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 I've tried cold brew from stores and didn't like it - is it worth the investment (and getting yelled at by Mrs. Capt.) to get a home setup?
Get the Dunkin’ one, and ignore the instructions. Put all the water in with the bags overnight.
Don’t dilute it in the morning.
Taste is incredible.
I like the Primula setup. It’s cheap.
I do use cold brew as a concentrate. I drink it straight up.
@Kitty62862 @leejackson I use a regular coffee press (like under $10). I put in cold water, coffee, cover with plastic film to reduce contact with air and leave overnight in the refrigerator. Then I use the press to filter the grounds and pour through a filter to get the fine grain sediment. Cheap, efficient, tasty.
@Kitty62862 @leejackson it works for me.
