I merely spoke about what I knew from experience. However I can't say I'm surprised that Starbucks was vilified in that link. Any company that receives the huge amount of bad press as it does brings to mind the old saw 'where there's smoke, there's fire'. mubbs -

When making ice coffee they DO double brew it, so the coffee is twice as strong. Then they put it in a separate container to cool off some, and then only add the ice right before serving so as to keep the gross watering down affect to a minimum. I make mine the same way at home, its ever so much better then a regular pot of coffee put in the fridge until later. Having worked at quite a few Dunkin’s, I give a nod to Patrick above.

That would be the reason for the higher price. I do belive they generally double brew the coffee so that the ice will not make it to diluted. That would be the reason for the higher price.

If one is willing to pay twice for a cold coffee, they will get it from him. It is explained in “the undercover economist”

Cold brewed coffee can take considerably longer than hot coffee to make, tying up their equipment longer for a smaller yield. If they're just pouring hot drip coffee over ice, then you're getting a lower quality product AND paying too much. I wonder how they make it.

I love dramatic food moments - when I was little My mom took me to TCBY and I wanted white chocolate mouse yogurt with sprinkles in a cone, but TCBY said they could not put sprinkles on a cone, only if you ordered a cup, so my mom got so pissed off she asked for a cup of sprinkles on the side and then proceeded to pour the sprinkles on top of the cone in front of everyone to make a point and then said WAS THAT SO HARD! At the time I was mortified but looking back it's hysterical! OMG PLEASE ask for the cup of ice water and dump out the water and pour the coffee over ice just to make a point!!!
