You now hold the only two rules cold coffee has. One: cold suppresses perception — chilled drinks read quieter in aroma, acidity, and sweetness than the same liquid warm, which is why a lukewarm soda tastes so much sweeter than an icy one. Two: ice is future water — every cube in the glass is dilution on a timer. Together they say: brew stronger and brighter than feels right hot, because the cold and the melt will spend both surpluses for you.

Every iced adaptation of every brewer is those two rules wearing different equipment.
