Iced Coffee

[10mm-man]

You guys are getting ripped off buying fancy iced coffee drinks. Starbucks is way overpriced, not real iced coffee, and the coffee is bad to boot. Make your own coffee syrup with a Toddy Maker. I use one bag of ground coffee, fill with cold water, let sit overnight, then drain through the filter and repeat all the above. You have thicker coffee syrup without all the acids and crappy additives from Starbucks. You get about one gallon for the $11 bag of real coffee, mix it about half and half with whole milk, and a dash of water over ice....you will be hooked in 30 minutes. Rinse out the filter and put machine away for a couple of weeks till the fix is needed again. Most coffee shops server cold crappy coffee and call it iced. Not the read deal. You know it is real when 6 oz with milk and water gets you shaking a bit. I judge the mixture by the shakes.

Hey so if you let it sit in cold water than filter, wouldn't any filter work? I am not wanting to spend the $$ if I can do the same with a filter.

Hmmm. I just brew regular old coffee (whatever we find at the discount dented can store) and throw it in the fridge. I brew it pretty strong. Haven't actually figured the math, but gotta be cents per cup. I don't notice anything better with the occasional Starbucks (I don't buy them, pharm reps bring them to me sometimes), but I'm just a cheap old caveman.

I bet there are more Starbucks addicts on here than care to admit.

Personally, I've never tasted burnt ass.

I/m sure you had some "burnt ass" before! Why you lying?

I've never really drank coffee.. I just don't like the taste.

Never got the allure of all the fancy coffee drinks either.. load em with sugar and cover the original taste of burnt ass?

I don't understand you people!

Not liking coffee is up there with not liking dogs. Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the communist party?

Yeah, something squirrely about them folks not liking java. Though the fru fru stuff the people lined up 20 cars deep in the morning for the starbucks drive through scare me even more. I mean, who would pull up in that line knowing its like a 20 min wait for their caffeinated sugar fix?

Me? I've been drinking coffee since I was 6 months old. Dad was a KC-135 crew chief and Mom was working, so Grandma watched me during the week. Light coffee would keep me awake and happy all day, and sleep like a rock all night. Problem was, my parents didn't know "the trick" and I'd go through withdraw on the weekends and not be a pleasant baby.

I will admit; I have been in that line a time or two just for a freakin Foo Foo drink!!

Anyone ever try Doz Bog? Strong coffee there, and not bad! Only thing that bugs me is I think it's Russian or some shit like that, so in the back of my mind I feel like i am supporting a communist country.

Of course it just might be the name, I have absolutely nothing (but the name)to back up my thought....
