3 Tips for the Best At-Home Iced Coffee Ever with the New K-Brew+Chill Brewer by Keurig

If you want truly excellent iced coffee, you know you’ll need it colder than cold. Thanks to Keurig®’s new K-Brew+Chill™ Brewer, that’s finally possible. This isn’t your average iced coffee brewer: The new Keurig machine gets your coffee so cold that you don’t even need ice—though if you prefer it, we have a tip for that (see below). It also does it fast. No more waiting for hours or even days while your coffee beans seep in the fridge. Finally, an at-home coffee maker that makes iced coffee as cold as the coffee shop, with the delicious flavor and cool refreshment that us iced coffee lovers have been looking for.

Here’s how it works: The K-Brew+Chill’s new patent-pending QuickChill technology flash-chills the coffee to cool it down to a refreshing temperature—all in less than three minutes. And since it’s so cold, less ice means less dilution, which equals full flavor until the last sip. Bonus: The innovative appliance is also able to brew your other favorite beverages, including hot coffee and other iced drinks.

The new K-Brew + Chill brewer gets iced coffee as cold as you’d get it at a coffee shop, but to get that additional bold flavor, Keurig has crafted iced-specific K-Cup pods. Another easy way to up your at-home iced coffee game is to ditch regular ice cubes and make coffee ones instead. Simply take your K-Brew+Chill iced beverage and pour into an ice mold—bonus points for fancy extra-large or round molds. Let harden and drop into your next coffee beverage for an extra boost.

Frothed milk is the key to getting the café-quality iced coffee experience at home. You can use Keurig SimpleCafé Milk Frother for whipping up cold or warm milk into a silky froth that makes for delicious iced coffee creations. And forget fancy (but often sugary) coffee shop syrups. Another key to excellent iced coffee is hiding in your pantry. Grab that little bottle of vanilla extract from the baking shelf and add a few drops to your iced coffee or frothed milk for “depth and a hint of sweetness sans tons of sugar,” says one PureWow editor, “It really only takes a smidge of extract to add rich flavor.”
