Ice or Energy coffee anyone?

[stevej37]

Normal coffee drinker here, until a few years back and discovered I liked iced coffee more.
Bought an ice coffee maker and drank that for a couple years.

Now, I've found out that I like this stuff over all...I think I'm addicted. It's delicious.

Walmart and Meijers carry it for about $3 each.

I have an espresso every morning from my maker at home. When traveling and can't get that, I opt for the cold espresso mini cans or an iced mocca bottle from Strabucks in most 7-Eleven type places. Regular coffee just doesn't have enough juice to jump start my day.

[stevej37]

I take one the Super Coffees and pour half of it over ice in a coffee cup.
It's the perfect amount and with the caffeine in it, it's better than a whole cup of coffee.

Cap it and back into the fridge for the next day.

I make far better iced coffee than I have ever purchased, same thing with fruit smoothies.

I like the iced coffees that you get in Thailand and Vietnam, but I seldom drink them as they are too sweet and I like to cut back on sugar whenever possible.

Can’t say I’ve ever bought one in a can and probably wouldn’t. I also don’t buy any of the sugary crap served by places like Starbucks.

[stevej37]

These Super Coffees have 0 grams added sugar....70 calories per bottle.

"How are your products sweetened?
Our products are sweetened with a proprietary blend of Stevia + Monk fruit! Monk fruit is a superfood, and naturally occurring sweetener �� It derives its sweetness from a naturally formed antioxidant…"

[javadog]

I’m sure they’re relatively healthy, compared to the products of the past, until they figure out the latest greatest sweetener isn’t good for you either.

Mainly though, I just don’t like things that are too sweet anymore.

I did like Hershey’s chocolate milk back in the day but I probably haven’t drank one in 20 years.

[stevej37]

^^^ That's why I limit myself to half a bottle at most per day.
Not worried about that small of an amount.

[stevej37]

My favorite is the vanilla latte.....never been a big chocolate fan.

[stevej37]

This is the one I used earlier. Does a good job, but just a coffee flavor....no sweetener.

I used to never drink coffee until I discovered Iced coffee. I actually made iced coffee back in the late 80s when I worked a a Pizza Hut but never drank it on a regular basis.
Now, oh man I love the stuff. I just use dark roast instant coffee from Kroger and make it like you normally would, hot in a cup. Then I add the creamer. Hazelnut, or French vanilla, my favorite is called Butter Cookie but I cannot find it anywhere. I did find some Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie that was fantastic. I use about 5 tablespoons or more of creamer, yeah, very light in color. I pack a tall mason jar glass with ice and pour in my concoction and it is oh so good!!!
When my daughter makes me an iced coffee, she puts whipped cream on top and a caramel drizzle and adds a straw!!!

Just suck that caffeine down to pump that BP up..Oh they say it wears off in a coupla hours...but it don't you bin dogged agin laddy...it takes 3 to 4 days to wash the juice outa your system...meanwhile your heart is jis pumpin away like mad.

The other of course is processed meats like a nice big ole slice of Ham...nothin better than a VA baked ham or some fried bacon in the morning. .nice and full of salt and grease to sit in your intestine for 5 or 6 days while your body processes it..that's why it is called processed meat.. Meanwhile your body retains a whole bunch of water and gets sluggish to do the processin. Which causes the BP to go way up... and stay there until the processin is done, the water is removed and the product is extruded from from yer azz hard as a brick. Those are sum hard loaves to pinch out.

Excellent!

Cold or iced coffee has more flavor..imo
Flavoring such as 'skinny syrups' can be added with no sugar.

Is it worse than an espresso machine?
I like the jumpin and pumpin.

Another fine product brought to you by Whirlpool.

[stevej37]

^^^ They do a fine job...American built.

With your own machine you have more control over the product..you use your own ingredients in the amounts you want.

My fav bean of all time was a dark roasted Yemen bean...it was so strong that I used to call it mud coffee...stick you spoon in the cup for to long and it would corrode the spoon...

But after awhile it tasted just dam gud....but alas you can't get them anymore cause of a war goin on there.

A Yemeni expat was starting to import them again at a high price awhile back..but I don't know what happened to his endeavor.

[stevej37]

My mornings are...'find some caffeine with a good flavor quick'
I don't have the machine or the 'know how' to make a great coffee.
So..the store bought 'super coffees' are a fit for me.

[javadog]

Buy a $29 Mr. Coffee, a bag of coffee grounds and some filters and have it.

Rocket science, it ain’t.

[stevej37]

^^^ That's exactly what I have. I think it's a 5 cupper.

The Super Coffees are a lot better tasting.
