A cup of ice cool coffee is the ideal beverage for any scorching humid day. The sublime feeling of the bitter velvety liquid lingering in your mouth and down to your throat gives you that heavenly relief that you so desire.

Over the years, the price of ice coffee has gone up quite staggeringly. Several factors have played a part in the inflation such as the increase price of ice cubes, the use of plastic cups to paper cups, the use of straws and the value of coffee shot up since the environmental problems and a coffee fungus that hurt Brazilian crop yields. The price may have escalated over the years but I do not think that coffee drinkers are going to whine too much about it. We are after all salves to our coffee cravings.
