      sort of yes. you take the canister and line it with the plastic bag. then you fill it (about half) with ice, and put it under the brewer. The coffee is brewed 2x as strong so when the ice dilutes it is … not actually diluted.

      Cold brew is coffee pouches put in the same plastic lined container, and stored in the fridge overnight.

      I drink Iced Americanos (a spoiled one I am). They brew a double shot of espresso into a metal canister, and pour it over 3/4 full cup of Ice, and add water to fill.

      I dont really care for dunkins Iced coffee, but it is not that gross to make it really. The dairy cream/milk machines helped me go vegan though, they are… so nasty. We clean them, but, ew. You can pull my iced Americano from my cold dead hands though, and not a moment before.

      edit,

      read a bit of the article. The amount of sugar in some of the beverages people would order was/is levels that are, objectivly, gross and dangerously unhealthy.

      A lady one time came in an ordered a medium ice coffee, with carmel, sugar, and cream, but she wanted 8/8/8. 8 carmel pumps, 8 sugars, 8 cream. Standard for a medium is 3.

      there was no room in the cup for coffee, we handed this “coffee” out, with no coffee in the cup. I will never forget it.

      Some of the specialty drinks… are just pure sugar loaded ontop of more sugar. ( btw swirls already have sugar, and some even have dairy, why do people add more on top?) but this regular fella was coming in every morning, for weeks, and ordering a drink and food, The total calories were a whopping 1400, just for breakfast, and I forget how much exactly, but his meal was over 100g of sugar. I calculated it out of disgust one day. I dont know how he was able to eat/drink that everyday. I remember he always got whip cream and both drizzles, and cookie crumbles, and then food on top of this outright bizarre dessert drink. 1400 calories at 9am. my god.

      one lady would order a latte with uh, cream. like, large hot latte (just a double shot of esspresso, usually with milk added) but she wanted cream. nothing like drinking a pint of heavy cream first thing in the morning eh?

      but, just like, educate people on sugar. this admin cant be fuckin trusted. like others have said, they probably just want a payout.
