Summary

This cold brew coffee is primarily composed of coffee and water, which are clean and natural ingredients. However, the presence of potassium phosphates, used as stabilizers, introduces a level of processing that affects the overall score. While generally safe, these additives can contribute to an excessive intake of phosphates, which is a concern for mineral balance and kidney function.
