I agree with the part about not pouring hot coffee over ice...the best way to not get a good iced coffee and that is what Starbucks does.
just felt a need to clarify that though Starbucks does pour hot coffee over ice in making iced coffee, it is not the regular brewed coffee. it is a special blend of coffee (altogether different than the Pike Place roast) that is brewed at double strength to compensate for the fact that ice will dilute it further.
Which is good, because in my opinion Pike Place tastes like ass. My nightmare these days is walking into a Sbx when the bold roast is Verona - the only one i like less than PP. Then it's espresso time!
