fabnsab Posted June 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I drink 3 iced coffees a day. Ok, maybe 4...we are on a 9 day Mediterranean on Connie in sept. How easy will it be for me to make my own iced coffee or do I need to do the el Bacio route? Any tricks from fellow iced coffee addicts? Last time I cruised, I wasn’t a coffee drinker at all!

Result: a delicious iced-coffee drink. Edited June 26, 2019 by varoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA_Cruzing Posted June 26, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Real addicts come prepared. Bring your own fine grinds and enjoy. Sandwich ziplocks work best for your ground coffee.

Even at El Bacio, when I ask for an iced tea, they make it hot first and then pour it into a cup filled with ice. Not sure it will be different for iced coffee?

GastroGnome Posted June 26, 2019 #9 Share Posted June 26, 2019 If you want to make something like ices espresso you are probably better off with CA's suggestion. But I like strong black coffee too and I find a double espresso over 3 cubes of ice is fine. If you want something a bit longer try adding soda! (As in soda water - not a can of coke. Although that might work too...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less acid and it's strong enough to take ice and not get watered down. No cold brew available on the ships, so it's gonna have to be double espresso over ice(thank you @GastroGnome!)
