I don't understand what the point of it is or how to consume it.

I have read instructions on how to make it. I can make it as well though of course I am no expert.

I just don't know why someone would have it over normally brewed coffee. Is the taste different? I am not the kind of person who can tell difference easily.
Let's say you have cold brewed a pot overnight. What do you do with it? Can you heat it before drinking it? Or do you have to drink it cold?

Thanks.

I only ever drink cold brew as the occasional treat at a cafe. I have a moka pot at home and just have that coffee over ice. I personally found myself struggling to make it well at home.

It tastes a bit less acidic or smoother than traditional coffee. You really notice the difference comparing a black cold brew to a black iced americano.
You can serve it chilled or over ice. I've never heard of reheating it but if you were to try I'd suggest a low heat and to reheat slowly. You might introduce a burnt taste to it if it's under high heat.
