I re-tried your thing the other day, letting the coffee cool (and even putting it in the fridge) before adding the ice. It was good quality coffee (freshly made Douwe Egberts filter), but it still didn't taste v. good to me.
I think I prefer those chilled "coffee flavoured" milk drinks in cans you get.

I think there's a big difference in our coffee's too. I remember the first time I got a cup of coffee over in Germany, it was this little mini-cup, 1/4 filled. My response was "What the fuck am I supposed to do with this?!". A few cups later, and I realised how potent the stuff was.
Our coffee here just can't hold a candle to it.

get yourself a greek coffee set, you will love yourself for it.
and youll be free of shitty 7-11 coffee. seriously, if youre going to do cheap coffee, at least get dunkin' donuts.

They just did a "survey" throughout NYC, taste-tested people on the street... Here's how they stacked up from good to worse:
McDonalds (wtf right?) Dunkin Donuts Burger King Starbucks (I think that's pure diluted-shit-water)

Hah. That's Turkish coffee :) I had a lot of that when I visited Turkey. Strong as hell but very sweet. It's like you get your daily dose og caffeine and sugar in one mouthful of coffee. I don't understand how people can buy their coffe at McD.

Turkish coffee (and indeed, Turkish hot drinks in general) is great. There used to be a little turkish eatery near me and I really liked the huge array of teas and coffees available (there were about 50-60 different sorts). I never had an unpleasent one.
As to coffee available in McDonalds, etc. the only mainstream coffee store drink I really like is Nero's Chai Steamer.
As an aside, you know that "stupid" case involving the woman getting big bucks compensation from MCDonalds for burning herself with coffee? I was discussing the finer points (which of course, weren't reported) of the case with a lawyer and the ruling wasn't so stupid after all, in fact, I'd go so far as to say it was just.
