As you know Bob, my mother is from Rhode Island, and I grew up drinking coffee milk -- with or without Autocrat (without, it was just a quarter coffee/three-quarters milk).

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When did you start drinking it?
At least 20 years ago. I mean, I just made it at home. I don't really remember the first time I got it in a Starbucks or other coffee place.
Beverages are like revenge; best served cold.
Even in Florida I drink hot coffee and tea. I like hot drinks, and food for that matter. Make soup 12 months a year.
I think my first encounter with the concept of iced coffee was a Vietnamese restaurant
In RI and parts of MA people drink iced coffee all year long.
Real coffee lovers sip it at room temperature a teaspoon at a time, aspirating each mouthful to fully experience the flavor.
Just sayin
I used to only drink iced coffee in summer, starting maybe 20 years ago, but I've been drinking it year round pretty consistently for 12 or do years.
I prefer both coffee and tea iced and unsweetened, but I need some sort of milk product in my coffee.
Huh. I drink iced coffee in the summer, even though half (most?) the time in Seattle summer it's not really warm enough to be drinking it. Or if it's actually hot out, no matter what the season (um, that would be somewhere other than Seattle, though).
The thing I don't get is the fetishization of "cold brew". Like...it's not that fancy (why are you charging so much extra??), and also I don't really care if it's cold brew or just regular brew that you stuck in the fridge? They may taste different (I recall reading an article where someone tested that) but generally I'm putting cream and sugar in, and not super noticing the difference.
