iced coffee

i ask for three shots in a 16 oz iced latte which i guarantee you a) has enough caffeine and b) does not taste like milk

like elvisa, i get it at peet's

Brew it strong, use a shaker and don't include the ice cubes in what you serve and it will always be better -- the only exception to this rule is Vietnamese style.

Let me let you in on a little secret: make ice cubes out of coffee. Sounds crazy, but it works. You might want to consider adding milk and sugar to the ice cubes, in addition. Hell, you can even add the ice cubes to coffee that's too hot! It'll cool it down very quickly.

Coffee Bob, what do you make of cold brewing

are u saying add the coffee ice cubes to gatorade?

I was surprised to hear the Jeremy Irons character in Brideshead Revisited refer to staying up studying with lots of Iced coffee when I started trying to watch the series a couple of weeks back.
hadn't really thought of it as being something that hit English shores that early. 1920s or 30s or whatever.

Amon cold brews are not something I have ever really enjoyed, they always seem too strong and they are usually too expensive in coffee shops. If I want cold coffee I will simply chill a mug of hot coffee.

Gatorade with coffee ice cubes? Boy that really is a strange idea. I would advise against it.

i'm tellin' ya, cold brewed coffee yields a different dimension of flavor.
and coffee ice cubes rule! they melt slowly

Is MJ still getting paid to wear Nike?

aaand wrong thread

looool

Instant iced coffee truly is not bad, depending on the flavor. I use Taster's Choice Colombian. French Roast instant isn't bad, either. Not crazy about OTC iced coffee - rather just throw those crystals in a tumbler with ice, sugar and soy milk. Then shake the bejeezus out of it. Yum, foamy. Currently addicted to this sh!t.

Instant coffee isn't bad shaken up with soy milk and ice - I like it strong, OR stirred into ice cream, esp. Mint.

cold brew iced coffee rulz

try telling that to Coffee Bob

"yknow if i want cold coffee i just stick it in the fridge"

coffee bob? more like coffee DAD

i put mine in the freezer with some ice cubes in it, it's good

iLatte time

Rainy out so the usual place is full of students

number of coffee shops in manchester that understand the concept of iced black coffee so far: 0 out of 4. STOP PUTTING SUGAR IN IT UGH

Have you tried politesly asking for no sugar?

cold brew or no brew

xp tbh if you ask for "black coffee" it is insane to put sugar in it imo

like by asking for black coffee he is already asking for no sugar

I think every single time I've gotten iced coffee in this country it's just served black by default and if you want cream or sugar you put it in yourself at the cream and sugar station

yes this is what i'm SAYING. i have politely asked for no sugar after taking a sip and realising it's disgustingly sickly

The tricky thing is that sugar doesn't change the color of the coffee.

Black coffee just means no milk not no sugar but they shouldn't be putting any sweetener in it unless you ask for it anyway.

I love ordering "dirty chai"s. Is that what you called it?

I got a drink somewhere in AZ that was horchata with two shots of espresso in it and it was called the dirty hor.

Also I am totally getting a dirty chair with THREE SHOTS tonight because i agree that the default amount used in latte type things is not enough. I like my coffee really strong tho. Also, I would like to praise the delicious nectar that is Grady's (no relation) Cold Brew. So fucking good.

horchata with two shots of espresso

WHOA

^^^ this is beyond amazing tbh

It really was. I've been dreaming about it ever since.

need

Why hasn't this combo been jumped on by the coffee corps of the world? Or even your usual 3rd wave shops?

i had this in nyc and really liked it! enjoyed it over ice with half a packet of splenda, no milk.

GOOD QUESTION.

I had to settle for a dirty chai after work yesterday but it was still pretty damn good.

JBR - :D It's $$ but really tasty.

Fantasizing about the horchata with espresso. Sounds like the best drink ever.

I am currently googling to find any place in this entire city that will make it. It's not looking v promising.

You gotta DIY

I know. I'm totally gonna. Except I don't have an espresso machine but I will figure something out.

Just bring a horchata into a coffee shop and tell em you want a double

SMAHT

Chicago is a magical place http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/October-2014/Horchata/

Treesh, I wd make you some but I don't have a blender but if you want to get ~fancy~ some time I will come over and make horchata w/ yr Vitamix and then we can drink it w/ coffee from my Aeropress because we are young and white.

ENBB GET AN AEROPRESS!!!! It makes espresso-strength coffee that is not *technically* espresso but is v close, is v v delicious, is $30; I bought it solely for making iced americanos and it's what I used to make spresschata

I have an aeropress! I can do that!

I completely forgot that it's basically espresso. YAY!

The prob abt this drink is that to do it right you have to make the horchata and you should really do it well (i.e. use a good rice like jasmine or basmati! go to the mexican grocer and get the flaky cinnamon! add almonds or whatever!), and it really is an enormous pain the ass to strain it, like SERIOUSLY a pain, but when you are done, oh! it is so worth it.

Chicago IS a magical place. I want everything listed there especially THAT PIE.

Yeah I'm thinking I should go on a Chicago Fall Horchata Tour.
