Did you know that Sweden is one of the world's most coffee-loving countries and that our population is even the world's most coffee-loving? Given this fact, it is not surprising that we in Sweden are very interested in and drink a lot of coffee! Today, however, we do not only drink brewed coffee and so-called "fine coffee", but today it is also very common to drink coffee drinks of various kinds. These can be adapted to the season, time of year, weather and mood. Now that summer is approaching fast, it can be perfect to learn some recipes for cooling, fresh coffee drinks so that you can maximize the enjoyment in the heat!

Our best coffee drink recipes

At Coffydoor, we are big advocates of the fact that coffee can be a very versatile drink. If you use our capsules in your coffee machine, you will not only be able to brew yourself a really good, hot cup of aromatic and flavorful coffee during the slightly cooler mornings.

But with our capsules you can also make really good coffee drinks. Both a little simpler and a little more exclusive ones, depending on your wishes and needs at the moment. Take a look at our best recipes for really good coffee drinks below!

Iced Latte Recipe

The classic iced latte. If you haven't tried making your own iced latte at home, or even drinking iced lattes at all, now is the time to do so. It's very easy to make your own iced latte at home; all you need is:

• One Coffydoor espresso capsule. (Those who need that little extra can dare to use two)
• Optional milk drink
• ice
• syrup (optional, but gives a sweeter touch. Recommend vanilla or salted caramel flavors)

To make iced latte at home, follow these steps:

1. Brew a Coffydoor espresso
2. fill a glass with ice
3. pour over the coffee
4. fill the glass with cold milk drink
5. Taste the strength and add more milk if necessary.
6. top with optional amount of syrup for a sweeter touch
7. clear!

Coffee Tonic Recipe

In addition to the iced latte, which is one of our personal favorites when it comes to refreshing and invigorating coffee drinks, we want to recommend coffee tonic. It is the perfect coffee drink for all summer adventures – whether you are going out to dinner, inviting friends over for a drink, want to take a refreshing drink with you on a walk or just want to drink something delicious at home, a coffee tonic can be very good. Recipe here!

Ingredients:

• Coffeedoor Lungo
• tonic water
• ice

Do this:

1. Brew a Coffydoor Lungo and let cool.
2. fill a glass with ice
3. pour over your tonic followed by the coffee
4. clear!

P.S. for a slightly more festive drink, you can try adding a splash of gin, a splash of citrus juice, or anything else you can think of that would work.

Espresso Martini Recipe

Last but not least, we would like to recommend another classic that is hard to beat, namely the espresso martini. This is a coffee drink that is undoubtedly just as good to enjoy on a warm summer evening as on a chilly winter afternoon. It doesn't require many ingredients, it's quick and easy.

Ingredients (amount for about 2 drinks):

• cold coffee (approx. 8 cl) 2 Coffydoor Espresso capsules, it also works fine to use the Lungo button but select the “Espresso button” for a slightly milder coffee taste.
• vodka (about 6 cl)
• coffee liqueur (approx. 6 cl)
• ice
• coffee beans or grated chocolate for topping

Do this:

1. Choose Coffydoor capsule according to preference
2. Pour coffee, vodka and coffee liqueur into a shaker, then fill it with ice.
3. Shake everything well
4. Strain the drink mix into a martini glass.
5. Top with a coffee bean or some grated chocolate
6. Clear!

Which coffydoor capsules are best for summer coffee drinks?

At coffydoor, we offer you as a customer a choice of three different types of coffee capsules. Our different variants are called Lungo , Espresso and Ristretto , where Lungo is the smoothest flavor and Ristretto the most robust. Depending on how you prefer your coffee and your coffee drinks, different coffee capsules will be suitable for you.

For those who prefer a slightly milder, rounder and more easy-drinking coffee drink, Lungo is preferable. It is especially suitable in a coffee tonic and espresso martini. Espresso is the coffee capsule we would recommend if you want to get a traditional, classic and perfectly balanced coffee taste regardless of the drink. This works well in both iced lattes and coffee tonics as well as espresso martinis.

Ristretto is slightly more complex and bittersweet in taste, and contains more caffeine. It is therefore usually best for those who want to get a really invigorating iced coffee, but perhaps not so good for those who want to make an espresso martini as a finishing drink during dinner. If you want the opportunity to test yourself and experiment, you can subscribe to us!
