Newest Drink Obsession

I am hooked on coffee. I can't live without it. I have had different favorites throughout my life. I started drinking coffee when I was 16, and I stopped for a couple of years, then I started again. When I was a senior in high school, I would drink chai lattes, but that would never give me the caffeine that I needed. So I added a shot of espresso. Then, I started to do Americanos, and then I drank double lattes, that turned into triples, and now I'm drinking straight coffee with some kind of flavor. For the longest time, I drank iced coffee with white mocha. It had the perfect level of sugar and cream. I drank it everyday. I become so dependent on coffee that I would get decaf coffee on my days off, so I would avoid getting a headache. I've had french presses, coffeemakers, instant coffee, etc.
I now shy away from the fancy coffee and just drink some drip with a little bit of creamer. But this morning, I made my regular cup in the morning, and decided to put it over ice. It was as if I had found something new again. I came to the point where I would hate drinking hot coffee, but I knew that I needed it. I'm so glad that I did that today, because a light bulb went off in my head. What about cold brew? It was perfect! I could premake my coffee, it won't go bad, and it saves me time in the morning! 

I had to go out and buy a french press as well as a cute pitcher to put all of the coffee in. 
I ended up getting this cute little guy 
and I never thought that pitchers could be as cute as this one!
I had vanilla creamer already. It sucks that Costco only has one flavor of creamer! It's the most cost efficient, but I would love to try cinnamon or hazelnut during the summer time. 

I actually ended up brewing the coffee overnight, last night. I made myself some this morning, and it was nothing short of amazing. My usual coffee won't keep me awake, but this one sure did! It's concentrated with caffeine, but doesn't have the bitter taste. I might just skip the creamer and go to World Market to pick up a bottle of syrup and call it good! 

Another thing that I have recently come across at little coffee bars at home! Here is a gorgeous inspirational picture!
Are you freaking kidding me?? That is the cutest thing that I've ever seen! Here's another one!
Who doesn't want one of these!!! So cute! When we get our own place, I'm considering getting on of these. I've always imagined hosting more gatherings at my home, but we haven't really gotten around to doing that at our current place. If I do find myself hosting quite a bit, I will end up getting a cart like this. 

Let me know if you guys have tried the cold brew method or not. Tell me what you think.
