I love coffee! But I take mine iced. Got hooked on iced coffee years ago when I worked in a hot factory while going to college. Now I can't drink the hot stuff, anything more than a shot of expresso goes right through me in a bad way! I make mine in a drip pot the night before and stick it in the frig overnight. Also make coffee ice cubes. I use 8'oclock coffee columbian roast. I take it black.
