Holy shit. What did I get myself into? 😂 my Nespresso comes Tuesday. I’m nervous. I couldn’t stop watching this, she has so much going on! This is a whole new level of coffee lover 😮 Can I even make my blonde roast americano in this? 😕😭
I swear you’re making my syrup, coffee bar & Nespresso list longer. I have Amazon packages coming any day now bcuz I’ve been on your Amazon shop. You and Maison Malli 😂got me in the new year
Loved the video 💕. I have all three of the items that you mentioned (Hyper Chiller, reusable ice cubes and the glass shaker) and I love them. Anytime I am having iced coffee, I always use the Hyper Chiller to cool my coffee. It makes a big difference. You, Maison Malli, and Ipon70 have really helped me enhance my coffee experience. I hope these companies start recognizing and sponsor you. 😊 😊
Found your channel a few months ago and just watched this video. Really appreciate your content as a new Nespresso user. Thanks for the knowledge you share. What I do for iced brewed coffee pods is just hit the button to stop the pod 2/3 of the way through the brewing process. It still tastes perfectly extracted and doesn’t get over-watery when chilled with ice.
Thank you so much for this tips on getting the cold coffee without a ton of ice! I’ve had my nespresso vertuo machine for about a month. And I was testing different pods to find my favorite and a handful tasted so watered down and I thought it was my machine! I was disappointed because I couldn’t find one that tasted like my favorite coffee shops. But I didn’t know that certain pods require alot of water! Thank you so much for your insight I’m going to play around more and keep testing till I get my favorite pod! 🥰
Girl! I enjoyed this video so much. I learned a lot. I just finished a double iced iL Caffe‘. I placed the coffee in the freezer for 2 min, added 2 oz cold water, 4 oz international delight zero sugar caramel macchiato, and a bunch of ice cubes. It was so delicious. I wanted another one. I made it in my vertuo machine. Thank you for sharing your experiences 🤗
Told you once you tried that Flip Creamer you would be hooked!! Glad you found a way to enjoy that Bianco Forte... I can't wait for it to be gone from my stash, but I may have to try it iced for tomorrow's iced drink. I feel like that vanilla bean syrup is coming my way soon..."add it to my cart" 😆😆😆😆!
I haven’t been able to make any coffee pods that I liked cold. I will try some tips I learned from you today. My favorite is Chiaro espresso, frothed milk, condensed milk and ice. I top with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It tastes like the Starbucks mocha iced coffee to me.
Your words on the coconut pod being lightly flavored were spot on. I think I was expecting too much. I tried it with a white chocolate raspberry creamer and it was pretty good but I’ll have to try it hot.
I really love the decaf pod for iced coffee. I brew mine first thing in the morning and leave it in my freezer while I get ready for the day and have it as a mid afternoon treat (the brumate champagne flute is the perfect size for the liquid w milk and I add ice to a glass).
For full size, Stormio is one of my faves. Definitely going to try the Bianco Forte iced though because I don't tend to love it either! Half caffeine is AWESOME iced. Love!
BTW I loooove your videos! I bought a nespresso machine because of you and got in the pH delight syrup which I love. I also got the diamond cut glasses for iced coffee lol. I'm a fan girl I guess! Haha Thank you so much for your great suggestions! Love the channel!
Love these videos. I figured the 7.7oz pods were only good hot and I do the double shots over ice now I know I can try other ways of iced drinks!! Thank you :)
I have been thinking about getting some iced coffee gear, but my current solution is to brew my morning cup and afternoon cup in the morning - drink one and put the other in the fridge. It’s cold by the time I want to drink it. This works as long as I know which pod I might want later in the day. 😉 I’m excited to try Bianco Forte iced. I do not like it hot. I also didn’t like caramel cookie hot, but I like it iced!
I just put a bianco forte pod in the fridge for iced coffee later, I can’t wait! 🥲 I didn’t mind it hot- it wasn’t my favorite though but i love you and your channel and all your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
So far I really like the Columbia and the Hazelino iced. Super yummy and perfect for the hot weather here in Texas! I haven’t tried the blue iced pods yet, but they’re next on my list. I use regular coffee mate creamer and it is delicious 🤤
Hello Alex, I’m new to Nespresso vertuo and still discovering what i like and what pods to try.. I’ve watched lots of your coffee videos and love it including favorite coffee accessories! I got the pink straw, so pretty! I’m thinking of getting the espresso shot glass with wood handle too.. so cute! 😊 I love espresso hot & ice with milk but sometimes i just want a good cup of brewed coffee with a little bit of milk but more coffee.. can you make a video of which 7.7 oz brewed coffee are your favorite and recommend please???? And have you tried any of the alto intenso?? Keep the video coming, love and enjoyed it! 🥰
