Iced coffee

[fabnsab]

I drink 3 iced coffees a day. Ok, maybe 4...we are on a 9 day Mediterranean on Connie in sept. How easy will it be for me to make my own iced coffee or do I need to do the el Bacio route? Any tricks from fellow iced coffee addicts? 

 

Last time I cruised, I wasn’t a coffee drinker at all!

I do the same, but add one more step:

 

 -    Put about 2 inches of ice in the bottom of a glass,

 -   take it over to the ice-cream bar and have then put a couple of scoops of ice-cream in the glass (coffee, vanilla, chocolate or whatever flavor you prefer with coffee),

 -  stick a straw or spoon into the glass,

 -  take it over to the coffee station and slowly dribble hot coffee into the glass, stirring as you do it, until you fill the glass.

 

Result:  a delicious iced-coffee drink.

The Buffet has coffee, cream/milk and ice 24/7.

Agree, it’s not rocket science.  Added Baileys is good too 🙂

Pouring hot coffee over ice makes watery, luke warm coffee. I’m  not a snob, but I do like it strong and cold.

Real addicts come prepared. Bring your own fine grinds and enjoy. Sandwich ziplocks work best for your ground coffee.

Even at El Bacio, when I ask for an iced tea, they make it hot first and then pour it into a cup filled with ice.  Not sure it will be different for iced coffee?

If you want to make something like ices espresso you are probably better off with CA's suggestion.  But I like strong black coffee too and I find a double espresso over 3 cubes of ice is fine.    If you want something a bit longer try adding soda!

 

(As in soda water - not a can of coke.  Although that might work too...)

Agree.  I'm a semi coffee snob 😁(more of an avid tea drinker who also loves good coffee), and when drinking iced coffee I prefer cold brew.  Less acid and it's strong enough to take ice and not get watered down.  No cold brew available on the ships, so it's gonna have to be double espresso over ice(thank you @GastroGnome!)

Im a cold brew drinker and bring my own and make it.

Prepare your coffee, sit down and relax until the coffee is cold, then add ice and ice cream. Shake shake shake.. yummy.

 

bring a big water bottle.
