![]() ![]() A small iced coffee would be about 10 to15 calories for the shot of flavoring. Also, stay clear of "swirls" such as butter pecan, hazelnut, French vanilla, rocky road, cookie dough, and Oreoīest Bets: DD does offer sugar-free versions of the following, if you don't mind artificial sweeteners: Blueberry, Caramel, Coconut, French Vanilla, Hazelnut, Raspberry and Toasted Almond.

Stay away from most of the fancier drinks that are obviously high in calories. DD also has an Oreo and Chips Ahoy Swirl Iced Coffee, which it's promoting as 110 to 340 calories. Also, watch out for those Frosty shakes they're high in calories and should always be considered dessert.īest Bet: Brewed Unsweetened Iced Tea, which has no calories, or a small Honest Tropical Green Tea at 60 calories.ĭD recently launched an iced green tea, which ranges from 5 to 150 calories. They promote the lemonade as somewhat healthy and natural, but all these drinks have added sugar.

If you don't have any of the above options at hand, use your drip coffee maker, but double the amount of coffee you'd regularly used per cup and be sure to have a strong roast when making espresso for this recipe.Best Bet: Order the iced coffee without milk or sugar, or the unsweetened tea. You'd need to buy high-quality finely ground dark roast coffee, and a heaping tablespoon of it is advised per each cup of water. The resulting coffee is smooth and lower in acidity, as advertised by the manufacturers, and can make an espresso shot in less than a minute. The coffee and hot water sit in one chamber, and they're pressed directly into your mug by pushing down by hand. The fancy Aeropress: These are similar in price to well-known brands of French presses.For this method, you'l need at least two tablespoons of strong coffee per cup of water.

By heating the water at the bottom, pressure makes it go up to the coffee chamber where it mixes with the finely ground coffee and ultimately travels to the empty chamber on top. The classic Italian Moka: This beautifully designed coffee maker has three chambers: the bottom is filled with water, the medium chamber holds coffee grounds, and the upper chamber is where the resulting strong coffee will end up.We wish the answer would be as simple as "all you need is water and coffee," but to achieve the closest thing to an espresso you do need one of three appliances-which luckily are not as expensive as an espresso machine:
