The Rise of Cold Coffee in 2025: Recipes, Techniques & Tools to Try at Home
Cold coffee has become a year-round essential. In 2025, cold brew, espresso tonic, and iced lattes are winning over a new generation seeking refreshing, flavorful drinks. These recipes bring out fruity or chocolatey notes that are often hidden in hot coffee.
For a cold brew, mix coarsely ground coffee (we recommend Specialty Coffee from the Gearbox Coffee Roasters range or Mokarico Arabica Colombia) with water and let it steep for 12 to 18 hours in the refrigerator. For an espresso tonic, pour tonic water over ice, add a bold espresso (like our Lollo Caffè Classico — a must-try!), and finish with a hint of citrus. Finally, an iced latte is simply made with espresso, milk, and syrup.
A burr grinder, a French press, or an ESE pod machine are ideal tools to prepare these drinks at home. Italian coffees like Lollo Caffè and Mokarico retain their aromas even when cold, offering a refreshing treat anytime.
