How to Make Café-Quality Iced Coffee at Home with an Espresso Machine

When temperatures rise, there's nothing better than a refreshing iced coffee. The good news? You don't need a trip to your favourite café, you can create barista-quality iced drinks right at home with an espresso machine.

Start with Fresh Espresso

The foundation of every great iced coffee is a rich, well-extracted espresso. Pull a fresh double shot directly over a few ice cubes or let it cool for a minute before pouring over ice. A balanced espresso delivers bold flavour that won't get lost once diluted.

For the best results, use freshly roasted whole beans like Faema Caffè, then grind them just before brewing for maximum aroma and flavour.

Don't Forget the Grinder

Consistent grinding is one of the biggest factors in making exceptional espresso. A quality grinder helps you achieve proper extraction and brings out the sweetness and complexity of your coffee.

Browse Faema's selection of premium espresso grinders to find the perfect match for your home setup.
