Gather Your Ingredients and Equipment
Before you start, ensure you have your Ninja Luxe Café Pro ready, along with fresh coffee beans, milk, and ice. Use the integrated grinder to grind your beans to the right consistency for espresso, and gather your favorite milk or milk alternative.
- Fresh coffee beans
- Ice cubes
- Milk or dairy alternative
- Measuring spoon or scale
Brew the Espresso and Prepare Cold Brew Base
Use the guided Barista Assist Technology to select the espresso style—single, double, or ristretto—for your desired strength. Grind your beans with the built-in conical burr grinder set to your preferred level. Brew the espresso directly into a heatproof glass or pitcher.
For a smoother cold brew base, optionally prepare cold brew coffee ahead of time using the Cold Brew option. Keep it chilled for a more concentrated flavor to mix with your espresso.
Assemble the Iced Espresso Drink
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the freshly brewed espresso over the ice. If you prefer a milky iced latte, add your milk or dairy alternative to the glass.
Use the dual froth system to create foam, selecting a preset for a creamy top if desired. Froth your milk separately or directly add it to the drink for a layered effect.
Finish and Serve
Stir your iced espresso drink gently to combine flavors. Optional: garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a cinnamon stick for extra flavor. Serve immediately for the best freshness and cooling effect.
Enjoy your handcrafted summer iced espresso, perfect for hot days or outdoor gatherings.
Tips for Perfect Iced Espresso Every Time
- Use freshly ground coffee for optimal flavor. Adjust the grinder settings for a fine, espresso grind.
- Pre-chill your glass or pitcher for an even colder, more refreshing drink.
- Experiment with milk types and foam textures to customize your iced coffee experience.
