10 Brilliant Hacks EVERY Coffee Lovers Should Know
Perk up your mornings with these fast and (dare we say it) genius hacks.
Never drink watered-down coffee again. Freeze a tray of coffee overnight, then in the morning drop six cubes into a cup and pour your milk of choice on top for an ice-cold caffeine boost.

You don't have to go to the coffee shop to add a shot of vanilla (or coconut or caramel!) to your morning beverage. These riffs on simple syrup only call for four ingredients and are so much tastier than plain sugar.
The biggest hassle of making cold brew coffee is trying to strain your concoction after it's done steeping. But the filter in your French press makes that process pretty much obsolete.
All you need is five seconds to make this cold treat. Stir the powdered version of your favorite morning beverage with half and half and syrup for a thick sip — instead of watered-down weakness.
No fancy coffee machine, no problem. All you have to do is shake up milk in a jar to create foam, then give it a quick zap in your microwave to stabilize it.
This hack sadly doesn't come with the foam, but it will brew you up a strong cup, yet small, after dessert beverage that'll hit the spot (trust us).
If you prefer flavored creamer, this DIY cinnamon version tastes just like cinnamon rolls. But since you make a big batch at a time, follow the "use by" date on the sweetened condensed milk to monitor when it will expire.
Freeze milk on top and coffee on bottom for a cup of joe on a stick. This treat is best served on a hot summer afternoon or for a birthday breakfast "dessert."
