What is an Iced Americano?
An Iced Americano at Ungrounded Coffee Roasters is a deliciously refreshing beverage crafted with precision and care. We start by filling a 16oz cup to the brim with ice, ensuring each sip is perfectly chilled. Next, we carefully pour water into the cup, nearly filling it to the top, before adding approximately 2oz of our rich and flavorful espresso.
At Ungrounded Coffee Roasters, we believe in the art of customization. Feel free to personalize your Iced Americano with your choice of milk, sweeteners, or flavor syrups. Our skilled baristas are dedicated to creating the perfect drink tailored to your preferences.

Variations Based on Coffee Bean Profiles:
To suggest variations based on coffee bean profiles from the Ungrounded Coffee website, I'll create hypothetical tasting notes and suggest how they might influence the flavor of your Iced Americano.
Variation 1: Floral Notes
- Bean Profile: Light roast with jasmine and lavender notes.
- Suggestion: The delicate floral notes would add a fragrant twist to the Iced Americano, perfect for a spring morning. You might even garnish with a small sprig of lavender.
Variation 2: Citrusy Brightness
- Bean Profile: Medium roast with hints of citrus, like lemon or bergamot.
- Suggestion: This variation brings a refreshing acidity and brightness, enhancing the crispness of the iced coffee. A twist of lemon peel could accentuate the citrus notes.
Variation 3: Chocolatey Depth
- Bean Profile: Dark roast with deep chocolate and nutty undertones.
- Suggestion: For a richer, more indulgent Iced Americano, this bean variety introduces a smooth chocolatey depth. Pairing well with a cold afternoon, it might be complemented with a dark chocolate stick on the side.
Variation 4: Fruity and Sweet
- Bean Profile: Medium roast with notes of berries and sweet stone fruits.
- Suggestion: This variation adds a natural sweetness and a hint of fruitiness, making for a more playful and vibrant Iced Americano. A few frozen berries could be added for an extra touch of fruit.
