Iced Coffee



If it is all explained in the glass of iced coffee 
then I’m again requited; you see back a way, 
& not that far, we played with those ideas on 
how you get th' best flavours out of a freshly 
ground bean. It isn’t as easy as it seems - &, 
altho seeking opinions labels it that complex 
barista-lingua artistry deemed showmanship 
th’ first sip put an end t’ preconceived ideas 

So, we became sort of intrigued as to which 
method gave the best return for the effort; & 
hey, lookee here, its the lo-stress formula for 
hosting flavours undressed in th’ heat effect 
expressions o’ a sanctimonious supremacy, 
a true win-win if you really play it that way 

12 hr soaking of finely ground beans means 
you’ll wait a while for your brew, but if truely 
patient, subtle combination of flavours pays 
th’ dividends you’d see as compensation, & 
there’s no way an espresso-to-go can make 
transcendence to that transmogrification
