Wish List

This afternoon my co-worker and I took what has become our frequent walk over to Starbucks and seeing as how it was a bit later in the afternoon than our usual ventures, it was pretty quiet in the store and we struck up a lovely conversation with our very knowledgeable barista about coffee brewing systems and why venti speciality drinks don't taste right because the espresso to milk ratio is off (that is, unless the venti drink in question is an iced drink, in which case they add and extra shot because the cups are bigger, therefore making the ratio correct).
During our conversation, the friendly barista suggested that with my coffee tastes and my frequent brewing of my own iced coffee at home, that I should look into one of these.
It's the Toddy Cold Brew system and I totally want one! It creates a concentrate that you then add hot (or in my case, ice) water to when you are ready to drink. It's less bitter tasting for the most part and because hot water never actually touches the beans, there is far less acidity in the drink which is ideal for people (such as myself) who have more sensitive stomachs.
I have found a few coffee houses that use cold brewing for their iced coffee and it is indeed far superior to most others. I have considered investing in a cold brew system but always thought that they were too expensive. But, at only $37.50, it's not so far out of my price range after all!
