    Ok @Lepton1 we need to talk. Up until an hour ago my feelings for cold coffee were pretty well set in stone...didn't care for it to put it nicely.

    Well I'm at the Iowa 80 and after dinner I strolled by Caribou Coffee and decided what the hell, he's given some pretty good advice, ill give it a try.

    That was some awesome coffee. Now I've got a problem...not a lot of Caribous around truck stops.

    Long day. Good day. 653 miles and an early pull in to get a new cb. Stryker 655hp and boy is it a boatload of fun. A little bit complex compared to what I'm used to but I'm sorting it out. Going to hammer it tomorrow and get on down the road.

    More later...

    Had a great week. Made it home early afternoon. Loaded for Riverside and scheduled return load. Will roll out on Monday morning.

    Had a nice business break today. I've been building a repore with an appt scheduler that I haul loads to all the time down south.

    Turns out he's also the buyer scheduler, unbeknownst to me. He says to me, "if you ever get in a bind and need a load south, let me know and I'll take care of you!"

    Well now, that was music to my ears. Cut out the broker and collect the extra 25 to 30 percent. I can handle that ;-)

    Already booked my first load with him for a week out.

    I think it would depend on your desired location and method. WW has been around a long time, BD is at least ten years younger. Both should perform well. I think WW would have a better yeild due to having a better tollerance to conditions. The outdoor season is short in the greater PNW, so I would think greenhouse for best return on investment.

    BD you can make your own. Not hard to do, very corse grind coffee, add water, let stand about 12 hours or more, I would not go more than 24. pour off the liquid. store in cool place for up to a week.

    Do a searh on amazon for cold coffee brewer. Toddy and filtron have units that can do larger volumes.

    One thing that just came to mind. There is a difference between cold brew coffee and cold coffee. The cold brew is making coffee just without using heat, the cold coffee is just that, coffee that has been sitting and is now cold.

    Cold coffee should not be confused with iced coffee.
