“I love coffee, but I only drink cold coffee”
I see this comment about 5 times a day on social media. The fact is, if you only like overly sweet, sugared, flavored, cold coffee, then spoiler alert, YOU DON’T LIKE COFFEE.
Coffee by nature is very bitter, and every blend has their own unique taste and is best when brewed hot. So when you drink a cup, and you taste that bitter flavor and think “wow, this is gross” then YOU DON’T LIKE COFFEE.
All these iced, sugar filled drinks are simply just a shell of what coffee once was.
Now, I’m not saying that I don’t enjoy these drink, or that you shouldn’t because they are good, but you should realize that your love for these beverages is not a love of coffee but a love of a sweet, syrupy drink with some caffeine sprinkled in.
If you need these “coffee” drinks to get you through the day, please drink away, just know that coffee is not “your life”, you actually hate it.
