You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

In RI and parts of MA people drink iced coffee all year long.

So annoying to have to specify "hot" coffee at Dunkies. Grump.

OTOH, coffee milk is da bomb. When I taught there back in the '70s, CCRI's cafeteria had a coffee milk dispenser right next to the chocolate milk dispenser. Instant mocha milk.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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?

I'm lazy as hell, so I just brew it in the evening and stick it in the fridge. I drink my coffee (hot and cold) with half and half, so I'm guessing cold brew isn't worth the effort.

Punishingly Intricate

DD's iced Americano is shockingly good.

Yeah, I can totally see if I was drinking it black I might care.

And the one time I tried coffee milk (while my brother in law was living in Rhode Island I insisted we try) it was...odd. Not my jam, but I was like "if I'd grown up with this I could see how I'd want it and have a hard time getting that specific taste anywhere else"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm lazy as hell, so I just brew it in the evening and stick it in the fridge.

I use one of these and the only hard part is remembering to fill it up the morning before. (That, and remembering to go to the coffee shop to buy the right beans, because I am a grade-A snob when it comes to coffee and use separate beans for espresso, cold brew, and French press.)

I really want a home nitro cold brew keg but I can't justify the cost or the counter-space. I have, at last count, either 4 or 9 ways to make coffee at home depending on whether you count the French presses or cone filters grouped or individually. (But I really really really want it. I looooove nitro coffee.)

I mean....maybe you could keep it at your office, Jessica? If you love nitro cold brew....:)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

the gratitude I inspire in my customers will become a department story.

You will become a legend!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I keep wondering if cold brew will be easier on my stomach. I haven't been able to drink coffee since I had my gallbladder surgery.

I love coffee, but the acid and caffeine really get to my stomach. Is cold brew better/worse for those of us who have "sensitive stomachs"?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Cold brew is supposed to be less acidic.
