Best cold brew in Poznan

Cold coffee in Poznan goes well beyond iced americanos. This guide covers the specialty versions: slow-steeped cold brew, nitro, flash-chilled filter and espresso tonics, and how to tell a carefully made one from a shortcut. Roasters currently counts 40 cafés in Poznan, #4 in Poland.

The best cold brew in Poznan starts with the same beans the café pours hot: specialty-grade single origins. The difference is the method — long, slow extraction in cold water (12–24 hours) produces a smooth, low-acid concentrate that can be served straight, over ice, with tonic, or on nitro tap.

Beyond classic cold brew, the cafés worth visiting in Poznan also pour Japanese-style iced filter (brewed hot onto ice, preserving brightness) and espresso tonic (a double shot over tonic water — sharp, clean, summer-ready). Roasters surfaces which cafés are serving each.
