The shaker method still melts some of the ice into the coffee, though. Maybe use the stone "ice cubes" that some stores sell, though with that you may get the freezer flavor from the cubes.

I tried the keep a mug in the freezer thing at one point (for beer) but I noticed it picked up freezer flavor* that tainted the beer. I still do it occasionally now, but only when I can put the mug in 20 minutes or so before I pour the beer. Coffee ice cubes is a good idea but requires more pre-prep than a glass of iced coffee should.

* Now available as a band name.

xp you could chill your coffee by pouring it over a hanging slab of meat and collecting the drips at the bottom

let gravity and a huge frozen slab of meat do the work for you. it's easy.

Am I missing some reason not to keep a pitcher of coffee in the fridge, and pour it over ice as needed...? Does coffee get ''tarnished'' by refrigeration or something?

Never as good as fresh brewed, but I do that sometimes.

good NYT article

"opening the fridge to find a jar of concentrate is as much a part of summer as a nectarine or a Carvelanche. "

The thing that annoys me about my coffee shop is that they don't offer skim milk. Yes, I like it better that 2%. So I'll only buy drinks with no milk in it there.

let's get to the really important question: do you sweeten your iced coffee with simple syrup or sugar? syrup is obviously more effective but for my money it's just not real iced coffee unless i've got a sludge of crunchy sugar crystals at the bottom of my plastic cup, in easy reach of my straw for sugary sippin'

Sugar. Sweeten the coffee while it's hot, then into the shaker it goes.
