Overheard a guy at the coffee shop say cold brew is just lazy iced coffee

I was grabbing a latte yesterday and this dude next to me told his friend that cold brew is 'just iced coffee for people who can't wait.' I've always thought cold brew was smoother and less bitter, but he had a point about the time thing. Takes 12-20 hours to steep versus just pouring hot coffee over ice. Which side do you land on - is cold brew worth the wait or just a fancy excuse?

Gotta say cold brew is totally different from iced coffee, not just a slower version.

@emma_mitchell it's just coffee, not that deep.
