The Iced Coffee Craze: 5 Ways to Brew the Perfect Chill This Summer

Posted by Sarah Roudebush on

Summer is in full swing, and so is the demand for cold, refreshing coffee. Whether you're skipping the café line or looking to elevate your at-home barista game, iced coffee is the ultimate cool-down drink. At J.L. Hufford, we've got the gear—and the know-how—to help you brew like a pro. Here are five easy and delicious ways to enjoy iced coffee all summer long.


  1. Classic Iced Coffee with a Twist
    Brew your favorite beans hot, then cool it over ice. Use a Clara French Press from Fellow for rich, smooth results. Add a splash of vanilla or cinnamon syrup to level it up.

2. Cold Brew for the Win
Slow-steeped, low-acid, and oh-so-smooth. Cold brew is a summer staple. Use a Hario Cold Brew System for an effortless batch that lasts all week.

3. Japanese-Style Flash Brew
Brew directly over ice for a crisp, clean flavor. Try it with a pour-over setup like the Hario V60. Use your favorite light roast to bring out fruity, floral notes.

4. Espresso Over Ice (aka Iced Americano)
Love espresso? Pull a double shot from your super-automatic machine and pour it over ice with cold water or milk for a bold yet refreshing drink.

5. Coffee Ice Cubes = No More Watered-Down Drinks
Brew an extra pot and freeze it into cubes. Add them to any iced drink to keep the flavor strong. Bonus: Toss in a few flavored cubes—like mocha or hazelnut—for a sweet surprise.
