does it crush ice? I prepare cold coffee daily using ice cubes any suggestions?

Yes it does but don't expect it to be chunk free. I have my 30 dollar ninja blender for that.

I have not used it in that way but I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem. I would use the processor for that one.

I haven't tried it myself, but I know some folks who have tried heating it up and have said it isn't as good. Just because this is for cold brewing, I would recommend sticking with cold coffee.

The only ice that would fit would small round pieces. it is not a large opening. For iced coffee, I just fill my glass to the top with ice, then fill with coffee. hope this helps.

This machine has a fixed spinning blade that shaves the ice. It does NOT crush ice at all. It produces a fine snow. I hope this helps you.

I haven't had good luck mixing it with cold water. It doesn't seem to dissolve properly. I mix half the water (hot)called for with the needed powder, mix until dissolved then add ice cubes. If more cold water is needed to get to necessary amount I add it.

I am not sure - think I read in manual not to be used to crush ice. Great for making smothies, sauces and chopping veg for soups, etc.

I have not used it with ice cubes. I can't imagine that ice cubes would work as well as the ice forms it comes with. The ice would most likely by more course.

It blends but it doesn't freeze or crush ice to the level it would taste like ice cream to me. They say it does, but it leaves tiny ice particles when blended and frozen.

I wish I could help with an answer, but I have only used hot water...If the ice is in your cup and you are just pressing cool or cold water through, I do not see why it wouldn't work...coffee may be a little weak...

I have found that no matter what purees I've put in this tray to freeze, if I run hot water over them for 30 seconds or sometimes more, or just set them out for a little while, the cubes come out easily. With this tray you don't twist, you just use your finger to push the cubes out. I love it!

I haven't used the " ice feature". The temperature of the coffee is adjustable and can be set very hot.

I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law. I believe you can heat up the cold brew. Also, depending on how strong you like your coffee, you can dilute it with water and heat but do not boil. Technically, if you make it on the strong side, your cold brewed coffee will last longer because you will be diluting it!

No, but it crushes ice great - can't see why it couldn't keep light cracker crumbs moving well enough inside to be crumbed. Make sure everything's dry.

I'm not sure I normally put ice cubes in it before its done maybe sorry I'm not helpful I love the tea maker. the tea maker is great for loose leaf tea and bags too.

Yes, works well for iced coffee and the like... Doesn't do as nice a job on thick things like milkshakes, but you can do it... Will wear on the motor. Had mine over a year and makes my coffees so much tastier.

No , this machine does not make cold coffee. What I do is I make regular coffe which comes out hot in the big cup then poor ice on the top and Ice coffe is served.

Very easy. Top flips up & you fill with ice cubes. When you push top down it automatically engages & spits crushed ice out the front. Love mine! Use daily. Crushes far better than my fridge!
