not to say it's too hot for hot coffee but iced is a nice break from hot in the summer. in the summer i just want to drink something cold and drink it quickly. hot coffee/beverages in general can be a bit of a chore in the summer

most places make horrible iced anyway. you have to brew it much more strongly than regular and most places just take their regular hot coffee when it's gone cool and use it for iced. that's bullshit
