Shoppers praise Amazon's 'easy to use' Breville Iced Coffee Maker for 'delicious' drinks
As the summer season hits full swing, it's hardly surprising that many are ditching their steaming cups of barista-crafted coffee for chilled iced versions. They might come at a premium, but Amazon customers reckon they've stumbled upon the perfect device to craft them in the comfort of your own kitchen.
The Breville Iced Coffee Maker is described as a "single-serve coffee machine that quickly cools concentrated, hot-brewed coffee over ice to deliver tasty iced coffee that's never watered down". This clever piece of kit is priced at £33 and has amassed over 2,000 reviews on the platform, boasting an impressive average score of 4.3 out of 5 stars.
A satisfied customer commented: "Bought this just in time for the warm spring sunshine...best purchase this year. It's a simple machine, and the simplicity of it makes it easy to clean. It is quick and easy to use, and good value for money."
They added: "With the availability of high street coffee shop brands in supermarkets, it is easier to replicate my favourite iced coffees at home."
For those looking for alternatives, Argos offers its Instant Cold Brew Coffee Ice Tea Maker, currently discounted from £80 to £55, enabling true cold brews in just 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, on Amazon, the £18 Beowanzk Iced Coffee Maker also garners praise, with one reviewer calling it 'excellent for making cold brew coffee, reports the Mirror.
The Breville Iced Coffee Maker has garnered acclaim from users who say it makes "easy peasy iced coffee". It has been reviewed on the site over 2,000 times with an average rating of 4.3 stars out of a possible five.
Another reviewer shared: "Bought this as a present for my daughter and she loves it. She says that it's also easy to clean."
Another user enthused: "I love it. Easy to use, makes a delicious iced coffee.
"It's fairly quiet and is done in a matter of a few minutes. I would recommend it."
However, one customer noted the need for ample ice.
They remarked: "It's pretty good for the money and far more convenient than cold brewing for 24 hours in the fridge.
"Although you're really going to need an ice maker to go with it unless you've got space in the freezer for 10 punnets for each serving."
Nonetheless, other buyers were content with their acquisition, as one stated: "For the price, and generally this coffee machine is amazing! So simple, yet effective."
One reviewer praised its versatility: "A very clever idea - doing hot and cold versions of coffee. It's simple, lightweight, easy to clean, and I've owned it for at least two, maybe three years, and it's still working away."
They continued: "No signs of wear or tear at all, but then I can't see anything too technical on it that could go wrong? If it does, I'd just buy another one - excellent value for money."

UN holds emergency talks over sky-high accommodation costs at Cop30 in Brazil
The UN climate bureau has held an urgent meeting about concerns that sky-high rates for accommodation at this year's Cop30 summit in Brazil could price poorer countries out of the negotiations. Brazil is preparing to host Cop30 this November in the rainforest city of Belém, where representatives of nearly every government in the world will gather to negotiate their joint efforts to curb the climate crisis. Concerns about logistics have dogged preparations for the summit. Developing countries have warned they cannot afford Belém's accommodation prices, which have soared amid a shortage of rooms. In an emergency meeting of the UN's 'Cop bureau' on Tuesday, Brazil agreed to address countries' concerns about accommodation and report back at another gathering on 11 August, said Richard Muyungi, the chair of the African Group of Negotiators (AGN), who called the meeting. 'We were assured that we will revisit that … to get assurances on whether the accommodation will be adequate for all delegates,' Muyungi said afterwards. He said African countries wanted to avoid reducing their participation because of the cost, adding: 'We are not ready to cut down the numbers. Brazil has got a lot of options in terms of having a better Cop, a good Cop. So that is why we are pushing that Brazil has to provide better answers, rather than telling us to limit our delegation.' Brazil has faced criticism for its decision to host the conference in a small city in the rainforest rather than in a bigger urban centre that already has the necessary infrastructure and hotel rooms. The country is racing to expand the 18,000 hotel beds usually available in Belém, a coastal city of 1.3 million, to accommodate roughly 45,000 people who are expected to attend Cop30. This month, the Brazilian government said it had secured two cruise ships to provide 6,000 extra beds for delegates. It also opened bookings to developing countries at more affordable nightly rates of up to $220 (£165). That is still above the daily subsistence allowance (DSA) the UN offers some poorer nations to support their participation at Cops. For Belém, that DSA is $149. A diplomat familiar with Tuesday's meeting said complaints about affordability came from both developed and developing countries. Wealthier countries have been told to expect nightly accommodation costs of up to $600 – far higher than at previous Cop meetings. The Panamanian negotiator Juan Carlos Monterrey Gómez said in June that he feared the conference 'might become the most inaccessible Cop in recent memory' and that developing countries, small island states, Indigenous voices and civil society would 'not be adequately represented — if represented at all'. Media organisations, activists, NGOs and charities have also raised fears that they may not be able to participate in the conference if a solution on accommodation costs is not found. In February, the Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, told critics that if hotels were unavailable, they should 'sleep under the stars'. An agenda for Tuesday's meeting confirmed it was convened to address 'operational and logistical preparations for the climate change conference in Belém' and the AGN's concerns on the matter. Sign up to Down to Earth The planet's most important stories. Get all the week's environment news - the good, the bad and the essential after newsletter promotion Brazil's foreign ministry did not reply immediately to a request for comment. Officials organising the Cop30 have made repeated assurances that poorer countries will have access to accommodation they can afford. A spokesperson for the UNFCCC, the United Nations climate body, declined to comment on the meeting. Two UN diplomats showed Reuters quotes they had received from hotels and property managers in Belém for nightly rates of about $700 a person during Cop30. Officials from six governments, including wealthier European countries, said they had not yet secured accommodation because of high prices, and some said they were preparing to reduce their participation. A spokesperson for the Dutch government said it might need to halve its delegation compared with recent Cops, when the Netherlands sent about 90 people during the two-week event including envoys, negotiators and youth representatives. This month, Poland's deputy climate minister, Krzysztof Bolesta, said: 'We don't have accommodation. We'll probably have to cut down the delegation to the bone. In an extreme event, maybe we will have to not show up.'
