Who doesn't love ice-cold coffee on a hot day? If you're used to the convenience of your Keurig machine, you may be wondering how you can use it to quickly make iced coffee. Fortunately, Keurig makes it easy! In this article, we'll walk you through the simple steps of making iced coffee with the push of a button.

Things You Should Know

  • Use a dark roast brew pod. Lighter roasts tend to taste watered down when combined with ice.
  • Fill your cup with ice and brew your coffee over the ice. Use the smallest cup option to maximize flavor.
  • Add your preferred milk and sweeteners after the coffee has been brewed.

Brew the coffee over the ice.

  1. Select the 6 or 8  fl oz (180 or 240 ml) brew option to start the machine. Go for the smaller volume if you want your iced coffee to taste stronger. If your Keurig machine has an iced button, go ahead and press it—this tells the machine to make a more concentrated coffee, so the ice doesn't dilute it as much.[4]
    • The ice will begin to melt as the hot coffee falls on it. If you want to minimize dilution, brew the coffee into an empty cup and let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before you pour it into an ice-filled glass.
    • You don't need a Keurig machine with the iced button feature in order to make iced coffee! If you're worried the coffee will be too weak, use the "strong" or "shot" option when you brew the coffee with your Keurig. This gives you almost identical results.
