OK, here's some preliminary results:
Dan's Cold Brew and a couple snips from their page:
Dan's Cold Brew is the newest, most exciting coffee product on the market today. It is a cold coffee concentrate produced from freshly roasted gourmet coffee beans. The coffee is cold brewed using a cold water brewing process developed and perfected by Poverty Bay Coffee Company. There are no additives or preservatives. Once roasted, the coffee never again touches heat. Dan's is a pure coffee concentrate.
This product's signature trait is its versatility. While its main use is as a coffee base for iced lattes, mochas, frappachinos, granitas and other specialty iced coffee concoctions, what makes Dan's truly "A Shot of Versatility" is that its use extends beyond an iced coffee drink. To use a little computer jargon, Dan's Cold Brew is a multitasker. Drink it hot. Use it in desserts. Use it in sauces. Drink it strait. Drink it in a latte. Add a little Amaretto. Dan's Cold Brew meets the versatility test.
Of interest regarding senna's complaint of stomach probs is: All the caffeine with less than half the acids.
Up next we have
Toddy Coffee Maker. I'm pretty sure this is what the guy that hooked me up with the cold concentrate before was using. Here's a pertinent snip:
Doctors recommend Toddy Coffee for sensitive stomachs. Cold water brewing extracts the desirable flavor elements, but leaves behind many of the undesirable acids found in hot brewed coffee. Independent lab tests show hot brewed coffee has 3 to 4 times more acid than cold brewed coffee. Cold brewed coffee tastes smoother and is easier on the stomach. Doctors have recommended Toddy coffee to their patients who are sensitive to the acid in hot brewed coffee.
The coffee maker itself is US$30. Info on replacement filters etc. is on their Order on-Line page.
Lastly, some inspiration:
Toddy Coffee Liqueur... For 16 Servings
1-cup Toddy Coffee Concentrate
1-cup 190 proof grain alcohol (vodka may be substituted)
3/4-cup filtered honey
1/4-cup water
Combine all ingredients, stir well.
Of course, I live in a roadkill conservative state that doesn't even sell grain alcohol anymore after some idiot college kids drank themselves to death on it about 15 years ago. Great way to clean out the gene pool if you ask me but I digress.
Quad-shot cappuchino here I come!!
