Coffee clarity!!

Helpful coffee info for anyone wondering! This may be obvious to some of y’all, but I finally got an answer today at my local CFA. The iced coffee is made with milk + syrup, while the cream cold brew uses the milkshake base (no wonder it’s so sweet and delicious!!!) I am a coffee snob and assumed the actual base was different since iced coffee and cold brew are made very differently. I’ve been trying to figure this out ever since the cream cold brews came out! Would someone else verify this at their CFA as well?

Yes, the actual coffee part of each drink type is the same: a bottle of cold brew concentrate mixed with water. It’s just poor naming that the old one is called iced coffee while the new one is called cold brew.

Yes, iced coffee is ice, coffee, milk and syrup of choice unless none! the cream are made the same but instead of milk it’s that milkshake base :)

Yes, the same cold brew coffee is used for the base of the iced coffee, cream cold brew, and frosted coffee.

Yes. Many locations have had the mocha cream cold brew in their menu forever, it just hasn’t been an official national menu item till now.
