I am addicted to cool brew coffee concentrate. it comes in diff flavors and is not acidic... makes the best iced coffee and sometimes i dont even put splenda in it.

I was going to order some, but haven't yet. Are you drinking it just cold or hot too? I wanted to use it in iced coffee.

I bet you'll like it so much that you should just use a toddy to make your own...it's more cost effective over the long-term, and you can make whatever flavor you want.

OH, here's a tip on the toddy....Be sure to grind the beans COARSE or else they will clog up the filter.

I might go the Toddy route. The shipping on the cool brew is alot because they have to ship it quick so at least UPS Blue (2 day).

I have been drinking it cold.... but tried it once hot.. however I am in Vegas.. the cold was far better..lol

I have the Toddy on order.

I think DD beats Timmy Ho's both in taste and value. You can get a large DD for the same price as a medium Ho.

I think DD's are stronger than Ho's too.

Right now I am drinking a blueberry DD with Splenda and vanilla almond milk (I add the almond milk myself).

Over the weekend I did have a Strawberry Shortcake Ho that was pretty good, and also a Mint Ho that I then added some carob powder to making it a mint chocolate Ho. Yesterday I tried the Pumpkin Spice Ho but wasn't impressed. (Splenda & almond milk added to all of them)

And that is my DD and Ho review!!

Ah... but Timmy Ho's has benefits and perks that DD does not...

Where else can you Roll Up the Rim To Win...

I've used the Toddy for years and can give you some tips when you get it.
The biggest thing is to make sure you do Coarse Grind if you get your own beans.

You will love it!

I didn't think I'd come back on your website but I had to (I've been playing Scrabble and netchatting with all sorts of extremely wordy people...

Plus having my bathroom and kitchen redone.

But this thread, which was I think, the last one I posted on, is bugging me.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW COME A WEBBLOG FULL OF SUPPOSEDLY HEALTH CONSCIOUS PEOPLE IN THE WORLD'S RICHEST COUNTRY THINK COFFEE COMES IN A JAR OR A CAN.

THEN YOU PUT SLENDA CHEMICALS AND FAKE MILK AND PERHAPS SOME e FLAVOURS & colors IN IT & AN ICE CUBE OR TWO AND THEN ACTUALLY IMBIBE THAT CRAP ?

xxxLinda · « **Reply #98 on:** September 06, 2007, 09:35:04 AM »

ok so coffee is somewhat addictive.

It's always been my favourite morning drug & I make sure to get my quota. But you buy the freshly roasted Colombian or Java beans, grind them then pour near-not-quite-on-the-boil water over them (unless you're making expresso or have a cafetiere).

then real milk (from a cow? or better still, cream) and real sugar (preferably dark organic) to taste.

sugar is 16 calories a teaspoon, so you can have one or even two in your big mug of coffee. milk is good for your bones, calcium, and you should use the full fat best you can get version.

Few dollars a week at home, first thing in the morning.

I learnt it in NY, they called it a whore's breakfast

Coffee & splenda is not bad for you. Who told you this mis-information?
