I anyone else addicted to this like I am? :lol3:

It has a less bitter taste than normal iced coffee. I've started making it at home now. :)

Honestly, no...

The only way I can drink my coffee is HOT!   I drink it more for the caffeine at 4 a.m. than for the taste.  I was drinking gourmet coffee (high end quality beans) years before there was a Starbucks.

Thought strangely, a couple of years ago there was a 'healthy choice' ice cream in the grocery stores that I kind of liked:  coffee mocha.

A couple of years ago, my sister got me making iced coffee out of whatever was left over from the last pot. Our coffee maker has a thermos carafe, so it doesn't get bitter.

I believe coffee should be hot not cold.  I  just can't bring myself  to drink cold coffee. yuck.

My coffee needs to be hot, too....I can't drink cold or iced coffee. Hot and black for me; no flavors, no sugar, no cream. Rick loves iced coffee and we just bought a box of Nantucket Blend Brewed Over Ice kcups for him, largely because he wanted to try it and I had a coupon and it was on sale. He hasn't tried it yet.

I'd tasted some of my father's coffee years before--he drank it black.  Hated it.

Then I decided to have some coffee when I was studying late into the night for exams--I added milk and sugar.  And liked it.

I remember years ago thinking coffee should be hot and tea should be iced (grew up in Texas). But then I discovered iced coffee in the mornings - most mornings it was just too hot for a hot drink. The cool creamy coffee was a nice start to a scorching day. I know there's a practice to drink hot liquids to cool down but it has never worked that way for me! 

I'd chill the coffee and add ice and rice dream. These days I would probably add cream but it's too cold so I need coffee hot here.

yes, this stuff is very good, I agree - My local coffee house calls this "toddy", they told me it has more caffeine than regular brewed, very smooth - I do like to drink it black and chilled - great pick me up in the summer :)
