Cold brew is supposed to be less acidic.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have a rumble jar but it is still in the packaging. I hardly make my own coffee lately, I pretty much only drink it at the office and I figure I might as well drink the stuff they provide.
Give me that french dessert with espresso poured over vanilla all day though.
Affogato? I though that was Italian. It's freaking delicious wherever it comes from. But coffee ice cream is also delicious. As are chocolate covered espresso beans. And just the other day I was finishing off the half cup of coffee leftover from the morning that had been sitting on my desk for several hours and it was particularly delicious, also. So, you know, coffee=yum.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cold brew definitely tastes less acidic or bitter or something, which is why I like it less! (Which is weird, given that I put milk and sugar in.)
WTF Is Up With People Drinking Iced Coffee In Freezing Weather?
The person with the Dunks in the snow with no gloves is definitely from MA or RI.
Now I want a coffee frappe.

Jess, how much coffee does the rumble jar net you? It's a 32 ounce jar obviously but do you dilute it? (We have a ten-cup machine - which I think is 60 ounces not 80 thought - and drink the whole pot every morning, so I'm wondering what would work for us.)

So, the mandatory fun is a little too free form to hold my attention for 2.5 hours. My lunch was good, but the people who got gyros thought their servings were half what they should be. They let us know before hand that the only provided drinks would be water and Gatorade so I went to buy a coke from the machine and the machine is out of order! Bah.

Someday I will be a real grownup and be able to drink coffee. Supertasting is supposed to fade as you grow older (taste buds die off, seriously) but it sure hasn't happened to me yet.

Hey. New board.
Yes affogato wrong country. Sorry Italy.
I think cold brew is easier on my stomach because of the acid, but the caffeine is higher. Depends I guess.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I don't like coffee in any form, either.

I don't dilute it other than adding ice, and for us, 1 jar yields 3-4 servings poured over ice into a lowball glass. Diluted, it would probably work out to the same number of servings, but less strong coffee. (I considered buying the gallon version because the other nice thing about cold brew is it doesn't go stale as fast as standard coffee, but see above re: too many coffee makers.)

Really??? There's hope!
The company brought in cookie-store cookies, and my nerdy compatriots are going nuts. They're so young and adorable. "Dude! There's chocolate inside the chocolate chip cookies! I love these cookies!" "Dude, that's the Nutella, they're Nutella cookies." "Dude!" I'm glad I've got a new crop of young unmarried nerds around me, they're like puppies. And I'm firmly in the Mom spectrum with them, with added cool points for understanding nerdy jokes.
