Coffee Lover? It Could Be in Your Genes

For some, coffee is the true nectar of the gods, while others won't touch a drop of the stuff. Now, a new study reveals how genes influence people's preferences for a cup o' Joe.

Researchers analyzed genetic data from studies of more than 120,000 coffee drinkers of European and African-American ancestry. They found eight locations of the human genome linked with coffee drinking, six of which had never been linked to consumption of the beverage before, according to the study.

What's Cold-Brewed Coffee?

Most iced coffee is actually "cold-brewed," or brewed slowly in cold water in the fridge overnight, instead of brewed quick and hot in a French press or coffee maker. The resulting coffee is smooth, low-acid, and cold — the perfect brew for iced coffee.

Here are a few ideas that may help you get exactly the taste and flavor you want in your iced coffee.

1. Tweak your coffee to water ratio

2. Try different kinds of coffee

3. Get a good grind

4. Filter your cold brew

5. Make coffee ice cubes
