Your cold brewing set up is as low tech as the one I used, Jessica. I can't recall it now. I think it was something like
1) put coffee in jar
2) put water in jar
3) wait
4) strain out coffee grounds

I also can definitely taste the difference in cold- vs. hot-brew, but, as noted, the equipment isn't the issue. I just use a plastic pitcher, big filter, and a bowl-sized strainer. All you have to do to cold-brew is dump cold water on top of a cup of grounds, wait 24-48 hours, and strain. Mmmmm, tasty cold coffee..
Yeah, I cold brew in my french press. I will do it on Friday night, and then I have nice iced coffee for me when I come back from the farmer's market on a warm sunday morning!

Huh.

failed to taste the difference between that and sticking the last of the hot pot in the fridge.
That's exactly what I do. Or, if there isn't any coffee left due to the coffee glutton that I live with, I brew ~2 mugs' worth, put it in a big ass travel mug, and put the mug in the fridge overnight.

I love cold coffee. But it has to be cold FRESH coffee; coffee that's been allowed to oxidize is just as appealing as a bowl of applesauce that's been allowed to sit on the counter overnight.
Bleah.

Number of guys today who thought I'm religious, despite a very obvious cleavage: 2.
One, who sat next to me on the bus, offered me his copy of The Prayer of the Road. I thought it was cute. Like the time Nilly's brother thought, Lord knows why, I'm Shomeret Negyia (for non-Jews: [link] ).
Gotta be something in the air.
Also? DO NOT WANNA STUDY AND KINDDA HAVE TO. Linear regression is not a friend.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Linear regression is not a friend.
Well, it's more friendly than polynomial regression.
