I used to think cold brew was just weak iced coffee

Last week at a cafe in Boise, the barista, Sam, explained how their 18-hour cold brew process pulls out different flavors. I tried a cup of their single-origin Ethiopian batch and it was so smooth, not bitter at all. Has anyone else had a cold brew that totally changed their mind?

Yeah, the "not bitter at all" part is the real game changer. I was the same way, thought it was just bad coffee served cold. Then a friend basically forced me to try a good one. It's a totally different drink. The cheap stuff from a gas station will ruin the idea for anyone.

Oh come on, gas station cold brew is a classic! That bitter, kinda burnt taste is part of the whole experience. It's like a cheap diner coffee, it has its own weird charm. Honestly, sometimes a fancy smooth one just feels like you're drinking fancy water. The rough edges make it feel more real, you know?
