By the specs

Espresso machines for iced coffee, by the specs.

2 min readUpdated November 1, 2026

The short answer

Any espresso machine can pour a shot over ice, but some list a dedicated cold function that brews at a lower temperature. By the specs, the De’Longhi Magnifica Duo (cold extraction in under 3 minutes), the Breville Oracle Jet (Cold Brew and Cold Espresso), the Breville Barista Touch Impress and the Ninja Luxe Café Premier and Pro list one. The Philips 5500, the De’Longhi Magnifica Evo and the Ninja Mini Plus offer iced recipes instead.

What to look for.

  1. A cold function, or just ice

    Cold brew, cold extraction and cold-pressed espresso brew at a lower temperature, as the brands describe them. An iced recipe brews hot and pours over ice.

  2. Speed

    Traditional cold brew takes hours. The Magnifica Duo lists cold extraction in under 3 minutes; Ninja lists fast cold brew on the Pro.

  3. Milk for iced lattes

    The Magnifica Duo lists hot and cool milk foam with LatteCrema. Check the milk line on each product page.

  4. Drip coffee over ice

    The Ninja Luxe Café machines also brew drip coffee, including over ice.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can any espresso machine make iced coffee?

Yes: pull a shot and pour it over ice. The machines here list a cold function or iced recipes, so the drink is planned for ice from the start.

What is cold-pressed espresso?

As Ninja describes it, espresso brewed at a lower temperature, pressure and pace, for iced drinks such as espresso martinis and iced lattes.

Which one is fastest for cold brew?

The De’Longhi Magnifica Duo lists cold extraction in under 3 minutes. Ninja lists fast cold brew on the Luxe Café Pro without giving a time.

Do you test these machines?

No. We compare the specifications each model publishes in its Amazon listing and, where the listing is silent, on the manufacturer’s official website. We do not rank machines by our own tests, and we never show borrowed ratings.
