The quick answer: You can make iced coffee without a machine using Koffelo Speciality Instant, Cold Brew Signature or a NOC liquid shot. Mix the coffee with your chosen liquid before adding ice. Start with the serving quantity on your pack, then adjust water, milk and sweetness to taste.

Before you start

Have a glass, a spoon, a measuring jug and ice ready. A blender is optional for the third recipe. Each recipe makes one drink. The liquid quantities are suggested starting points, and the coffee dose follows your product's label. Different powders and liquid shots are not interchangeable gram for gram.

Speciality Instant is a soluble powder; Cold Brew Signature is an instant cold brew powder; NOC is a liquid base. None requires you to grind or filter coffee at home. For the difference between brewing and serving methods, read cold brew vs iced coffee.

1. Simple iced black coffee

You need: one label-directed serving of Speciality Instant or Cold Brew Signature, approximately 150 ml cold drinking water, ice and optional sweetener.

Put the coffee in a glass and add the water.
Stir thoroughly until the powder has dissolved. If your pack recommends a different mixing method, use that method.
Taste, then add a little more water if you prefer a lighter drink.
Add ice. If using sweetener, add a small amount and mix again.

Make it yours: For a liquid alternative, use NOC according to its label instead of powder. Keep your water measurement consistent so you can compare the two formats fairly.

2. An easy iced latte-style coffee

You need: one label-directed serving of your Koffelo coffee, approximately 150 ml chilled milk or a plant-based drink, ice and optional sweetener.

Combine the coffee with a small portion of the milk and mix well.
Add the remaining milk and stir until the drink is evenly mixed.
Taste before adding sweetener, especially if your plant-based drink is already sweetened.
Add ice and serve. Add more milk in small amounts if you want a softer coffee flavour.

Make it yours: Use a clear glass and pour the coffee base over the milk for a layered look, then stir before drinking. This is a latte-style drink made without espresso equipment.

3. Creamy blended cold coffee

You need: one label-directed serving of Speciality Instant or Cold Brew Signature, approximately 150 ml chilled milk, a small handful of ice and optional sweetener.

Dissolve the coffee in a little of the milk.
Add the mixed coffee, remaining milk and ice to a blender suitable for crushing ice.
Blend briefly until combined. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick.
Taste, adjust sweetness if needed and serve straight away.

Make it yours: Blend in a small scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert variation. It adds sweetness and changes the ingredients in the finished drink; there is no need to add syrup automatically.

Get a better result with small adjustments

If your drink tastes watery, first reduce the ice or start with colder milk or water. If it tastes too intense, dilute gradually. If powder remains visible, stir it into a smaller amount of liquid before adding the rest. Change one thing at a time and note the quantities you enjoyed.

These are ideas for a freshly prepared drink. Follow the storage instructions for your coffee, milk and other ingredients; do not assume that an unopened product's shelf life applies to a mixed drink.
