Iced Coffee

[Richard K]

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!

I guess I'll take your word for it. Personally, I've never tasted burnt ass.

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.

Funny. I tell people that I like my coffee blonde & sweet, like I like my women.

My wife finds no humor in this statement as she is brunette & while I love her dearly, she's not especially known for being "sweet".

Yeah...I say the same thing. My wife (who is a sweetheart, and has a great sense of humor) looked at me the first time and said, "Then why'd you marry a redhead?" I said, my girlfriend is a blonde. She said something along the lines of "Then I guess I better get my boyfriend back..."

(At this point I'll caution against the baiting of redheaded females...from what I can tell saying what I did could be fatal in most other cases.)

I can't do iced coffee. I love good (hot) coffee, but I can't do the cold stuff. Sort of like warm beer, never understood the attraction.

I used to spend a fortune when I was stationed in Japan on Georgia Iced Coffee. It was sold in vending machines in cans.

There was also a little restaurant just off base that served iced coffee in chilled brass cups. I would kill for some of that now.

Japanese vending machines and the wide variety of weird stuff you can get out of them are awesome. Ive been to Japan a few times, usually staying for about a month each time. You ever try BOSS coffee? as far as the shit you could get out of a vending machine go's it was pretty good. I would drink nearly ten a day.
