Milo,
Honestly, I probably didn't let it sit long enough to let it warm. Shared a little with my wife and drank the rest probably a little quicker than I should've. But the coffee was big on it, that's for sure.
For my coffee additions I simply did a coarse grind on the beans and tossed them in. When I racked to my bottling bucket I just let it gently flow through a funnel w/ a filter. I just hold it low in the bucket and raise it up as the level in the bucket rises. Nothing fancy, but it kept out the coffee grounds and didn't splash. So had the stout flowing through a small pile of coffee on the way to bottling actually.
I'll probably keep a 12-pack on hand over summer, but when I go visit my parent's place on the fourth of july I'm aging the rest in their basement until this fall or winter. Old house, unfinished basement, exposed brick and concrete, stays nice and dark and cool down there. Better place to store my aged brews than my pantry in the summer months.
