While from a bean appreciation standpoint, I prefer hot coffee or espresso drinks to iced, all through the sticky New York summer I tend to stick to iced coffee. But when to switch back? This morning in the city, it felt like a hot coffee day, but by 10:00am we were back to iced coffee weather. When I was out in Seattle last week, it was definitely hot coffee weather (in a great coffee city!), but down in New Orleans a few days before, we slurped down the frozen cafe au lait. And in the Bay Area this weekend, I was definitely sticking to the iced... except in San Francisco. It's pretty much always hot coffee weather in San Francisco.

So, quick poll: What are you drinking this morning? Hot coffee or iced? »
