With the first whisper of summer each year, a rattling rumble can be heard across the city. It’s the familiar tinkling of ice cubes against domed takeaway cups. Iced coffee season is here and while we really can’t see the difference between this ‘iced coffee machine’ that’s taking over TikTok, and a regular filter coffee machine, if you’ve simply got to have it, these are our top picks. Our recommendations are dedicated to helping you find the right product at the right price. Things you buy may earn us a commission.
The machine that set this whole scheme in motion, the Kmart iced coffee machine comes with two perspex cups as well as two silicone straws for you enviro-girlies out there. Does it come with any kind of in-built ice machine? No. It does not. But if you call it an iced coffee machine you can absolutely ignore the fact that this is a filter coffee machine but smaller.

This compact little Sunbeam machine is a looker for sure. At just over one kilogram, the Sunbeam Iced Coffee Machine has a surprising 620ml capacity so is punching above its weight. This one comes with one reusable cup and one reusable straw and is also a filter coffee machine that you add your own ice to. Shop here.
If you want to live out your best 1950s diner dreams, don’t look past the Smeg filter coffee machine.

With a ten cup capacity, you’ll be the campus hero when the whole house needs their coffee fix. Shop here.
Our favourite thing about the Breville Aroma Style Drip Filter Coffee Machine is the brew strength feature. At the touch of a button you can get coffee strong enough to defend itself or as subtle as a caffeine caress. Shop here.
