CoffeetimeTM Brew System creates a concentrate that allows you to add hot or cold
water directly to the cup, much like instant coffee or tea, with all the full-bodied flavor
of a fresh brew. The concentrate is essential for making your favorite coffeehouse
blended drinks, and we have included several tasty recipes.

13 Recipes – Ice Tea
You can make your favorite guilty pleasure healthier, and just as refreshing, as you
would expect from your favorite neighborhood coffeehouse. Cold brewing also has
the health benefit of 65% less acid, which helps reduce heartburn for those with
sensitive stomachs.
14 Recipes – Hot Tea
15 Recipes – Tea Lattes
CoffeetimeTM Brew System is the missing link for making those amazing speciality
drinks at home. To maximize the rich and bold flavor of blended coffee drinks, we
recommend using espresso grounds to make an Ice Blended Mocha (see recipe
on page 12). How strong you make it is based on your personal preference. It’s all
about your desired taste!
At Ronco our goal is to improve the quality of your life. The CoffeetimeTM Brew
System was carefully designed to make everyday more enjoyable and convenient for
you, and to bring the coffeehouse experience home. It is also perfect for your daily
cup of joe at the office, or an afternoon speciality drink.
