Does anyone know how to get decent iced coffee that's smooth like cold brew from drip? I don't have the space or patience for cold brew?

The problem with iced drip coffee is the time needed for cooling. Coffee gets bitter the longer it is contact with oxygen, so you need to get the hot drip coffee cold immediately after brewing without watering it down. I suggest that you brew your drip coffee and then freeze some of it into ice cubes for later use.As soon as the cubes freeze, empty them into a ziplock bag, squeeze all of the air out and keep it in the freezer for next time.

(Don't leave them in the trays to get stale in biter). When next make drip coffee do what you can to rapidly cool it. Pour into a large chilled stainless still pitcher and swirl it around.

Stick the pitcher in a large pan of cold water and alternately stir the coffee and the water to rapidly cool it off. (If you just dump hot coffee over ice, the ice melts and dilutes the coffee). When the coffee cools from hot to slightly warm, you can probably stop.

Fill a glass to the top with a mixture of regular iced cubes and your frozen coffee cubes. Pour the luke-warm fresh coffee over it.It won't be a smooth as cold brew, but it is a lot better than brewing drip coffee and letting it sit until it cools off on its own (or heaven forbid, better than dumping the morning's stale leftover coffee onto ice in the afternoon).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
