8 HOURS.
IT IS -- IT'S SO EASY.
YOU DROP IT IN 10 OUNCES OF
WATER AND PUT IT IN YOUR
REFRIGERATOR IN THE MORNING
WHEN YOU GET UP AND IT'S GOOD
TO GO.
>> AND IT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE
NOW.
THE COLD BREW.
NOT THE PODS, BUT THE COLD BREW
RECIPES I GUESS YOU COULD CALL
IT?
IT'S IN DIFFERENT MAJOR STORES
AND I THINK EVEN IN THE GROCERY
STORES YOU CAN FIND IT?
>> CORRECT.
PUBLIX CARRIES THE PRODUCTS YOU
SEE AND,AGAIN, RIGHT NOW IT'S
HOT IN CENTRAL FLORIDA AND TO
MAKE A CUP WITH ONE POD, YOU
CAN MAKE A PITCHER WITH 3 PODS
AND WE GAVE CONSUMER THAT IS
OPTION AS WELL.
>> REPORTER: DO YOU BOTH DRINK
IT?
DO YOU LIKE IT BETTER THAN
OTHER COFFEES OR HAVE TO HAVE
THE CLASSIC CUP IN THE MORNING
>> I'M AN EXCLUSIVELY ICE
COFFEE DRINKER.
I PREFER ALL MY DRINKS COLD NO
MATTER WHAT TIME OF YEAR.
SOWHEN THIS PRODUCT CAME OUT,
IT REALLY CHANGED THE GAME FOR
ME.
I DON'T HAVE TO PUT ICE IN CAN
HAVEE AND WATER IT DOWN SO --
COFFEE AND WATER IT DOWN SO I'M
AN EXCLUSIVELY COLD COFFEE
DRINKER.
I HAVE A 2-YEAR-OLD WITH DOUBLE
THE CAFFEINE I NEED IT FAST AND
THIS OFFERS THAT.
>> SO NO ICE TO WATER IT DOWN.
ALSO A KEEL KEY ELEMENT, I'M
SURE.
WHAT OTHER KINDS OF COVICE ARE
OFFERED AT BARNEY'S?
>> WE HAVE HAND CRAFTED
ESPRESSO BEVERAGES,DRIPPED
COFFEE, ICE BREWED COFFEE,
NITRO TEASMENT PRETTY MUCH
ANYTHING YOU WANT.
>> AND WE DO POUR OVER WHICH IS
POPULAR.
BUT THE COLD BREW, ONCE YOU
START DRINKING IT, YOU'RE GOING
TO BE HOOKED SO IT IS VERY
ADDICTING,
>> I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN
THE LAST SEGMENT BUT ARE THERE
HEALTH BENEFITS?
SOME SAYING MAYBE IT IS BETTER
THAN ENERGY DRINKS?
>> COLD BREW IS REPLACING
BECAUSE OF THE ENERGY CONTENT
AND A LOT OF THE MILLENNIAL
DEMOGRAPHIC ARE INTERESTED IN
BEING HEALTH CONSCIOUS AND THIS
ISTAKING CHEMICALS AND HIGH
SUGAR EQUAILGZOUT.
THIS ISGETTING THROUGH THE
SPORTING EVENT WITHOUT
CHEMICALS IN YOUR BODY.
>> AND THIS IS NOT AS ACIDIC
AND OFFS A DIFFERENT SOLUTION.
>> WELL WE WANT TO THANK BOTH
OF YOU, SCOTT AND LAUREN, FROM
