If you brew it into a carafe, it can last much longer than that. Or if you pour it into a carafe immediately after brewing. It's the cooking on the hotplate and the exposure to air that causes it to loose it's yumminess (ok, not technical but still)<br /> <br />I just read a great tip for making delicious Iced Coffee. <br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/yokp8c<br /><br />You have to read through the article to get to the directions, but it's worth it!

Feel free to ask questions (try when it's not very busy though). Also might ask how long the person's worked there and try to ask someone who's experienced.<br /><br />Do you have suggestions for making cream-based frappucinos?

Honestly, I think better than Starbucks (& that's using the Starbucks syrup). I use the coffee ice cubes and even add a handful of regular ice to make it more frappucino-like. I bought the syrup for something like $6-$7....you'd pay more for just 2 venti-sized drinks at Starbucks! And I found my big can of Folgers (the 2+ lb size) on sale for $2.99! My blender has gotten quite the workout since I discovered Amy's recipe. And this coming from the girl who is not a big coffee drinker.<br /><br />AnneMarie I can vouch for Amy’s iced peppermint mochas….they are AWESOME!

I also love my senseo coffee maker, my french press, and my french coffee ind. cup brewer, and my thermal carafe brewer is great for when you have company over. If you love flavored coffees, like mocha, look at your warehouse store for Big train gourmet coffee mix. It is delish and can be used for hot or cold coffees. Yummy! Also, Big Lots has a large selection of big bottles of flavored coffee syrups, a steal at 1.99 each. I've been paying 5.00 at the whse. store. Hope this helps!<br />Mimi I love coffee, too.
