EJCMom Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 What is your opinion of iced coffee? I think it is disgusting. IMO, coffee wasn't meant to be consumed cold, only hot. I find all forms of cold coffee foul: iced mochas, coffee flavored ice cream, even mocha flavored baked goods if they aren't still warm from the oven. What says The Hive?

kchara Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It has to be really, REALLY REALLY hot out for me to drink iced coffee. I mean living on the sun hot. I do like Starbuck's Frappiccinos, though. Not the ones you buy at Starbucks, those aren't...right. The ones you get at the grocery store or gas station, in the glass bottles? Those... SO yummy!!

kalanamak Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I like it, and unlike hot coffee, I never get the jitters from it. How odd. I don't put sugar in tea or coffee, but a bit of honey makes iced coffee, well, sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imprimis Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Well, I love iced espresso. My usual Starbucks (or any other coffee shop) drink is a triple shot of espresso on ice. No sugar, no milk.

Alphabetika Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I love it! I drink it every day, using the "dead coffee" (coffee leftover from the morning) and adding ice, sugar and half-and-half. Dh drinks it cold with nothing in it, though, which is beyond my ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 This is really going to make people :ack2:... I can't drink any type of hot liquid, makes me ill. DH drinks coffee, but only at home on the weekends. So, on Saturday and Sunday I make big pots of coffee. He drinks a cup of hot coffee, and I mix mine half and half with milk and ice and add vanilla, cocoa powder, and a little bit of turbinado sugar. I put the leftover coffee in mason jars in the fridge, and during the week I just reheat and reuse the cold coffee. I have to reheat it first in order to mix in the cocoa. Since coffee has gotten REALLY expensive, this lets me keep drinking my iced coffee without making seven pots during the week. PS - Please don't accuse me of not being a "real" or "true" coffee drinker. Just because I don't drink coffee the same way as you doesn't mean it's not real coffee. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annlaura Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Mmmm. I love iced coffee. As soon as it gets a little warmer out, I'm going to be drinking lots of it. Even in cold weather if I have coffee leftover in the pot, I will toss in a couple of ice cubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn in OH Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I never liked iced coffee until I had lived in Florida for a few years. Although it was probably a combination of the Florida heat and the sleep deprivation of first time motherhood that helped me learn to like iced coffee. I do prefer my own homemade iced coffee better than bottled or one from a coffee shop, but I also prefer a cappuccino made by me too. I picked up some good coffee drink making skills during a brief job in a coffee shop. I still prefer hot coffee, but on a hot summer day, mid afternoon, an iced coffee is nice.

OLG Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Great break from iced tea! I could eat coffee ice cream all day long if it was calorie free. Now, just don't serve me one of those fruity flavored iced teas - those are horrid ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Inna* Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 That's the only way I drink coffee. :D I don't care much for prepared (Starbucks and such), but I make it just right at home.

Wendi Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I totally disagree. Both hot AND cold coffee have their place. When I was a kid, if there was some coffee left in the pot, my mom would put it in a glass with ice and a LOT of milk, and let me drink it. That's probably what got me started on it. Then my relatives from New England used to bring me Eclipse coffee-flavored syrup, which I would add to my milk, which made it taste kind of like coffee ice cream (which I also love).

happi duck Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 If I get iced coffee I drink it black. Hot coffee I drink with cream so for me it's an entirely different beverage, KWIM?

knit247 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I normally stay clear of controversial threads, but feel that I must comment on this one. ;) Like many of you, the thought of cold coffee used to be a most disgusting thought. But - then I moved to Germany and discovered Eiskaffees: coffee, real whipped cream (usually whipped by hand!) and Eis (ice cream)!!! Beyond delicious. Once summer rolls around I MUST have one several times a week at the local outdoor cafe! Please, ladies. Do not judge all iced coffees by what you have been served at your local Starbucks or Krispy Kreme. Please consider that there may be other versions - other recipes - out there that are beyond your wildest expectations. That is all. Thank you for listening.

mom2att Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Drinking my iced coffee right now . . . yum! I like hot coffee, too, but only when it is very cold outside--I can't stand to drink hot drinks when it's hot out. And since Florida is close to surface-of-the-sun hot for a number of months out of the year, it's iced coffee for me. But I don't drink either without lots of cream & sugar. Someone mentioned it becomes a dessert then . . . I guess that's why I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I am fundamentally against the concept. I can hardly stand a swig of cold coffee, ice coffee would make me shudder. Now, it is possible that if I lived on the surface of, oh....MERCURY, then I might change my mind as it would be necessary for me to get my caffeine fix but probably not through a hot beverage. I will say this, homemade ice cream - drop a table spoon of it into your very hot coffee and let it melt. YUMMY! Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
