iced coffee

I actually like the McDonalds white trash sugar free vanilla ice coffee.

Ed you can get those granita type ice coffees at the place of the Graham L stop.

Not one of the nasty ones out of a can? Would be wise to get a proper one before you write it off entirely?

It was a "proper" one. Of course you have to take into account I'm not a big coffee drinker. :-)

the caribou coffee iced-coffee-in-a-metal-bottle isn't half bad. pricey as shit though.

iced breve, no sweetener.

My new thing is adding cinnamon to the ice coffee with the milk.

I learned that in SF.

i'm at a coffee joint now, i'm totally gonna try that~

ha. my boyfriend's been making it at home! so i'll have to cut out my morning trip to the deli, which is good and kinda sad :(

Last summer I was 24/7 iced tea (Tea's Tea Pure Green and Pure Black); this summer I have shot past iced coffee and resurrected some kind of awful teenage iced mocha phase. I don't feel good about myself with this one, but man, kinda tasty.

Sometimes I think to myself "this is awful, you're just drinking, like, a caffeinated milkshake," and then I think to myself "I know, right? OMG how awesome is that?"

lovin iced mocha lately

Hope you like it, omar. Sometimes I add the powdered chocolate too!

I order hot coffee at coffee places out of spite: a cup of coffee is $1, but an iced coffee with the same exact coffee content is $2.50. 2.50!!!!

ice ain't free

luv it plain but only if it's good. bad coffee cold is so much worse than bad coffee hot.

sometimes this is all that will make me happy

this is my summer of iced coffee in my veins

Why did I think this was a good idea at 10:30 p.m.?

sometimes you just get the craving

maybe you can get coffee ice cream?

for future urges?

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.
