Jill on 2024-03-09 (5 stars): This shaken espresso is so good and so easy! I have been making espresso using a regular drip coffee maker so now that I’m totally addicted to these, I’ve been inspired to buy an espresso maker. Fully invested and in love with this iced coffee!
Thanks Caleb!
Kelly on 2023-05-11 (5 stars): I am a coffee snob, so I was a little suspect of this concept. But to my delight, it is delicious. Something about the vigorous shaking makes it a frothy yummy summer drink. Well done Caleb!
Kelly on 2022-09-09 (5 stars): I’m a bit of a coffee snob (Australian flat white is my fave) so I wasn’t sure about this. But it’s great! Unique twist and I’m doing it every hot summer day.
