This bold and refreshing iced Americano beats any coffee shop version! Learn the technique that transforms basic espresso into the perfect iced coffee drink, from two coffee experts who’ve cracked the code.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 2 ounces (1 doubleshot) espresso
  • 2 tablespoons cold water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the espresso: Make the espresso using an espresso machine, manual espresso maker, French press, or Moka Pot. Go to How to Make Espresso for instructions.
  2. Add the ice: Add the ice to glass. Pour the espresso over ice. Taste and add cold water, if desired (but the ice sufficiently dilutes the espresso so it’s not required).
