Maxwell House now sells at-home iced lattes with foam (and they’re ridiculously simple to make)

It may sound a little strange at first, but don't knock it 'till you've tried it.

Maxwell House Iced Latte with Foam

Most of us start the day with coffee. Of course we do. It's the only socially acceptable drug of choice that magically transforms us into better, more alert, happier versions of ourselves before we take on hungry kids, agitating co-workers, and the hundreds of tasks we have to accomplish every day. For most of us, coffee isn't a luxury, but an absolute necessity, and honestly, we can't believe no one has yet cracked the code on feeding this beautiful bean juice directly into our veins. Unfortunately, though, as our tastes have evolved, a big pot of homemade black coffee just doesn't cut it for most of us anymore. We want the specialty brews that come from time and skill and general coffee know-how. And those brews too often come with long lines and high price tags. So if you're one of the many for whom an early morning trip to your favorite drive-thru coffee shop is getting to be either too time-consuming or too costly, Maxwell House has some good news.

All about Maxwell House's at-home iced lattes
According to a recent press release from The Kraft Heinz Company, while 31% of coffee shop beverages are served cold, only 7% of coffee consumed at home is iced due to difficulty in recreating a café-style iced latte. So Maxwell House has decided to change those statistics by providing customers with a new way to easily make coffee-shop-style iced lattes at home. No special equipment is necessary. The unique cold-stirred foam technology apparently provides a thick, creamy, and flavorful coffee, all without the use of a café’s specialized equipment. All you need is a glass, cold water, and a spoon. Just stir and enjoy.

This easy fix will help your iced lattes taste even better

Iced latte

We all love a good iced latte. Particularly in the summer months when the mornings are steamy, that chilled caffeine rush is really the only way to start the day. Though, what started out as a once-a-day breakfast caffeine treat has now evolved into something most of us are sipping on constantly throughout the day. Of course, there's the one that gets us out of bed in the morning. But then that 10 a.m. meeting rolls around, and we're desperate for another. Then there's the post-lunch crash when that beautiful iced latte is an absolute requirement, and before we know it, we've crushed several before the day is even close to over. So, there's really no reason we shouldn't be getting the most out of these popular, nay, necessary beverages in all of our doses.

We all know how to make an iced latte, right? Well, as it turns out — not so much. Typically, this simple drink is made by pouring coffee over ice, then topping it with your creamer and/or sweetener of choice, stirring, and sipping. And while that's almost correct, one clever TikToker reveals that it's actually the incorrect way to make an iced latte.

Bialetti Review: This Mini Espresso Made Me Love Making Iced Lattes at Home

review bialetti mini espresso machine for at home coffee bialatelli latte

Recreating the coffee shop drinks that you love at home has always been difficult for me. It's hard to beat the quality of coffee beans and expensive coffee machinery that come from coffee shops. Trust me, I tried changing up the coffee beans, milk types, and different forms of coffee machines. And when businesses were shut down this past year my daily coffee shop visits were halted completely. While I fell in love Dalgona Coffee I preferred something stronger. Luckily, when I discovered this handy espresso machine by Bialetti it became my go-to coffee drink at home.

Bialetti is an Italian brand that was founded by Alfonso Bialetti in the early 1920s. The coffee-making brand produces everything from its own coffee beans to coffee makers and a line of coffee in capsules. It's most popular and well-known item is the Bialetti Moka Coffee Maker. Its simplistic and functional design has made it a staple in kitchens across the world. The Mini Express is a variation of the Moka. I'll dive into what makes it unique and why it's worth adding to your kitchen.
