How to make Iced Coffee with Nespresso?

​

Summer is already here; then, why not make it extraordinary by learning the making of iced coffee with Nespresso? I’m giving a big thumbs up for Nespresso Vertuo Machine and the Nespresso Barista Coffee, via which you can make coffee-shop quality coffee in the comfort of your own home and at a fraction of the price.

 

To make the Nespresso cold brew, you need Nespresso pods (of your choice), a Nespresso machine, milk, and some added love like cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate shavings, etc. This easy-peasy recipe takes 5 minutes to brew. Isn’t it amazing? 

 

To keep yourself cool during hot months, just read this article that will tell you some great iced coffee recipes using Nespresso pods and machines. Our mentioned recipes are easy and quick. 

 

What are you waiting for? Grab a nice cup of coffee and give this worthy piece a scroll!

 

But before that, we want you to know what a Nespresso iced coffee is. 

​

What is a Nespresso iced coffee?

​

A Nespresso Iced coffee is a chilled beverage made from Nespresso iced coffee machine and a Nespresso pod. You can add some other ingredients to it, the way you like. 

 

The relishing part? You can choose whichever Nespresso pod you like because it depends on the flavour. (HAIL TO YOUR COFFEE YOUR CHOICE)

 

Nespresso Iced Coffee contains:

• A coffee pod as per your taste

• 3-4 Ice cubes 

• Milk of your choice

• A sweetener (can be any sugar or coffee syrup)

 

That’s it for the making of the iced coffee. Want to know which Nespresso pods I love to use and why? Then, read this further.

​

Which Nespresso pod is suitable for making the best Iced Coffee?

​

The most important part of making an Iced Coffee is to cherry-pick your favourite Nespresso pods. But what happens if you’re novel with Nespresso pods? Don’t worry because you are in the right place. 

 

As your chilled beverage contains milk, you want to be specific while picking up a Nespresso pod_ that has a good amount of flavour. 

 

That’s why I recommend some dark-roasted coffee pods that will eventually enhance your cup of coffee.

 

The Nespresso pods begin at level 9 and indicate the intensity scale of Nespresso coffee. Picking an intense espresso variant will give your iced coffee a boost. 

 

But what if you’re going to use a Lungo pod? I would say go for it! But be careful while adding the milk. 

 

The Lungo pods need less milk to balance out the flavour of your iced coffee. Adding to this, choose the intense Lungo pod for experiencing the best.

​

How to make the perfect iced coffee using a Nespresso machine?

​

Can Nespresso make iced coffee? Yes, for sure! Not just the usual iced coffee but a perfect one.

 

This recipe requires a Nespresso Iced Coffee Maker. I’m using a Nespresso Vertuo that already has an Aerocinno milk frother. 

 

This amazing machine is equipped with things you need to prepare Iced Coffee. 

 

We are making our iced coffee with cold foam froth, as we don’t want to use hot milk for its preparation.  

 

Are you ready for the step-by-step guide? Dive in!

 

Before preparing iced coffee, make sure that you have the following things:

 

• Nespresso machine

• Milk frother with a cold froth function

• Nespresso pod as per your taste

• Half a cup of milk (120 ml)

• Ice cubes (obviously)

• Your favourite sweetener (optional)

 

Once you are equipped with the above stuff, it’s time to roll up your sleeves. 

 

Step 1

​

Turn on your Nespresso machine and ensure the quantity of water in the reservoir.

 

Step 2

​

Heat your Nespresso machine by running water through the machine by pressing the Lungo button. Bring an empty coffee cup to catch the water. Throw this running water in, and the milk places the cup back right under the machine.

 

Step 3

​

Take out some milk from the fridge. Pour the milk into the Aeroccino milk frother and turn the machine on. Hold the button for 3-5 seconds until the blue circle blinks. 

 

Check out the colour of the milk frother. It gives off a red colour to make the milk warm. The blue light indicates that it froths cold milk. 

 

Step 4

​

Add your favourite Nespresso pod to the machine and press the button. The coffee begins to squeeze out. The Nespresso machine will pour the coffee into your heated cup. 

 

Step 5

​

Ready to Bring some ice cubes and add them to your coffee cup; pour the hot espresso on top of the ice cubes and blend it a bit. 

 

Step 6

​

Take out your fluffy milk and swirl it a little. Make sure that all the milk is mixed well with the foam on top. 

 

Step 7

​

Pour this fluffy and frothy milk on top of your coffee. Your iced coffee is ready to take a sip. You can add some extra things like your favourite sweetener or sprinkle it with some cinnamon, nutmeg, or chocolate shavings. 

​

Selecting the best milk for a better taste

​

The better the milk, the better the taste and foam; because this recipe calls for a half cup of milk or 120 ml. Due to the importance of milk, I recommend some milk alternatives from which you get a brief idea.

 

For this recipe, I used cow’s milk. Its extra foaminess and texture will give you a perfect sensation. Cow’s milk contains 2% fat, which gives the milk bubbles. Any milk other than cow’s milk will make foam, but no one can beat its creamy texture. 

 

But because there are so many milk alternatives, I know it becomes overwhelming. 

 

If you want a dairy alternative go with soya milk, which is plant-based.This milk alternative is perfect to use as it froths super easy and tastes delicious at the same time.

 

Also, if you want to add some flavoured milk_ then choose one that suits your taste. If you like your iced coffee to have a slight coconut taste_ then go with coconut milk.

 

But I would recommend that you go with some neutral milk flavours as you need to taste coffee. 

 

No matter what, there are infinite choices to go. You can make your dream iced coffee by brewing the perfect flavour that suits you.
