Today's coffee experiment: how many ice cubes can I get away with before it's not really iced coffee anymore?
Answer: anything less than 6, in my case. I tried 4 today, and came away with borderline lukewarm coffee. I'm guessing 5 won't cut it either. So, 6 cubes = good, iced coffee.
Oh: I ordered some Torani flavoring overnight. Some salted caramel pump flavor. Here's hoping it tastes good.
Tip from a fellow coffee-holic:
Fill an ice cube tray with cooled coffee, before bed. Freeze overnight. Won’t dilute your coffee.
Also: get yourself an inexpensive cold brew setup. Once you taste that, you’ll never drink regular coffee as iced coffee again.
@Kitty62862 that's a great idea lol @leejackson

Thank you!
Years of trial and error!
I make coffee after dinner, for the next day.
I need a huge iced coffee with my breakfast.
@Kitty62862 @ucantstop_me I ask because my current setup is a one-button deal. Add ice cubes to cup, put K-Cup in machine, press the "ICED" button, and voila! Iced coffee. Just add sweetener and cream and stir.
Nooooo... diluted coffee water 😱🤪
Problem is, I like diluted coffee water. Preferably with cream or half & half in it. 😜
If you like coffee diluted, you like it not strong.
Cold brew not for you. At least not my method 🤪
Don't get me wrong - I drink it full strength hot. I just enjoy the ice+coffee experience, probably because I've never done anything else. I don't know if Mrs. Capt. would make me walk the plank for buying this - she's already on my case for buying too much stuff with no place to put it.
It takes about the same space as a can of coffee or a pitcher
Okay, you talked me into it. I bought the Primula carafé and two bags of Cafe Britt Costa Rican Dark Roast ground coffee (I don't own a grinder):

It should all arrive Saturday. We'll see how it turns out on Sunday.
Your coffee maker, Keurig?
If you like your coffee not strong, the Krispy Kreme Classic is a real treat.
I do have a Keurig, yes, but I don't go for the weak coffees. Our current house favorite is Organic Drago Blend from Fresh Roasted Coffee, an espresso roast.

Tully’s Italian Roast is incredible. The only Italian Roast that’s not bitter.
Laughing Man’s Colombia Huila is absolutely exquisite!!!
Both come in K cups
I've tried Tully's - didn't go for it. Wound up experimenting all over the place, trying to find better coffee. So far, the best K-Cups I've found have been at Fresh Roasted Coffee (https://www.freshroastedcoffee.com/). They have the best bang for the buck.
