It doesn’t matter if it’s winter or summer; some of us prefer iced coffee all year round. Unfortunately iced coffee can be more of a pain to make than regular coffee. If it’s cold brewed you have to wait hours for a cup, if it’s warm brewed, you still have to wait a long time for it to chill. If you add ice right after the coffee is brewed, it gets watered down. But now, thanks to a contraption called the HyperChiller, a cup of iced coffee can be yours in one minute — without any dilution.

First you must freeze the HyperChiller. Then, brew fresh coffee from a single serve brewer directly into the HyperChiller. Next, swirl it around every few seconds to allow the coffee to circulate around the HyperChiller. After one minute, the coffee’s temperature will have dropped by as much as 130 degrees. Now all you have to do is pour it over ice and there you have it, a fresh cup of ice cold coffee.

Just think about how much money and time you would save by using the HyperChiller at your home and office. No more trips to Starbucks! No more spending $3 to $4 for each cup of cold brew or iced coffee you buy. Think about all the things you could because of the HyperChiller now that you have that iced coffee and more time and money. Plus, the HyperChiller is a really useful gift for anybody in your life who loves iced coffee.

Starbucks’ pumpkin spice latte is overrated – here’s how to make healthier pumpkin spice coffee drinks at home

Pumpkin spice is delightful, but Starbucks is not

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte

With the return of the pumpkin spice latte in August of every year, the excitement for the fall season is real. The delicious taste of pumpkin spice combined with crisp fall air is the perfect way to kick off the season, creating a nostalgic feeling for many of us.

However, for those looking to cut back on sugar or shed a few pounds, getting into the fall spirit with a Starbucks pumpkin spice drink may not be an option. A classic grande order of a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte contains 390 calories, 52 grams of sugar, and 14 grams of fat. While this is certainly fine as an occasional treat, the hefty sugar content of this drink is alarming. Not only is the sugar content a scare for many, but the price at over $5 a cup is certainly hefty, too.

How to make cold brew coffee (plus, our 3 favorite grounds for cold brew)

Cold brew coffee: Making this popular drink is easier than you think it is

Cold brew ice coffee

I grew up in a house where iced coffee was made by pouring the hours-old leftovers from the coffee pot over a glass of ice. Maybe a little milk was added, or if you were feeling extra fancy, a splash of flavored creamer. Embarrassingly far into adulthood (before Keurig came along and cramped my style), that's how I made my "cold brew." For years, this was how I drank my warm-weather coffee. But oh, did I have it wrong.
But what is cold brew coffee? In case you're unaware, cold brew, real cold brew, is made using an entirely different method than hot coffee. While hot coffee is generally made by running hot water through finely ground coffee beans, to make the tried-and-true drip coffee, cold brew is made more like our grandmothers made sun tea -- set to steep for a while, becoming flavorful and delicious on its own with nothing added but love, water, and time.
The result is a much smoother, silkier, bolder, and more flavorful cup of morning magic. When coffee is steeped this way, much of the bitterness smooths to be much gentler on the palette, allowing you to really taste the flavor of the beans in a whole new way. So how do you make cold brew at home?

Backcountry brew: How to make cowboy coffee that doesn’t suck

What is cowboy coffee? One of our favorite camping traditions

We're overcomplicating coffee-making these days. From Aeropresses and French presses to Chemex pour-over coffee makers and high-end, Bluetooth-enabled espresso machines that cost as much as a used Corolla, there are just too many damn ways to brew a cup oo'joe. It's easy to get lost in the proverbial sauce, thinking that you need to invest hundreds, even thousands, of dollars to make a decent cup of coffee.

But we're firm believers that simpler is often better. When it comes to coffee-making, there is no simpler way than the cowboy coffee method. As the name implies, it's a field-tested process that dates back to, well, ye olden days. Unfortunately, that's as specific as we can get with the timeline because no one's quite sure who first devised it. But we do know that it's simple, and it works. Combine ground coffee and hot water. Add a little bit of time, stirring, and a few dashes of cold water, and you're morning fuel is ready to go.
