    The intrusive whisper fascinates me

    McDonald’s black coffee is actually pretty good. I like their iced coffee and their cold brew. But I can only get it black. The coffee drinks are way too sugary otherwise

    Ah, they might not make it anymore then. But it was good while they had it

    I’m normally a cold brew/latte person when I’m not drinking black coffee, but in the airport the other day I was in a hurry and hungry, so I got breakfast and flavored iced coffee from Chick-fil-A, and my goodness, that was unbearably sugary.

    Nah, cold brew is really good. I make my own in the summertime and drink it black. The only cold drink I like with any consistency when I’m out and about is Starbucks vanilla sweet cream cold brew. Been my go to from them for years. I only get it a few times a year these days, but it still hits when I do get it.

    Yeah cold brew is my favorite coffee, period. I have one of those big, one-gallon cold brew jars. I make a big batch every weekend so I have enough to bring to work with me during the week

    I also have a smaller-size one that I use to make batches of decaf cold brew so I can have some at night too!

  10. I prefer iced these days but regularly have homemade cold brew concentrate on hand for when I don’t have time for an iced pourover. It’s easy for me to overdo it on cold brew and that caffeine catches up to me and spikes my anxiety levels.

    I wish I liked ice coffee. But alas, I'll drink a hot coffee on a 90 degree day

    See, I’m the opposite. I’ll drink a cold brew if it’s like, 40 out lol

    In Massachusetts, I will gladly grab a $1 iced coffee on hot days, and during the winter, sure, Ill graba $1 hot coffee (both black).

    Im not picky though, as I will pay less for the cofee, then go to starbucks or dunkins, if alone. My youngest will stop and mcds for $1 coffee though, as shes cheap :)

    I'm still cold brew over everything else tbh. I can make my crappy/cheap grocery store coffee taste pretty dang good with barely any effort. Key ingredient for me is half a stick of good cinnamon while it steeps overnight.

    chicory is another spice you can add to cold brew for jazzing it up
