I made my own iced coffee at work

Oh well, you know these weeks the weather is well over 90 degrees or above, and it is just super hot out there. At work, although we have air conditioner, we still feel so lazy during such humid and hot weather. Usually in the morning, I would like a cup of coffee from this coffee vending machine. I usually get one of those black coffee with milk, but it is always hot to take a sip. Today I had whim, I just want an iced coffee, but how do I make one for myself. I saw the refrigerator, and the ice maker on the side. Why not I dispense some of those crushed ice and mixed in my coffee. Not so bad after all. I can still have some sugar on it, and the coffee certainly cold. It is easy to sip too. I might do it again tomorrow.

Hi. kingparker. Good for you! I hope that you will be able to enjoy your cold iced coffee at work too. I am glad that you have made something that will keep you cool and refreshed. I love iced coffee and it is very delicious when it is drunk on a very hot and humid day.

I have never tried iced coffee before. I like to drink mine hot. I have drank it when it cooled off though. I am not much on cold coffee. I rather mine hot, but that is just me.

Hi there King Parker! That's great! I always wish I can have iced coffee when I feel sleepy in school. Usually, the weather's too hot to have a hot cup. It's nice that you have a ref with ice maker in your office. As of now, I'd have to settle for coffee candies when I get sleepy.

I'm not really fond of coffee but I know more and more people can't live without it. I guess you have a great idea there, why drink coffee that's hot if it's already hot and humid, right? Through that idea, you could enjoy your coffee at the same time keep yourself fresh and cool amidst the humidity. Same goes here, it's really humid these days and sometimes I'm frustrated for needing to go out of the house into the sun because of my job. Sometimes I wished that I could only work from home the whole time so that I won't mind the sun nor the rain. You see, in our region right now, it's super hot days and rainy afternoons! With this type of weather, we're bound to have flu or cold strikes once again. I'm just happy that even if it's hot in the mornings, we do have cool nights, which is great since it would certainly be something uncomfortable if it's humid during sleep time. You could also try pouring some coffee and leaving it on the freezer for a few minutes until it's about to turn to ice, that's a great alternative too, coffee shake! hehehee.. Have a great MyLot experience ahead!
