  1. I do this most mornings. Splash of milk and it’s a great morning. I have some croissants to go with this tomorrow.

    Yeah the light roasts hit different on ice

    That’s how I make my ice lattes in the summer, I use almond milk.

    Some like it bitter. Others I guess like it most bitterest?

    Lately I’ve just been making America is by pulling a shot into cold water then using my steam wand to warm it up. I don’t like using my hot water dispenser cause it drains my tank too fast haha. I think it’s been called an aerocano but I don’t inject air into it.

    either cold brew or espresso

    Why should you ever choose that or my friend

    Americano not acceptable

    that’s how i’d do an iced coffee… couldn’t quite understand the ‘cold brew’ method.

  9. Some people believe that rapid cooling down of the espresso reduces the oil oxidation and thus preserves more flavor compound.

    This is the same as the frozen ball thing, it preserves a lotta flavor

    No, the entire reason I like espresso is because the flavor is concentrated.

    What’s happens when glass is cold and suddenly gets really hot?

    Iced Americano / Iced Long Black

    Or an iced watte.

    So an iced Americano? Lovely idea to speed up the process. I’ve been pulling my shot, then adding the ice water I can’t believe I didn’t think to do this!

  15. I used to make pour over directly over ice. This looks like a crime though

    My neighbor started doing this, and then about a month later the feds kicked his door in at 4AM. You do you, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

    What’s with some of the hate, isn’t this just an iced americano? I would maybe try this too if i had enough clearance, but i need my scale in there

    My go-to morning drink is basically this, but a lot less water and one big cube of ice. Feels like sipping a morning cocktail and it’s absolutely delicious.
