Iced Coffee Recipes

This video shows you how to make exceptional cold brewed coffee!How To Use The Toddy!

Making iced coffee is not only a delicious way to enjoy our beloved beverage, but it will also save you a boatload of cash! To make this process simple, learn how to cold brew coffee. You can either do this in a french press or with the Toddy. The Toddy will create a larger volume, which you can store in the fridge and use the concentrate for your daily iced coffee. Below, I have listed a few favorite iced coffee recipes. If you are looking to consume several glasses, I would recommend the ‘Skinny’ versions. Drinking several glasses that contain sweetened condensed milk and cream could have a negative impact on your bikini body!

Iced Coffee Tips

  • I always use coffee ice cubes, as they will not water down my drink, like the water based cubes do. If you find that your cubes are too strong, simply mix in some milk, cream, or water before freezing!
  • Mastering the perfect iced coffee is part of the fun! Try variations of these recipes to find your magical mix. Coffee is all about personal preference, so please mix it up!
  • Start with fresh roasted, specialty coffee! You will never create your dream beverage with instant coffee or store bought beans. These coffees are all stale and trying to revive them is a pointless endeavor.
  • Cold brew your coffee to eliminate the burnt flavors. When coffee is cold brewed, it highlights the natural sweetness of the coffee.
  • You can store the cold brewed concentrate in your refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. Be sure to tightly seal your cold brew concentrate. Failing to do so will result in your beverage absorbing flavors from other items in the fridge. Nobody likes onion flavored coffee!

EDIT: Wow, this video is brutal! Haha. I look like I’m scared to death of the camera. I really need to redo this one (as with most of my early vids). You will find a better cold brew tutorial, which uses the Toddy cold coffee brewer at this link.

Howdy, welcome back to coffeenate.com to learn about Cold Brewing Coffee.  In most areas of the country it is starting to get pretty hot and sticky this time of year.  Who wants to add any heat to the house, or even drink a hot drink for that matter?  Maybe you just want to experiment and try a change of pace.  If that describes you, then cold brewing coffee is right up your alley!  This was an interesting adventure, because there are no hard and fast rules to this method of brewing java.  I experimented with brewing it in milk vs. water, water temps, in the fridge, room temp, various grinds etc.  It was lots of trial and error and I was close to thinking that this method just wasn’t for me, I’m too much of a coffee snob to appreciate the cold brew.  Alas, I found the right combination of factors to produce a suitable brew.  This video details how to brew cold coffee from start to finish.  Here are a couple of recipes that [Read more…]

  • How to use The French Press


    This method is pretty well regarded as the gold standard, the rawest, yet most refined way to experience a coffee.  It is raw because there is nothing that takes away from the coffee, just hot water and beans.  There is


    nowhere for the coffee to hide, its true characteristics will be known.  My very first video was about this method, and I recently refined and improved my technique and demonstrate a reverse technique as well.

  • How to use The AeroPress


    This brewer looks like a giant syringe, perfect for a coffee junkie like me!  It is very unique, uses a paper filter, but creates a smooth yet rich cup.
    Cost about $25. The flavor is improved when using a metal filter disk!


  • How to use a Moka Pot


    In Italy you will find at least 2 of these babies in every house, and Italians know their coffee.  Also known as the stove top espresso maker, this brewer is almost dummy proof and creates a very rich flavorful cup of coffee.
    Cost= $20-$75


  • How to use a Syphon / Vac / Siphon Pot Brewing


    This method is one of the oldest, if not THE oldest, method of brewing coffee.  This is my personal favorite for non-espresso coffee.  Not only does it produce a flavorful, and ultra tasty cup of coffee, it puts on a great show to boot.  I never tire of watching coffee brewed in a syphon pot!
    Cost= $60-$130


  • How to use the Chemex


    The secret to the Chemex lies in the filter.  It is quite a thick filter, and it produces an exceptionally smooth cup of coffee and never bitter.  Follow my step by step guide to brew like a pro with this attractive brewer.

  • How To Use a Single Cup Pourover Brewers


    This video is about the one cup Melitta, but the principle is the same as most pourover brewers.  Why is this better than autodrip?  Well for one, the parts are all mineral build up and scale deposit free!  Another is brew temp.  Temperature is a very important aspect to coffee brewing.  Brewing on demand is the best way to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee.
    Cost= $5-$45

Have a coffee question…ASK COFFEENATE!

I ordered this Chemex brewer a few weeks back and have been playing with it a few times since.  At first I was a bit intimidated, but once I tried to use it a few times I quickly learned how to coax a sweet cup of coffee from her.  I think it’s a girl….don’t know why, but I just do 😉  There are a
