Methods of brewing reduced temperature coffee

A method of brewing a beverage in a beverage brewing appliance to produce a beverage having a desired serving temperature, said brewing appliance comprising a brewing apparatus for infusing a beverage brewing substance, a first water source coupled with said brewing apparatus for delivering brewing water at a brewing temperature to said brewing apparatus for infusing said brewing substance, a water heater coupled with said first water source for heating said first water source water to said brewing temperature, a second water source of said beverage brewing apparatus for controllably providing temperature reduction water at a temperature which is less than the temperature of said brewing water from said first water source, temperature manipulating structure coupled with said second water source for manipulating the temperature of said temperature reduction water to a pre-determined temperature;

• and a receptacle for collecting a brewed beverage having a preselected serving temperature;
• said temperature reduction water from said second water source being mixed with the brewed beverage produced by said brewing apparatus for reducing the temperature of the brewed beverage prior to serving, said method comprising the steps of:
• placing a quantity of brewing substance in said brewing apparatus;
• dispensing a quantity of brewing water from said first water source to said brewing apparatus for infusing said brewing substance retained therein;
• infusing said brewing substance with said brewing water;
• dispensing a brewed beverage from said brewing apparatus to said receptacle;
• dispensing to said brewing apparatus a quantity of temperature reduction water from said second water source, said temperature reduction water being mixed with said brewed beverage for reducing the temperature of the brewed beverage prior to serving.
