Let’s get started:

3. Freeze Ice Cubes in Style:
Coffee ice cubes are an excellent addition to your summer beverage routine. They are simple to make by freezing any brewed coffee in an ice cube tray, and they add a burst of concentrated coffee flavour to any iced coffee. These coffee ice cubes are perfect for keeping your iced coffee chilled without diluting it, and they're also great for adding a boost of caffeine to other summer beverages like lemonade or iced tea. So, if you're looking to elevate your summer drink game, consider making a batch of coffee ice cubes and enjoy your favorite drinks with a coffee kick!
4. Swirl a Coconut Coffee decadence:
Mix your iced coffee with coconut water to add some electrolytes and extra hydration. You can brew our ground coffee variants such as Classico and Cremoso over ice using a pour-over. And then take that chilled coffee concentrate and pour it into a glass of chilled tender coconut water. You could also freeze coconut water into ice trays overnight and add them to your espresso once ready. The sweet taste of coconut water will not only be more nourishing than plain ice, it will also elevate the taste notes of cocoa and spices in the coffee blend, to complement the coffee perfectly.
5. The French Press Hack:
A simple and easy hack to make cold brew coffee is to use a French press kit. To get started, use our Intenso coarse ground coffee and add them to the French press. Next, pour room temperature or cold water over the coffee grounds and stir the mixture to ensure all of the grounds are fully immersed. Place the French press in the refrigerator and let it steep for 12-24 hours. After the steeping time is complete, press down the plunger to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid. Pour the cold brew into a separate container and store it in the refrigerator. This method produces a smooth and refreshing cold brew that's perfect for hot summer days.
6. Fancy some Coffee Popsicles:
Looking for a fun and indulgent summer treat? Why not try making coffee popsicles? Simply mix iced coffee with milk and a bit of sugar to create a sweet and refreshing base. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and let them sit in the freezer for 5-6 hours. For extra variety, experiment with different our flavoured blends like Thandai, Caramel, Hazelnut, Peppermint Mocha etc. These coffee popsicles are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth and coffee cravings all at once. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy a deliciously cool and caffeinated treat this summer!
7. Make Coffeelicious Jelly:
Looking for a unique and delicious dessert idea? Why not try making coffee-flavored jelly? With our flavoured blends like Caramel, Vanilla and Dark Chocolate. Start by brewing an espresso using our Finero Next Coffee Machine and allow it to cool. Then, mix gelatin to the cooled espresso and stir well. Pour the mixture into a mold and refrigerate until set.
