Israel's ICE COFFEE war!

Most of them taste similar because they all use the same Kahn's Ice Coffee powder. The difference is what machine they use to mix it. The ones from the soft serve ice cream machines are the best, while the ones from the slushy machines are not as yummy.

I'm not biased though. I will never turn down any type of ice coffee!

I will chime in as I did in a separate post. Although it's really my kids' opinions. They prefer Cofix ice coffee to Katzefet, which makes me happy cuz it's cheap. I like that it's not as large too. I myself would love ice coffee but have a bad annoying irritating ridiculous intolerance for anything dairy, and ice coffee doesn't come in a pareve formula. Luckily, Cofix will make me an iced coffee that is pretty yummy, "al basis soya" (with soy milk instead of regular).

Do they sell the Israeli kind of iced coffee on America? I want one so badly and wondering if maybe it has another name. I don't want a cold coffee with ice cubes.

In kosher stores in heavily Jewish areas -- Boro Park, Lakewood, Baltimore, Chicago -- I've had them in all these places. I'm sure there are others as well. None are as good as the EY ones though.

OK, I think it's time I made a visit to Jerusalem. In my time, the best Ice coffee were Aroma and Cafe Hillel.

Similar to a simple coffee frappucino.

Wait, what? I never knew the one on Ben Yehuda was part of a chain! I clearly need to wander around some of these other neighborhoods. I know what I'll be doing this coming chol hamoed. Smile

Aroma has 'light' ice coffee which is about 120 calories for the smaller cup (its listed on their electronic screen menus). Its the one I usually buy. I don't think it has much fat, as its more water based than the regular.

I'm trying to get back to losing some weight, so lately I try to order קפה קר instead of ice coffee. Its very refreshing, good, freezing coffee, pretty much zero calories if its
על בסיס מים עם חלב רזה.

If your going to sin, do it properly!

Forget the calories and enjoy the real deal Smile

I got an "Ice Kinder" in Coffizz on Shmuel Hanavi yesterday Smile

There is no comparison in America. I got a coffee coollata from Dunkin Donuts a few years ago and it was NOT the same.

Someone in my neighborhood sells the Kahn's ice coffee powder. We should start a business exporting it to the US!
