Just finishing that vital first cup. Not iced coffee mind you. I don’t like it. However, BITD when I was milking cows on a big farm near here, temperatures got down to 40 below zero F pretty often. Thick sheets of ice formed on the milking parlor walls that we couldn’t get rid of until temperatures moderated. I got used to cold coffee. We all kept our cups thereof on the green metal shelf near the steps to the pit and it didn’t stay warm long.
Our house is warmer than the milking parlor was back then, but not as much warmer as I might like it to be. However, I don’t mind the chilly brew.
It does the job.
