    Just an addendum on the molasses mocha -- if you get blackstrap molasses (not regular), it has 1/5 your daily calcium, 1/5 your iron and nearly 1/5 of your potassium in a 42-calorie tablespoon. I'm rather hooked on the stuff myself. I'll take that trade here and there.

    I have a Toddy cold brew system and it makes concentrated coffee. I take the concentrated coffee, add a little water, some almond milk and Torani sugar free hazelnut syrup and it's delicious and way less calories than S'bucks.

    I like to do match the coffee with the same amount of milk and olvaltine chocolate powder and shake it and serve over ice.

    I love coffee of all sorts. I usually order hot because its generally cheaper, but between 3-6 Dunkin Donuts has the $1 any size. My typical order is a large butter pecan with cream and sugar. It's so awful for me, but its sooooo good! I used to drink one or two a day, but now its only a special occasion drink :/

    I love iced coffee too, I like the sugar and fat free cream hazel nut flavor. I am trying the sweetener that Great Value makes. It so so yummy and less than 70 calories. ♥ I simply love it.

    Coming from Seattle, where Starbucks are two to a block I just have to say: NOPE!
    Make my own at home.

    Starbucks iced Americano with room and I add my own sugar and half & half. Unless I'm at Dutch Bros - then it's usually an iced Kicker with 2% and a splash of cream. Good stuff!

    Love Coffee.

    For iced/frappi i now use unsweetened Starbucks coffee concentrate blended with Ice, HWC and Davinci. Slurps.
    Nice that Starbucks released their concentrate as it now makes it more convenient vs creating your own concentrate.

    Usually just coffee and ice -- homemade, Starbuck's, or McD's -- which makes a really good iced coffee, but it usually takes them two tries to understand that "no flavor, no syrup, no sweetener" means "no flavor, no syrup, no sweetener." I can't stand sugar in my coffee, hot or iced. Tastes vile to me. I think I'd rather have salt. If the coffee is weak or way too strong or over-roasted (burned), I'll add cream, milk, or a plain (unsweetened) nondairy "milk" (e.g., soy milk, almond milk.).

    This is me too.

    I think it's funny -- when I order iced black coffee ANYWHERE, they go through a series of 10 questions..."You sure you don't want X, Y, Z..." I swear once the girl offered to give me pumps of all these different flavors like she couldn't bear for me to have black coffee.

    I love iced coffee and I have found a brilliant alternative.

    200ml Cold Water
    Handful of ice
    1 scoop of My Protein Impact Whey Latte flavour.

    Whizz it in the blender.

    I also make it with unsweetened almond milk if I want it a bit creamier.

    It tastes gorgeous :)

    Sbux iced Americano with an extra shot of espresso. Sometimes 1 pump of vanilla. I don't have much luck with DD coffee. Can you also ask for one pump of sweetener?

    gah... me either. sweetener of any kind is a travesty to coffee.

    i'm a dunkies girl and have my local shop well trained... large iced hazelnut, very little ice, 6 creams, no sugar. i walk in, they make my coffee, i pay, i leave. i no longer even have to talk to anyone in the process, which is especially nice because they all understand i'm not human until i've had my coffee.

    and woe to the person who argues with me about how much ice they're putting in. 2" of ice in a large cup is enough to keep it cold, dilute it just that little bit, without ending up with swampwater at the bottom of the cup.

    I'm an Iced Coffee drinker. I make mine at home usually. Tried some here and there out and about but still like my home mixture ;-)

    I make my own - strong coffee, vanilla or hazelnut syrup, splash of milk, loads of ice cubes and put it all in the blender.

    I like it with a bit of milk and Splenda.
    I like Starbucks Iced Caramel Macchiato and it can sub as dessert.
    I also like Nespresso Cafe's iced coffee this month: espresso, a little condensed milk, coconut syrup, frothed milk, grated coconut. Similar to a coconut version of Vietnamese iced coffee.

    I tell them the same thing - Then I say "nothing but coffee and ice in the cup" - I still get a milkshake looking drink 80% of the time - Eastcoast Jim

    I love unsweetened black iced coffee. I cold brew it at home. It really brings out the nuanced flavors of quality coffee. Good stuff.

    Oh my.... Iced Grande Decaf NonFat Mocha no whip from Starbucks.... I could take it by IV. But, alas it pushed me into pre-diabetes so its off the menu. Splenda is nasty tasting stuff so..... the "skinny" version that isn't even sugar free is a no go. Splenda still screws up insulin too. Still haven't found a work around for my mocha craving. :-(

    Any way I can get it! Skinny caramel or hazelnut latte at Starbucks. There's not a Dunkin Donuts near me, so I don't have a regular :(

    I've been in the habit of a Monster Java as a morning pick me up for a few years, but I could no longer justify the price ($-2.50, cals-230), so I've started making my own at home. I freeze coffee in ice cube trays, then brew a small pot of coffee. Right now I'm using Dunkin Dark roast. Chuck a whole tray of coffee cubes into my blender bottle, pour hot cofffee over the top, then top off with sugar/fat free creamer- right now International Delight Caramel Marshmallow. Yumm-o, and I can switch up the grounds and creamer flavors whenever I want a change. Also, cost is WAY better- $<.50, cals 50.

    I do left over regularly brewed coffee, in a glass over ice with 5 drops of English Toffee Stevia and a splash unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk.

    I love cold brewing it at home!

    I just put coffee grounds in cold water in a pitcher with saran wrap cover.
    Let it sit for a day or two.
    Filter into a new pitcher with a mesh strainer.

    little cream and ice = yum

    Most days I will have a Medium Iced Mocha/Caramel Swirl coffee with cream only from Dunkin Donuts. I refuse to give it up so it's gotta fit into my daily goals...
