4 Easy Iced Coffee Recipes To Cool Down With

When the heat is on, nothing beats an iced coffee. These four summer-ready recipes are easy to make (and delicious to drink).

There's something for you whether you prefer espresso, filter, and even if you don't have the equipment for either.

1. iced americano

A classic.

what you’ll need: ice, cold water, and 1 shot of espresso

how to make:

1. fill your glass with ice
2. add cold water (until about two-thirds full)
3. pour a fresh shot of espresso over the top

That’s it! We use Ubuntu (espresso) as our base in the roastery. It's light flavour profile pairs perfectly with ice.

2. iced latte

Incredibly refreshing.

what you’ll need: ice, cold milk (any kind you like), and 1 shot of espresso

how to make:

1. fill your glass with ice
2. add milk (until about two-thirds full)
3. pour a fresh shot of espresso over the top
4. rest for at least 30 seconds before drinking

Allowing time between preparation and drinking gives the crema a chance to settle and allows the flavours to meld for a rich, layered finish.

We love House (espresso) for our iced lattes because it's roasted to pair well with milk.

3. iced filter brew

Full of flavour.
what you’ll need: ice and freshly brewed coffee

how to make:

1. brew your filter coffee in advance (V60, Chemex, batch brew, or however you like)
2. let it cool to room temperature (or cooler)
3. fill a glass with ice
4. pour your filter coffee on top

Simple, clean, and a great way to explore origin characteristics in warm weather. We like Javier Rubio (filter), but any filter coffee will work depending on your preferences.

4. cold brew

Make ahead of time.
what you’ll need: ice, cold water, and coarsely ground coffee

how to make:

1. steep 60g of coffee per litre of cold water in the fridge for 16–18 hours
2. strain
3. pour over ice
4. dilute with water (optional)

We use Bold (espresso) for cold brew as the chocolatey notes form the ideal base for this drink.

Why not try one at home or in the office when the weather is nice? Grab your coffee here and tag us in your iced creations. We'd love to see what you're brewing.
