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
― Surmounter, Monday, 16 March 2009 03:51 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― WmC, Monday, 16 March 2009 04:16 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― wilter, Monday, 16 March 2009 04:22 (fifteen years ago) link
I meant the real kind made from espresso but tbh I love it all too. Am now having morning coffee. Hot not iced.
― Too Into Dancing to Argue (ENBB), Monday, 16 March 2009 11:50 (fifteen years ago) link
wait the bottled stuff like the starbucks stuff?

today is the first day of iced coffee season!
― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Monday, 16 March 2009 15:12 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

iced coffee is a lifesaver - i just wish coffee servers wouldn't look at me weirdly when i order iced black coffee
― lex pretend, Monday, 16 March 2009 17:34 (fifteen years ago) link
sugar?
― Surmounter, Monday, 16 March 2009 17:35 (fifteen years ago) link
no!

;) sounds good to me. ppl do that with tea all the time!
― Surmounter, Monday, 16 March 2009 17:37 (fifteen years ago) link
here they just serve it black by default, i usually just add a little milk for color
― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Monday, 16 March 2009 17:38 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― nabisco, Monday, 16 March 2009 19:15 (fifteen years ago) link
I can never get a non-blended iced coffee in london metropolitan area unless I specifically ask for it
― warmsherry, Monday, 16 March 2009 19:17 (fifteen years ago) link
what? i don't understand what this blended means. what is it blended with?
― Surmounter, Monday, 16 March 2009 19:17 (fifteen years ago) link
like the ice is blended?
― Surmounter, Monday, 16 March 2009 19:18 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― nabisco, Monday, 16 March 2009 19:19 (fifteen years ago) link
that's very bizarre to me.

one more reason i'm never moving to london
― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Monday, 16 March 2009 19:21 (fifteen years ago) link
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.)
― nabisco, Monday, 16 March 2009 19:21 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

i was just trying to attribute the spread of blended iced coffee to coffee shops trying to compete with the frappuccino? i dunno
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 16 March 2009 19:24 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― nabisco, Monday, 16 March 2009 19:37 (fifteen years ago) link
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
― Surmounter, Monday, 16 March 2009 19:38 (fifteen years ago) link
(I guess it just depends how much you like iced coffee as coffee or how much you like it as a kind of "treat.")
― nabisco, Monday, 16 March 2009 19:38 (fifteen years ago) link
yes! the iced lattes are better tho.
― tokyo rosemary, Monday, 16 March 2009 20:51 (fifteen years ago) link
Has iced latte always been around and I've just never noticed it? Pretty damn good
― calstars, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:27 (nine years ago) link
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
― Mordy, Friday, 29 August 2014 00:35 (nine years ago) link
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?

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 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
