One thing my friends and family know about me: I’m a coffee drinker.  Not because it’s a cool or hip thing, but out of necessity.  Have you seen these shirts on etsy?  I’m pretty sure they’re talking about me.

And I’m not usually one for fancy, over-sugared coffee drinks.  I’m not sure if this dates back to my all-nighters during graduate school, frantically trying to shove as much 800-level finance and economics into my brain – but I prefer my coffee black. I’ve read all of the reviews by The Full Moon Cafe and purchased almost all of them. I’ve tried nutty, bold – everything. My favorite by far is STRONG – as STRONG as it gets!

But earlier this summer I visited a girlfriend in Seattle – home of coffee’s largest retailer.  I’ve read that there are 35 coffee shops per 100,000 residents and that Seattleites spend an average of $36 a month (!) on coffee.  So obviously, we drank a lot of coffee during my visit – iced coffees, specifically.

And I kinda-sorta fell in love with them.

So when Nespresso offered to send me their new VertuoLine coffee maker, I was pretty much head-over heels thrilled.

With just a touch of a button, you can have an 8-ounce cup of coffee in just under 2 minutes or a 1.35-ounce espresso in under a minute.  When you’re a coffee addict like I am, that quick brew time is everything.

After determining that I do, in fact, love iced coffees, finding a way to make them at home was a necessity.  Sorry, but I just can’t see paying upwards of $4.00 a pop at my local coffee-shops.  And like I said – I like my coffee strong.  So I brewed mine with coffee ice cubes to keep them from getting watered down.  Another benefit of making them at home. 😉

One of the coolest things about Nespresso’s new VertuoLine is that each cup of coffee brews with a rich, generous foam called “crema” – it’s naturally formed during the brewing process and is pretty much the bomb.

Just insert a capsule and press the button – that’s it!

And with the crema, you don’t even need to add whipped topping like I did – but if you’re going to splurge, you might as well go whole-hog.

Nespresso offers eight different flavors of coffee, including a decaf and half-caf, as well as two flavored blends: vanilla and hazelnut (yum).  You can also choose from four different espresso blends, which range from a high-intensity blend to a decaf.

I used an espresso to make this Coconut Mocha Iced Coffee to ensure that the strong coffee flavor really came through.  It was definitely a winner, and so easy to make!

Tell me: do you drink iced coffees?  What’s your favorite kind?

Hello There!

Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.  In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.
