What you will need
To make this nice iced coffee you will need:
- Nespresso coffee capsules (or nespresso pods): you can use any capsule depending on your preference, look for espresso capsules for best results (coffee capsules designed to be made as an espresso).
- Strong iced coffee: I recommend using the Ristretto Italiano coffee capsule or Freddo Intenso coffee capsule for a stronger coffee taste.
- Light iced coffee: Alternatively, you can use Freddo Delicato or Volluto capsule for a lighter taste.
- Flavours: for flavoured iced coffee you can use any of the flavoured coffee capsules including coconut, caramel or hazelnut capsules.
- Ice cubes: to cool the coffee down.
- Milk: any milk of choice. I recommend using cold milk for the best results (avoid hot milk). You can use dairy (2%/semi-skimmed or full fat/whole milk) or non-dairy milk (including oat milk or almond milk).
- Water: you will need to add water to your Nespresso coffee machine to make the coffee.
- Optional – you can use any sweetener of choice including maple syrup or honey as desired. You can also top with chocolate shavings, whipped cream or cocoa powder for extra indulgence!
- Nespresso machine – you can use the original Nespresso machine with original capsules or the vertuo Nespresso machine with Vertuo capsules to make this iced coffee.
How to make Nespresso iced coffee
- Add 2-3 ice cubes (80g of ice) into a glass or cup and place under the coffee machine tap.
- Make your Nespresso coffee using desired coffee capsule. Start by selecting your favourite/desired coffee capsule. Insert the capsule into the machine and select the espresso button to brew the hot coffee over the ice-filled glass/cup.
- Add cold milk (or cold foam/cold frothed milk) and stir to combine using a spoon. Add sweetener or extra toppings as desired. Serve and enjoy!

Equipment
You will need a Nespresso original machine or vertuo machine to make the iced coffee.
Nespresso capsules – you can use any nespresso capsule to make this beverage depending on taste. I recommend selecting the capsule according to your taste and preferences as each capsule has a different roasted flavour. Nespresso have flavour profiles outlined in each of the coffee capsule sleeves.
Tips and variations
- Ensure the tank is filled with water before brewing your coffee: the water can be room temperature or cold water (you don’t need to add hot water to brew the coffee).
- Cold foam: you can also add cold foam (cold frothed milk) using the Nespresso Milk frothers (Aeroccino milk frother) for an extra creamy iced coffee.
- Adjust as desired: this recipe can be adjusted according to taste. You can add a spoon of maple syrup for a sweeter tasting iced coffee.
- Flavoured iced coffee: For a variety of flavours, you can adjust the capsule selected. I recommend the following original capsules if you are looking to flavour your iced coffee: Coconut (Tropical coconut), Caramello (caramel flavour), Vaniglia (vanilla flavour), Nocciola (hazelnut flavour), Cioccolatino (chocolate flavour).
