Months ago I replaced my aging drip coffee maker with a Ninja CM410 which has SCA certification for proper brewing temperatures. The unit has some extra features like a milk frother and an option for "over ice" delivery. Despite being an old codger I'd never had iced coffee save a Charbuck's Frapaccino which was too laden with chemicals and sweeter than I like. Decided to through caution to the wind and brew up an iced coffee with the CM401. Spiked the output with a splash of Kamora (Kahlua alternative) and some half n half. Oh my...  really really delicious and refreshing during these hot days here.I've read comparos between iced coffee and cold brew and have decided to stick with what I'm enjoying so much. Any others here enjoy iced coffee? Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | ||

Whenever I stop by my local coffee/donut place, I'll get a cold brew. Not only is it pretty good, but no carbs (Type 1 diabetic), unlike lattes, mochas, etc. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.

I like hot and iced. I french press hot at home, but order iced when out. Usually an iced Americano with an extra shot, a splash of non-fat, and a bit of extra sugar... Sipping one from Dutch Bros right now. phxtoad "Careful man, there's a beverage here!" | |||

I've been drinking cold brew coffee for over 5 years now. I went from hot coffee, to iced coffee, to cold brew. Whenever Chamelion is on sale, I stock up. Otherwise, I use my hario to make 32 ounces at a time. | |||

I have found that even bad coffee comes out well in cold brew: https://www.amazon.com/Hario-M...+%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-4 https://www.amazon.com/Takeya-...dExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= You can save a bunch of money if you make it yourself. | |||

I will admit to having considered a cold brew maker. Specifically this one which gets great reviews online: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0711WZ7S7/ But I've yet to convince myself that the iced coffee I'm getting from my CM401 isn't good enough.

Have you ever tried cold brew? Cold brew and iced coffee are about as similar as hot tea, and powdered iced tea. They say it has less acid, but I don't buy it. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Cold Brew here, there are plenty of concentrated offerings at the Public, however I stick to Stock, or Califia unsweetened, occasionally Startbucks when it's on sale. Been thinking of DIY as an alternative... | |||

No, no, no, never I have made it a habit to never say never but I feel comfortable with this one | |||

Iced coffee is OK, but seems to increase the coffee's bitterness. In other words, the same batch of beans brewed identically and drank hot would be less bitter than drinking after pouring over ice. I'm a fan of cold brew. I have two of the 1.5 liter versions. Same exact coffee beans as before will be less bitter than hot or iced coffee.

No. As said this was my first experience with iced coffee. I use quality fresh roasted beans and the result is as smooth and non-bitter as my hot coffee. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

All the cold brewers I've found are small, guess to fit into those tiny hip fridges in the tiny little apartments in big cities LOL I'd be making this stuff daily... Love to make one pot or two a week, not 7.... Thinking of one of these, and a 2 qt jar... Cold Brew Filter | |||

Hack: Take some of that coffee and fill up an ice cube tray or two to keep your drink chilled without diluting it. | |||

This reminds me, the next time I brew hot coffee in the morning, I'll do an extra cup to have as iced coffee later in the day. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

We like cold brew too. The only thing it takes more than twice the coffee to properly seep. But worth it. | |||
