It’s too hot for hot coffee

With summer temperatures soaring, those of us who need a caffeine kick to get our days started know that a hot cup of joe is officially out of the question for the next few months. The days of cold brew, iced lattes and other refreshing coffee beverages are in. But a daily trip to the coffee shop for a cold drink can really add up. Making iced coffee and cold brew at home is much more economical — and it’s surprisingly easy to do, if you just have the right setup.

That’s why we’ve rounded up tons of great options for making iced coffee and cold brew at home. These machines range from all-in-one coffee makers that can make both hot and iced drinks to rapid chillers that will take your hot coffee and make it cold in just minutes to pour overs and infusers for making cold brew at home in your fridge.

In this article: Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker, Keurig K-Iced Single-Serve Coffee Maker and Mr. Coffee 3-in-1 Single-Serve Iced and Hot Coffee/Tea Maker with Blender

Check out the list below for all the options, and you’ll be just a few clicks away from making and enjoying your favorite cold coffee drinks at home for the rest of the summer.
