Good iced coffee is much more than just the sum of its parts. The right method and the right coffee to use also depend on what you're going for — if you want a sweet, smooth, syrupy coffee, try the cold brew method and stick to coffees with darker chocolate and berry notes. (We use the Stumptown House Blend in our cold brew stubbies.) If you're the fruity-floral type, an iced Aeropress of a single-origin Ethiopian coffee will do right by you. But beware: Iced coffees go down smooth and easy, but they pack a potent punch. Sip slowly, or add lots of ice, water, or milk to keep you from flying too close to the sun.
