Quoth Daskinor View PostOne day I had it cold, and forgot to add water when I put it in my thermos. I thought I could see forever.

I switched to making a concentrated cold brew. Better flavor, and its not nearly as acidic.
Its concentrate so I can just mix it with hot water for some hot coffee.

"Give me your PIN number so I can get me some cash money and buy some chai tea and shrimps scampi."
And yes, you've totally lost the war on "nauseous" The first three dictionaries in my quick search all listed "nauseated" or the equivalent as the first definition. At some point, usage wins.

I knew you would know, Pixelated. (And Nunavut Pants is right, it just means "tea.")
One of my besties growing up was Indian, and so I liked chai decades before it was trendy
And yeah, Slave to the Phone, "PIN number" drives me nuts as well. So here's the one sentence calculated to drive me wholly insane:
"Give me your PIN number so I can get me some cash money and buy some chai tea and shrimps scampi."
(Bonus points if you work "nauseous" in there, even though us wordies have lost the war on that one.)

(speaking of which, am I the only one who gets irritated when I hear "chai tea?" It's chai. Chai means "spiced tea.")

Quoth ladyjaneinmd View PostI have a cold brew maker at home, but it's the same strength as the coffee I make hot. It's easier on the stomach when I cold brew, though.
I've also heard that 8 cups of water to 1 pound of coffee is perfect for cold brew. I haven't tried making that much at once, though.

Quoth SteeleDragon78 View Posti guess i skipped a step there. i made that once, and didn't realize you needed to dilute it, granted i like strong coffee. THAT will wake you up quick.

Quoth Mental_Mouse View PostI can be slightly more specific: Take a quart jar. Put in a quarter to a third cup of grounds. Fill with water; close and shake to wet the coffee and get the air out; top off with more water. Leave in fridge for 24-36 hours. (20 hours sounds a bit quick to me). Pour result through filter into another jar. You now have cold-brew concentrate. Mix with 3 parts or more water, according to taste.
Yes, I do that regularly. ;-) This is good for overroasted or lower-quality coffee, as cold-brewing leaves out a lot of the bitterness from such coffees.

Quoth Slave to the Phone View Post(How about Personal IdentyNumber Number? Drives me nuts every time I hear it. Internally only, I certainly don't have enough time in my day to correct everyone who uses it incorrectly. Don't even get me started on decimate.)
