Iced coffee season is nearly here, and with it, we are on the hunt for an iced coffee machine that will stand the test of time (and heat). Anna Kendrick has provided a recommendation, and it's a crowd-favorite brand.
The Pitch Perfect and A Simple Favor star has revealed that the best iced coffee maker (in her opinion) is the Keurig K-Brew + Chill machine (available at Keurig). It markets itself as 'the first coffee maker to make iced coffee just as cold as a coffee shop.' Needless to say, we are intrigued.
'I start my morning with a coffee,' Anna told The Strategist. 'Over the last few years, I’ve found myself more and more of an iced coffee girl. Usually, I’d have to run out to get it, especially if I wanted something flavored or interesting. I got this, and it’s so much easier to just make it in my own kitchen. Honestly, any excuse to stay at home is great for me. I really appreciate being able to have my mocha frappe straight out of my kitchen.'
Using QuickChill Technology, this compact coffee maker creates cold beverages that rival ones you would order from a cafe.
Equipped with innovative QuickChill and MultiSteam Technologies, The K-Brew + Chill creates cold coffees in three minutes or less, making it a highly efficient machine. For the bold coffee lovers, the Strong Brew option is a great pick for both hot and iced drinks. Additionally, the brewer comes with an extra-large, removable 70 ounce water reservoir and brews in six, eight, 10, and 12 ounce cup sizes.
We love the compact size and sleek silhouette, which looks handsome on a countertop and is great for small kitchens.

These glasses are inspired by the tactile, natural interiors at Soho Roc House, overlooking the sea in Greece. Each piece has subtle variations in tone and finish, meaning they're all individual. They're made for highballs, but we think they're just as perfect for an iced coffee this summer.
This glass is a statement addition to any dining set. Its textured design knows how to spark a conversation, especially when enjoying iced coffee with friends.
Six brewing modes, a 12-oz capacity, and special over ice concentrate makes this the best drip iced coffee maker on the market. It's tricky to clean, but that's all we can fault.
