Cafes and coffee shops

Ice is an important ingredient. You need to treat it that way!

Ice is an often overlooked aspect of a cafe or coffee shop business. Ice is just ice right?

As the tastes and trends evolve, ice has become an important ingredient in a wide range of iced and chilled drinks found in cafes and coffee shops. These range from cold extracted/brewed coffee, to iced coolers and blended smoothies and frappes.

Coffee Inspirations

Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, Scotsman Ice’s brand ambassador, has created Coffee Inspirations. A guide to making cold brew coffee using Scotsman ice and a series of cocktail recipes which use cold brew coffee as an ingredient.

Cold Brew Coffee

Cold extracted coffee is becoming a popular addition to a lot of coffee shop menus. It can be prepared in a number of different ways but the cold tower or Chemex methods are two of the most popular as they add a little theatre.

Gourmet Supercube ice is ideal for cold extraction. The ice melts slowly providing enough cold water to slowly drip through the coffee, extracting all of the desired flavours. Supercube ice is very pure. With good water filtration, it has no taste of chlorine or scale which ensures the finished extraction has all the right flavours and no undesirable ones.

Iced Espresso

Do you use a premium coffee to make your espresso?

Why don’t you turn your famous espresso into something cool and refreshing… Gourmet Supercube ice is very hard and has a slow melt rate. These properties make it ideal for rapidly cooling hot espresso without diluting it. Simply adding the right ice to your business will allow you to expand your drinks menu without creating any additional work.

Blended Smoothies & Frappes

Coffee frappes, fruit smoothies, milkshakes and iced coolers. Dice ice is a great ‘universal ice’. It can be produced quickly in a relatively small food print which makes it ideal for small coffee shops.

Dice ice is softer in texture compared to supercubes. As a result it can be blended into drinks quickly and easily producing a smooth, even drink without putting excessive stress on your blender.

SKOPE Refrigeration

SKOPE commercial refrigeration is well suited to cafés and coffee shops where reliable chilled storage, compact footprints and easy access to ingredients are essential during busy service. The range includes undercounter refrigerators, drawer units, upright cabinets and glass-door models, giving operators flexible options for storing milk, dairy alternatives, sandwich ingredients, cakes, bottled drinks and other chilled products close to the point of use.

With robust construction, efficient temperature control and practical features designed for demanding foodservice environments, SKOPE refrigeration can help cafés organise stock more effectively while supporting consistent product quality throughout the day.
