iced coffee

Good idea. I could also get coffee Nips. Mmmmmmm. I used to love those!

One nice thing about being so addicted that I've built up a tolerance...I could have an iced coffee at bedtime and drop right off.

I thought I could too but no such luck.

do u guys mean proper iced coffee made from espresso or the bottled stuff?

I <3 both btw.

I meant the real kind made from espresso but tbh I love it all too. Am now having morning coffee. Hot not iced.

wait the bottled stuff like the starbucks stuff?

today is the first day of iced coffee season!

I am all about this. I will be brewing a pot this evening of EXTRA strong coffee for the purposes of icing it down tomorrow AM.

SO good. I want one now, but that would be be needlessly duplicative...I'm on my third cup of joe this am. The Monday fatigue is hitting me HARD.

this might be the most unspecial monday of the year so far

iced coffee is a lifesaver - i just wish coffee servers wouldn't look at me weirdly when i order iced black coffee

sugar?

no!

;) sounds good to me. ppl do that with tea all the time!

here they just serve it black by default, i usually just add a little milk for color

I got an iced coffee drink from my "backup" neighborhood cafe, and they'd blended, or something, so it was like a poorly made coffee slushee, with chips of ice still plonking out and melting on your tongue. I very nearly felt like I'd be justified in sending it back.

I can never get a non-blended iced coffee in london metropolitan area unless I specifically ask for it

what? i don't understand what this blended means. what is it blended with?

like the ice is blended?

I'm guessing it's blended with some sort of blender? Although in this case it's possible they just used horrible slushy pre-chipped ice.

that's very bizarre to me.

the starbucksization of america

one more reason i'm never moving to london

I'm surprised by that, by the way, London-wise. My whole concept of iced coffee is that it's served, like a normal drink, over ice. Running it through a blender turns it into something else entirely, like a frappe or something.

(Does even Starbucks do that? I think they at least distinguish between "iced" and, like, milkshaked.)

Starbuck's iced coffee -- sweetened (sorry haters) -- is pretty good. Not really milkshake-like. And better than a regular, hot cup of Starbuck's coffee, which can be bitter.

Out of desperation/convenience, I tried McDonald's iced coffee on Saturday. Weak.

so is dunkin donuts, but i think i've gone over this before

i was just trying to attribute the spread of blended iced coffee to coffee shops trying to compete with the frappuccino? i dunno

Yeah, that totally makes sense. It's just funny how a regular over-ice drink actually seems like a fancier/"nicer" thing to have than some blended thing. To me, anyway.

guys i really didn't know this was a thing. if i get served a frap situation next time i order an iced coffee, i'll have to send it back

(I guess it just depends how much you like iced coffee as coffee or how much you like it as a kind of "treat.")

so is dunkin donuts, but i think i've gone over this before

yes! the iced lattes are better tho.

Has iced latte always been around and I've just never noticed it? Pretty damn good

i hate diary milk so **ck lattes but cold brewed coffee is sublime. 1/3 cup grounds: 12 oz H20 let sit and chill for ten hours or so. strain through a fine mesh strainer and cup of godlike iced coffee is yours. taste is fantastic this way but it does use a bit more beans to make it thusly

i love iced coffee

iced latte is really iced milk w/ some coffee flavoring tho imo

not that it's a bad thing... but not enough caffeine

iced coffee is my boyfriend

yday I used my Starbucks birthday drink to get an iced chai w/ two shots of espresso. V v good.

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

oh that sounds really good

Peets' iced latte was the sole thing that got me through moving last month.

stumptown's cold brew has fueled me through a few occasions this past month.

I tried out this place too: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/dining/the-best-iced-latte-in-america.html

I suppose you can call it a mild version of Thai Iced Coffee. Wouldn't go out of the way for it.

i get so sad when you order iced coffee & they reach for just the tiniest lil plastic cup

also sucks strolling into a cafe trailing a thought bubble full of sweet frosty coffee sloshing around in it & seeing COLD BREW — $5.50 chalked on the board

I bought adorable paper straws to drink the cold brew I make for myself with

first of all iced latte is made with espresso, not 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.
