Does the promise of summer intensify your already intense coffee cravings/caffeine addiction? Same. (In fact, I just walked away from my computer to make a cup of coffee after typing that.) As the weather gets warmer, I get excited to sit in the park with an iced coffee, read on my fire escape with an iced coffee, go to the beach with, you guessed it, an iced coffee. It’s the opposite of green eggs and ham, I guess?
Two stories by my Epicurious colleagues have recently inspired me to upgrade my coffee gear, just in time for this season of increased cold beverage consumption. Last summer senior editor Maggie Hoffman wrote about how the best iced coffee is actually espresso shaken with ice. And just this week Lauren Joseph rounded up some simple, inexpensive ways to upgrade your home coffee setup—including how to froth your milk and keep your coffee cold on the go. Luckily, some of our favorite coffee and espresso tools are on sale this weekend. If you read those stories and were similarly inspired, shop these sales so we can all have a fast-talking, speed-walking, caffeine-fueled summer.
