Back in the day, I seriously would brew hot coffee in the morning, and then dump it over a tumbler of ice to cool down (thus diluting it, which was NOT my goal), and then dumping the cool coffee over another tumbler of ice so I could have iced coffee, not tepid coffee. I grumbled about it, and I'm pretty sure it was a Buffista who said, just brew it the night before and set the carafe in the fridge. And it was like turning lead into gold, ISTG. I would never have thought of that on my own, because I have hilarious gaps in common sense.

Making coffee at night stills feels funny sometimes, though, right?

It totally does.

That's why I like cold brew, because it's concentrated so adding ice or cream or both just makes it regular coffee strength (not to mention that I make one batch with 12 oz of coffee grounds and it lasts me for a good couple-three weeks (or, even lazier, buying Trader Joe's bottles of cold-brewed coffee, which I think last even longer)). And making it into popsicles tastes fantastic. I don't know if I have bothered making iced coffee since trying popsicles.

Although I also love my Aeropress and my various french presses and will occasionally whip out the stovetop espresso machine or moka coffee maker. And there's Turkish coffee, which is good times.

I like coffee.

And didn't read the article. So possibly not actually on topic.

Those TJs bottles are awesome. I need to remember to stock up. I use them for first hot cup of coffee in the morning sometimes if I don't have the energy to fresh brew right away.

Stumptown cold brew has ruined me for all other bottled cold brew coffee. Which is a shame, because the TJs bottles are a better deal.

... Now I want cold coffee. I blame you people.

I haven't even tried Stumptown cold brew! It's been a goodly while since I've been to Portland and done the Stumptown pilgrimage...

Yeah, for the coffee you need in your system before you are safe to make coffee, they are fantastic.

Coffee: Incredibly difficult to brew correctly, and even if you do it's still pretty crappy.

Go team tea!

I find tea to be more finicky to brew what with the different temperatures for different types. But both are delicious and have their places in my daily beverage consumption.

If a relatively distant family member references John Gault (sic) in a reply to a FB post about raising the minimum wage, it's totally acceptable for me to beat the shit out of him, right? Metaphorically speaking.
