Make your own iced mocha coffee at home, save money and save time because you don’t need to go to the coffee shop to enjoy the deliciousness of this refreshing iced coffee mocha.
I brewed using the American Press manual coffee maker, the new revolution in the coffee making. This is my newest, favorite kitchen tool and as an avid coffee drinker, I have been using American Press every day to make my hot brewed coffee in the morning. I then use the rest as an iced coffee mocha on-the-go, perfect to bring with me on my errands and daily run to the grocery store.
To make the perfect iced coffee mocha:
I added 4 tablespoons of medium coarse coffee in 12 oz of water. I then brewed using the American Press for about 3-4 minutes. Afterward, I poured it into a heat resistant glass, let it cool down, then added 2 tablespoons of homemade chocolate syrup, ice cubes and whipped cream to finish.
It’s American Press is a standout kitchen product for a number of reasons. First, the filtration and pressurization system are superior in design which leads to a tastier cup without the mud of a French Press, or the sediment of other steel filtered coffee presses. Second, it’s flexible to create a perfect cup whether you’re like me and in a hurry, or like my husband who wants to take time to make the perfect cup every time that only a manual coffee maker can do. Third, the American Press has reusable pods which help for a variety of coffees and reduce waste and cleanup. Lastly, is the work put into its design and engineering, which makes it aesthetically pleasing and far less likely to break.
One final note about the American Press coffee maker is that it would also work great for teas. This is exciting news for tea connoisseurs, as the same benefits of an even taste and perfect cup every time will surely help those who drink up everything from green tea to chamomile.You can purchase the product at Amazon.com

This is stunning and now I’m craving coffee at 10:30 p.m.! Pinned and needs to be made ASAP!
Stunning photos! And I love all kind of coffee drink, so this is so going to happen soon. I am thinking of doubling the brew coffee part, make one part into coffee ice cubes, and use that instead of plain water ice cubes to make one epic coffee drink! 🙂
Love your idea! Stronger taste!
This sounds absolutely delicious! I need to get my hands on an American Press! I am an avid tea drinker too (always using loose leaf too) so this would work for tea as well!
We have been making all our own iced coffees and we are saving a fortune on Starbucks. I love a mocha.
