I called cold brew a gimmick for years, then I tried the method from that shop in Austin

Always thought it was just weak iced coffee for people who didn't know better. My friend made me try the concentrate from Houndstooth Coffee, steeped for 18 hours in their specific recipe. The flavor was shockingly smooth and strong, with zero bitterness even black. Has anyone else had a total 180 on a brewing method they used to hate?

French press coffee used to taste muddy to me until I tried a coarser grind.

Oh wow, that's exactly what happened to me. I always thought that was just how french press coffee tasted, kind of bitter and thick. Switching to a much coarser grind was a total game changer, it's so much cleaner now.
