If you love coffee but are looking for a refreshing change from your usual hot cup of Joe, making iced coffee with your Nespresso machine is a great option. Iced coffee is easy to make at home and only takes a few minutes to prepare. Plus, it’s a great way to enjoy your favorite coffee flavor on a hot summer day.
Assuming you have a Nespresso machine, making iced coffee is pretty simple. Just brew coffee using your favorite Nespresso pod, then pour it over ice. If you want to get fancy, you can add some milk or cream and sweetener to taste.
1. Make a pot of coffee according to your chosen technique
1. We recommend using a dark roast coffee for the best results.
2. Fill a glass or cup with ice cubes and pour the coffee over it.
3. Add milk, sugar, and flavorings to taste. For a summery twist, try adding a shot of espresso to your iced coffee!

2. Pour coffee into a large glass or pitcher
Iced coffee is coffee that has been brewed hot and then cooled, often by pouring it over ice or into a cold glass or mug. To make iced coffee at home, you can brew a pot of coffee using your preferred method (we like the French press) and then pour it over a cup of ice. Or, for a quick and easy option, make a batch of cold brew concentrate and mix it with water or milk over ice.
For both methods, we recommend using a little more coffee than you would normally use for hot coffee — around 1½ tablespoons per 8 ounces of water — since some of the coffee will be lost when it melts the ice. Once you’ve brewed your coffee, add sweetener to taste (simple syrup works well) and pour it over a glass or mug filled with ice.
3. Add vanilla extract, sweetener, and milk (or creamer) to taste
Nespresso brews a very strong and concentrated coffee, so when making iced coffee, you’ll want to add some milk or creamer to taste. We also recommend adding a bit of vanilla extract or other flavorings, as well as a sweetener (sugar, honey, etc.) to balance out the coffee’s bitterness.
Once you’ve brewed your coffee and added all of the desired flavorings, it’s time to pour it over ice. Fill a glass with ice cubes, then slowly pour in the coffee until it reaches the top of the glass. If you find that the coffee is too watered down for your taste, you can always add more concentrate.
4. Stir until ingredients are combined
Stirring the ingredients until they are combined is an important step in making iced coffee. This ensures that all the flavors are properly mixed and that the coffee is evenly distributed. If you don’t stir the coffee, you may end up with a cup that is too strong or too weak. Stirring also helps to bring out the flavor of the coffee.
Pouring your iced coffee over ice is an important step to getting the perfect drink. If you pour the coffee directly into your cup without ice, it can become watered down and lose its flavor. Pouring it over ice helps to keep the drink cold and prevents it from becoming diluted.
5. Pour the coffee mixture into a separate glass for each person
Pouring the coffee mixture into separate glasses is important for two reasons. First, it allows each person to customize their drink to their own taste. Second, it prevents the drink from getting watered down as it would if you poured it into one big pitcher. If you’re making iced coffee for a group, make sure to ask each person how they like their coffee before you start brewing. That way, you can make sure everyone gets their perfect cup.
6. Add ice cubes and enjoy!
