How do you like your coffee?

[SoDakHawk]

They are. Cold brew is brewed with cold water. Iced coffee is brewed hot and poured over ice.

I've had coffee left in the pot I brewed that I just pour into a container and stick it in the fridge. Later in the afternoon drink it cold with ice and a splash of cream. Not sure if that is cold brew or iced coffee but it tastes fine to me.

If I want to cold brew something it's tea. Love iced tea too.

I can do black coffee but I much prefer sugar and creamer. I just run Folgers Classic Roast through the Keurig, add sugar, add carmel creamer.

If my wife has to stop at Starbucks or Scooters, a Carmel latte or Carmelicious will do the trick.

So basically a vivarin and a snickers bar.

Splash of heavy cream, no sugar.

If I heat cold brew in the microwave the next morning, does it lose the cold brew purpose/benefits?

The idea of drinking a cold cup of coffee at 4:15 every morning isn’t appealing to me.

Prefer a double shot espresso straight, cold brew (less heart burn), or just black.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Generally just black. Always locally roasted, usually out of convenience as opposed to some coffee snobbery. I maintain a batch of cold brew at all times and is what I usually have in the morning. It also mixes well with Fernet Menta for a much more refined version of a RBV.

If it's not cold brew, I do pour overs with a V60.

Thinking about getting into home espresso with a lever/manual machine, but haven't committed yet.

Usually black to not break fast but on the weekends sometimes I’ll throw in a tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk.

 

[dandh]

Black always. Only thing I ever add is some ice from the convenience store soda bar to cool it off when it's too hot to drink.

I need some recommendations on how to prepare cold brew. I read online, and tried it once, that you just dump the grinds in the water and stick it in the fridge. When done you strain it into another container. Tried it, the straining part was too much work. Just as easy to brew a pot and stick it in the fridge. Adding a touch of cream to the iced coffee covers any bitterness anyways, which is the purpose of cold brew, to take away any bitterness.

Suggestions on a different cold brew technique?

Do you have a french press? That makes the straining easier. Also, several roaster make cold brew bags - like tea bags. One tip, the beans should be ground on course setting.

Speaking of coffee...I was channel surfing last nite and the My Pillow clown is selling My Coffee.

WTF

Just admit you were watching Fox News. It's ok, I listen to NPR.

I did grind on the coarsest setting. Do not have a french press. Will have to look into cold brew bags.

No. Between the 2nd and 3rd innings of Cubs game...really!

I didn’t start drinking it until my 30’s, I love it now.

I've been using this for a couple of years now: https://bluebottlecoffee.com/store/hario-cold-brew-bottle

Put the coarse grounds in the little mesh container, fill the bottle full of water, put in fridge, wait 14-24 hours. Pull the grounds out. Serve out of the same container. I sometimes dilute with water a little bit. I get 3/4 servings per bottle.
