It took me a few times to get everything in the proportions I wanted, but now it's automatic...and delicious :) Karen Beth, glad you got it worked out.

Anyway, the regular coffee will work fine; I'm assuming that what a place like Dunkin' Donuts uses anyway, and I love their iced coffees.

I don't have one of the Moka devices here. I had one at one time, a nice vintage one but I gave it away. Le sigh... what was I thinking??? But, in the interim before I DO get another one, I've made up a very strong pot of regular coffee, popped it in the fridge and plan to try this delectable treat in the morning. I can't wait! Thanks for the direction! Thanks, Sognatrice! I don’t have one of the Moka devices here. I had one at one time, a nice vintage one but I gave it away. Le sigh… what was I thinking???

You'd also need to find espresso, of course ;)<br/><br/>If not, though, you can still do this with whatever coffee you'd normally drink--I've made it with Folgers, and I like it just fine :) Karen Beth, it’s not a dumb question at all; I’m guessing that most of us who came to Italy had to learn (I sure did); my family never made espresso at home in the States.

Italy :) with this post and this process. I have been craving a way to make some sort of iced coffee concoction at home and this fits the bill. <br/><br/>As for the question I'm about to ask, please bear in mind that I'm not a barrista nor do I have any special coffee knowledge... How does one make espresso? <br/><br/>Please don't pelt me with oranges for asking that. :) You are like an angel straight from … er … Italy :) with this post and this process.
