To ask if you like Iced Coffee?

[girlfriend44]

Having always had a hot coffee, I recently tried the Coffee with the cold water instead of hot.
I couldnt decide whether I liked it or not? Probably not tbh.

Wondered about others? Do you like it? Is it better in the summer when its hot?

Iced latte, yes. Iced coffee - mostly water, absolutely not!

I like cold coffee, but don't like it with too much ice which dilutes it as it melts.

Yes but it's got to be expresso run onto ice then extra ice added, it's got to be ice cold and I prefer mine with milk

I grew up in Massachusetts, where it’s normal to drink iced coffee all year. I always have a pitcher of iced coffee in the fridge!

I'm not a huge fan of either but would drink both. Make it hot OP, then put onto a glass full of ice and add milk/syrup etc, mix it all up - much nicer.

Love it on a hot day!
Made with Camp coffee, full fat milk and poured over ice.

I love iced coffee and iced tea, both brewed hot and cooled down

No, coffee is drunk hot, either black or with milk.
It doesn't need syrups or flavourings added either.

No. I love hot coffee.

This. What are you doing to make iced coffee with cold water?

I prefer iced coffee. Cold brew is best but will order an iced flat white or iced latte if no cold brew. Even when it's minus degrees outside I'll have a iced coffee in my frostbitten hand!

There's such a thing as cold brew, it's just coffee made with cold water, it takes longer, it doesn't extract certain flavours to the same extent

No, really don't like it. I'm not a great coffee drinker - occasionally a strong black coffee will really hit the spot but otherwise I drink tea.

Nope tried it but can't get on board with them, give me a hot latte any day.

I only really like iced coffee, not a fan of hot. Like other hot drinks like tea/chai etc. though.

The clue is in the name though, as in ICED not just a normal coffee made with cold water (and then drunk straight away rather than deliberate cold brew filtering), no wonder you weren't a fan if that's how you made it, it sounds grim! And as a pp said makes more sense to try it in the summer, half the point is the refreshment of a cold drink.

I prefer iced coffee (made properly) to hot coffee. I particularly like iced coffee with a shot of Khalua in it and cream on top. Roll on Christmas Day.

Exactly this. Every morning for breakfast.

Yes hot coffee poured over ice not the syrupy iced coffees that are often sold

iced tea is vile and I absolutely love tea it’s my favourite drink

Yes I do.

Sometimes.

There are a couple of easy ways to make iced coffee at home. As others have suggested, pour a double espresso over ice and add milk (and syrup if you desire). Or make some cold brew up in advance then just pour that over ice and add a splash of milk (and again syrup if you fancy).

To make cold brew add 5/6 heaped spoons of coffee to a cafetiere, add cold water and pop in the fridge for 24 hours without plunging. After 24 hours plunge the coffee and pour into a clean bottle/jug and will keep in fridge for 3/4 days, then just make as above.

It was a life saver for me a few years ago when I had an awful case of oral thrush. It was the only thing that didn’t feel like drinking teeny tiny knives.

Oat milk too.

Yes I like it, but there is no cold water involved. I make an espresso in the normal way (hot) then pour onto milk and ice.

I love Tim Hortons ice cap made with chocolate milk, but alas... I can
no longer tolerate caffeine.

Real iced coffee isn't just coffee made with cold water . It is more like a coffee milk shake ! I'm in Australia and it's one of the more common drinks here. There are a multitude of different strengths and flavours , sold in the dairy section of the supermarket or the milk bar. I also make my own, with a shot of coffee from the machine mixed with freezing cold milk and a few ice cubes. Yum !