My go to iced pod is the half caff - it tastes so good and half the caffeine means i can have two a few hours apart 😂 im in the UK and love your videos by the way - I had a Vertuo but your videos made me buy an Essenza Mini and i love it!
I love the iced forte! It’s meant to be brewed directly over ice so the pod literally needs to be watered down. The next time you try it, you may like it better!
I agree with you on the chocolate fudge pod! The aftertaste was horrible! I kept thinking it tasted like a bitter dark beer...YUCK! Never getting that one again. 🤢🤮
Also i hope you do a review of the new forest flavors for vertuo! The almond flavor is the only one i’m excited about, i have the same coffee flavor pallet as you (cereally, malty, toasted etc) so i feel like i trust all of your reviews without even trying them. Now i want to try so many different pods but i can’t afford my 10+ sleeve order in my cart 🥲🥲
I Love the coconut pod. I went to the store as soon as my pods came in to find the chobani flip creamer, I was so sad I couldn't find it but I got the International delight almond joy cream, omg I love it that way, k can't get enough. I've been really disappointed in the chocolate pods. Chocolate is my favorite flavor for coffee, I love mochas. I'm going to try the cinnamon bun syrup to see if I can redeem it. I was so sad about that chocolate pods.
Hi! I love your videos and I love coffee too. My husband gifted me a Nespresso Vertuo machine last week so I'm really really new to this. I keep missing how you said to make a 7.77 oz pod into a double espresso pod without programing the machine. How do I do this? thank you and keep making coffee
I finally tried the Bianco Forte iced and I like it much better that way but I still had to let the ice melt down in it a bit. I probably wont buy it again though. I recently tried Brown Sugar oat milk creamer by Coffeemate...oh em gee it is amazing! You have to try it. I froth it and put it over my iced coffee to make a mock Starbucks brown sugar drink only mine tastes way better than when I buy it at Starbucks lol.
I didn’t like the coconut pod and a Nespresso store associate recommended me to try it with a snickers creamer from coffee mate and said it turned into almond joy 😂 Haven’t tried yet but i will soon 😏
The only way I’ve made the coconut work for me is with almond syrup. Just a traditional iced latte with a couple splashes of almond. I’ve been calling it a wedding cake latte. I’m going to experiment with the chocolate fudge. I tried it for the first time yesterday and was so disappointed. For lack of better description, it tasted like juice from the bottom of the trash can 😳. I’m going to play around with it!
Love this video! Thank you.... Love this channel! It's like we have the same tastes. One quick question... Do you use ordinary dishwashing liquid to clean the reusable ice cubes each time?
I just make my first iced coconut today and i used a 30oz mason jar since i like a lot of ice, 7.7 ounce pd, 4oz frothed milk, 2 tbsp syrup and a splash of sweet cream creamer. Heaven!
The other way to make an iced coffee is to stop the coffee short to about 5 oz , then you can poor the ice over it. When it’s short it’s a little stronger so the capsule doesn’t get diluted.
This may be a stupid stupid question but I just got my machine, can I make my lattes with the vanilla and Carmel pod you mentioned above still or do I have to use the espresso / double espresso ? Thanks
Does the reusable ice have a funky plastic taste? The last time I bought a set of reusable ice, it had a nasty plastic taste to any and every drink so it deterred me from buying them again. I wish the hyper chiller was smaller instead of being so bulky, considering I live in an apartment and apartment complexes have small fridges :(
@@_Alexmojica i had never heard of monin before watching you i ordered a sampler from amazon. love the vanilla and caramel, didnt care for irish cream at all, the amaretto is just ok wouldnt order again and will be tasting hazelnut tomorrow. i really like the vanilla but cant decide if i should try french vanilla? not sure of the difference if any. the caramel is amazingggggggggg
Nespresso needs to sponsor you like ASAP!
Thanks go tag them 😄 but even if they don’t I love doing this!
Just bought the Vertuo plus for my wife so thank you for these videos. I may even start drinking coffee after watching these
Love your videos but end up SHOPPING after them! Cups, Glass Straws, Syrups, and now those ice cubes! Your videos are so fun!
Haha thank you!
The problem I have with ice coffee is I can finish off a 7.77 in about 2 minutes… anyone else?
😂 me too
😄😄 true
Same lol
It's so good. Drink 2. 😁
Lol I can get through one in 15 seconds
Holy shit. What did I get myself into? 😂 my Nespresso comes Tuesday. I’m nervous. I couldn’t stop watching this, she has so much going on! This is a whole new level of coffee lover 😮 Can I even make my blonde roast americano in this? 😕😭
You can by adding water to it after
I swear you’re making my syrup, coffee bar & Nespresso list longer. I have Amazon packages coming any day now bcuz I’ve been on your Amazon shop. You and Maison Malli 😂got me in the new year
Haha happy shopping! 😅
Love the Forte lol. I love a strong coffee. It’s my go to after Intenso

