I was a coffee slave for 8yrs of my life working at Starbucks, and I enjoyed it either way!. But now, I just drink it for the caffeine, and so I'll get a cup, ise it and chug it down like a beer!.

I'll go with Nature!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have also drank cold coffee a couple of times, and the taste has been the same, just that I prefer it piping hot, strong, with milk and sugar!. The milk has to be hot too!. There are certain foods that we are used to have it one way, like a cold coke, a cold glass of milk, hot soup, etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i drink my coffee iced!. i used to work as a barista and our iced drinks were made with cold shots!. we used a process called slow-brew!. we brewed the espresso with tap water and brewed over a 12 hour period!. the result a less acidic taste and the "bite' of a hot shot was gone!. iced coffee drinks made with hot shots taste weird to me!. there's a bitter element to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's all what you're used to!. I drink my coffee black!. I didn't even like it when I first started, but I was 14 and my boss was the epidomy of "cool"!. He drank his black and I wanted to be like him!. I got used to it!.

Maybe even worse was when I kicked my alcoholism!. I had to stop putting Sambuca in it!. First time I did that I shuddered to my very toes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nature!. My mom is a black coffee whore but I barely drink the stuff and when I do it's loaded with cream and sweetener!.

I'll usually take the nature side of any debate though!. That DNA is powerful stuff!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nature!. I like it iced, but it has to be pimped out with vanilla flavoring syrup and whipped cream before it tastes good to me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
