We're back with our second round of debunking coffee myths!
Coffee Myth #2: Iced coffee and cold brew are the same drink.
Despite both being delicious and refreshing ways to caffeinate yourself during the summer, iced coffee and cold brew are not the same drink.
It all comes down to their preparation method.
Iced coffee is brewed the same way as regular hot coffee and then poured over ice. The preparation time is mere minutes.
On the other hand, cold brew is prepared by taking ground coffee and steeping it in cold or room-temperature water for 14-24 hours.

Over time, a lot of myths have come out surrounding coffee. We wanted to take the next several weeks to debunk a few of them.
Coffee Myth #1: A shot of espresso has more caffeine than a cup of black coffee.
Truth: The amount of caffeine in your standard 8-ounce cup of coffee will depend on its type, roast, brewing method, extraction time and several other factors.
An espresso shot has a stronger taste than a cup of coffee because of its forced/concentrated extraction method and lower water content, leading many people to believe it has a higher caffeine intake.
Stay tuned for more Coffee Myths with Royal Cup in the coming weeks! To find out how Royal Cup can supply your business with high-quality coffee and espresso, contact [email protected] or visit www.royalcupcoffee.com.

Royal Cup Coffee enjoys over a century of success & achievements: our long-standing reputation as a quality roaster.
Like most great stories, ours has a humble beginning. In 1896, Henry T. Batterton made rounds in Birmingham, Alabama, selling coffee from his horse-drawn wagon. His company, Batterton Coffee Company, served coffee so fresh and flavorful that it was deemed fit for royalty. Because of its high-quality taste, it became known around town as a “royal” cup of coffee. Batterton Coffee Company experienced decades of success and growth, and established itself as a legitimate, thriving business in a small southern city.
It wasn’t until 1950, after William E. Smith purchased Batterton Coffee Company, that the company was renamed Royal Cup Coffee. To this day, the Smith family still owns and manages the business.
Over the past 100 years, Royal Cup Coffee and Tea has grown from its small, hometown roots to become a major importer, roaster and distributor of the world’s finest specialty and premium coffees and teas. Royal Cup’s reach extends throughout the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean, serving customers in the food service, hospitality, office and specialty coffee markets.
Our strong history is a big part of who we are today, but our company’s story still is being written. With appreciation and reverence, we acknowledge the past; with excitement and optimism, we work towards the future. We invite you to join us on this journey and become a part of the Royal Cup story.
