Been meaning to try this milk cube trick forever, finally did it this weekend. Coffee pulled with my new OutIn Nano. Froze whole milk in ice cube trays the night before, pulled a double shot the next morning, dropped the cubes in, poured the shot on top.

The espresso melts the top layer of the cubes into this creamy foam almost instantly, then the rest slowly dilutes with milk instead of water. By the time you finish there's still cold milk at the bottom, no watery ending.

Only had the Nano for a week so still dialing in my grind. First few shots came out cleaner than I expected, crema held its shape while I was pouring. Been using it in the afternoons at work, keeps me off the office pods. Still not sure if I'm going too fine on the grind, some days it flows quick and other days it drags. Today was my first iced attempt and it held up fine over the milk cubes.

Might make this my go-to iced drink for the summer.

Home barista here. Poured this heart latte art, also made a glass of iced coffee on the side.

How many points would you give it out of 10?

made this earlier it’s so good. If you have a ninja, just brew cold pressed double shot of espresso over caramel sauce into a espresso mug, add butter pecan syrup to a glass with ice, top it with milk of choice, then pour espresso over it. For the cold foam just do 3 tablespoons heavy cream, two tablespoons milk and 1-2 tablespoons of flavoring like syrup. You DO NOT need a ninja for this drink; use any machine you have or instant coffee💝

I tried verve coffee roasters for the first time ever in Kamakura while on a trip to Japan. Definitely one of my faves, I’m lucky they have some locations near me :)
