Remember when cold brew was just weird iced coffee?

I used to laugh at the idea of cold brew, thinking it was just a fancy name for old coffee left in the fridge. A friend in Seattle made a batch for me about two years ago, and I was shocked. It wasn't bitter at all, just smooth and strong. I started making my own with a cheap mason jar and a filter, letting it sit for a full 18 hours. The difference in taste from my old quick-chilled pot was huge. Now I can't go back to regular iced coffee in the summer. It's a simple change, but it made me realize some trends actually have a point. Anyone else have a coffee method they hated at first but now can't live without?

Cold brew totally won me over too.

Right? It's so much smoother than regular iced coffee. I started making my own at home, it's way cheaper too.
