Iced coffee isn't optional in Florida, it's survival. I brew cold brew by the batch so there's always something cold and caffeinated waiting in the fridge before the heat kicks in. Here's the gear that gets me from beans to a perfect glass of iced co...

Where my finished cold brew concentrate lives: a sleek glass pitcher that pours clean and seals tight so nothing picks up fridge smells.