The costa rica in my sample kit was super good iced!
Nice video! I learn more every time I watch your vids. 🇨🇦
Thank you!
I found all the different flavors of the Chobani creamer at my local Meijer’s.
Thanks for letting us know hopefully that helps others!
Publix has that Flip creamer
Thanks for sharing!
I love the coconut pod hot with torani creme DE Cocao and a vanilla almond milk..
Sounds yummy!
Love your videos, actually ordered the sugar sampler from milk street after watching your video. Quick question, what sugars pair well with what pod?
I mainly use Creme brûlée with any caramel pods and the Mexican mocha with the Mexico pod
I love the iced forte! It’s meant to be brewed directly over ice so the pod literally needs to be watered down. The next time you try it, you may like it better!
Thanks!
That’s good to know, I didn’t like it when I tried it before.

Awww yay!
I agree with you on the chocolate fudge pod! The aftertaste was horrible! I kept thinking it tasted like a bitter dark beer...YUCK! Never getting that one again. 🤢🤮
Yeah once I finish the sleeve I might not repurchase but glad I figured something out while I have it
I add my chocolate protein powder and it makes it taste so much better.
@@OnASpiritualLevel I might try that just to finish them. I usually add my double expresso shots to my protein shakes, but I'll try it! 👍🏼😊

Can you make a video, reviewing the half calffinato? The red and black pod!! I’d like to know if you liked it and what you pair it with!!

Yes I think that’s a perfect size if you add a lot of milk to your pods like I sometimes do

Yes it’s linked in my amazon store in the description. When you get to it just go to coffee corner!
@@_Alexmojica Awesome!
vanilla vs french vanilla? trying to decide which one to order!
French vanilla always!
I love the hazelnut muffalino. It makes the most delicious iced hazelnut latte. I still cannot get into that chocolate one. 😩
did you add hazelnut syrup?
The other way to make an iced coffee is to stop the coffee short to about 5 oz , then you can poor the ice over it. When it’s short it’s a little stronger so the capsule doesn’t get diluted.
I’ve done that as well! But mainly because some cups are too small so I’ll stop the machine so it fits 😄
This may be a stupid stupid question but I just got my machine, can I make my lattes with the vanilla and Carmel pod you mentioned above still or do I have to use the espresso / double espresso ? Thanks
No because those pods are coffee pods and not espresso pods. You’ll need to use an espresso pod and maybe use vanilla or caramel syrups for the flavor
Please tell me where you got that glass that you used for the Bianco forte? 😍
