Prepared my first batch of cold brew today, (32g ground coffee, 500ml water) and staring at it I can’t help wondering what the difference is between this and leaving a brewed pot of coffee to sit for a day is? Could someone explain to me what makes cold brew special?

(Followed this guide btw)

    As stated in other comments, it’s different than an old pot. But, the reason I’ve stopped drinking cold brew is that the flavor DOES remind me of old coffee. I’m much happier with an iced Americano.
