The only drawback, of course, is when the ice melts and that much-beloved morning treat becomes an unappetizing coffee-water hybrid. Here's a twist on the coffee ice cubes we reminded you to make earlier this summer: Joanne Choi from Week of Menus busted out her cubes and plopped them into a glass of milk.
Both clever and appetizing, each chilly caffeinated cube looks good enough to savor on its own -- a coffee Popsicle, if you will -- but, when lounging in a glass of ice-cold milk, they create a sort of inverse iced coffee. Genius.

To illustrate the point, caffeine addicts have plenty of cold options... and not just cold filtered coffee. Monster drinks, colas, etc., are all immensely loaded with caffeine and are typically served cold. Making this an article about options for "caffeine addicts," rather than coffee fanatics, only dilutes your article.
