iced coffee

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.

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

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

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.
