Do any of you coffee lovers know a good way to make iced coffee?
Or any of you like Chicory blends and have some to suggest? I've figured out what i like…Use a cold extraction method to brew your iced coffee, as opposed to a hot brew, then icing that. It lessens the bitterness and you get a taste more true of the coffee your using because you do not have to use very much cream and sugar. Also, it's a little hard to get, but coffee from Cuba is the shit, IMO.

toddy makes pretty good cold brew equipment

I must confess I'm not a big coffee drinker, but my other half is a Barista Maestro for Costa. I tried to get her some of this for fun, but the postage was insane for the UK:
Grey Dog's Coffee

if she's a barista - buy her some raw denim. I love the used jeans from baristas, the get such a nice dirty look. See e.g. on context clothing.

She'd love some for work, but sadly they have to wear all black and no jeans. Savages…

The Self Edge Passion #1 - Coffee
All of our employees and managers across our three stores have many passions in common. One of those is coffee.
We love the idea behind the process and ritual behind the making and drinking of an espresso or coffee of any kind.
There is a coffee outfit in New York City by the name of The Coffee Foundry which we've been quite impressed by.Run by two guys from Brooklyn, they roast beans in their back yard then serve their coffee in multiple variations from espresso to single cup pour-overs in their West Village cafe. We don't just love them because they wear our jeans, they make some of the most soulful coffee you've ever tasted.
From single plantation beans to timing your every espresso pull, this is what coffee is and these guys Do It Street.

i must admit when i first saw this advertised on se i thought wtf but then one day while i was taking my mom out she suggested we get coffee, something we havent done in years. this being the perfect excuse to try this place out; i suggested it and we went. and i must say the san ignacio slow drip that they have there is without a drop some of the best coffee ive had in years. definitely going back to get another cup when i am around the area.

I'm such a junkie I bought a Gaggia Cubika for work:

Woe betide anyone who uses my Illy and doesnt buy more…..........

single origin coffees are real good but idk if they're enough to warrant the price if you're not extracting via espresso…
