Is It Iced Coffee Weather?

Hell yes, it's iced coffee weather! Finally. And I've decided that I don't care what the coffee snobs say. Making cold brewed coffee is not significantly better than just brewing an extra strong pot of joe and then throwing it in the fridge. Here's why: A) You can brew a greater quantity of hot coffee. B) Your daily $1.99 iced coffee from the corner coffeeteria is definitely not cold brewed anyway. C) You'll never do a side by side taste test. D) The real key to perfect iced coffee is coffee ice cubes, just as I originally thought in my first iced coffee post.

You know how your iced coffee only tastes good until you're halfway through it, and then it just tastes like coffee flavored water? (Mmmmm. Can I have some more stale ice cubes to melt in my room temperature coffee?) Coffee ice cubes change all that! If anything, your iced coffee gets more intense as you drink it. It's fabulous!

(Sidebar: While enjoying my iced coffee during Breakfast at Wimbledon on Sunday morning, I was completely distracted by the woman in the black and white gingham number seated behind Pete Sampras. Did anyone else notice that her top was unbuttoned, revealing her unmentionables and stomach EVERY time NBC panned to Pete? It was crazy! You think someone could have told her. Or maybe she did it...on purpose?) Update: Check out this YouTube video at 2:48 when the wardrobe malfunction appears.
