				 Re: Cold 'Brew'? 
 
			
			I've been drinking a local super market's whole bean bulk brand.  Decent selection, reasonably fresh and only $7/lb.
 So, the cold brew in a press.  I used a "Breakfast Blend".  It took some getting used to.  It's thin.  Both in texture and pressence.  I can see how it makes excellent sweetened ice coffee.  I think condensed milk or even just Half-and-Half is all that is needed.
 
 I don't care for the oily head and more noticable particulates.  Nor the way those coat the cup.  It seemed to get more bitter going through the cup.  I drank it with just a little Half-and-Half to make it feel a little more heavy.  I also tried with a mixing it down 1/3 with hot water.
 
 Conclusion:  Great for a less robust, but still tasty cup of coffee.  Would be perfect for hot summer days.  Going back piping hot for the regular morning routine.  Maybe a lighter roast would be better.
