Cold filter coffee with skim milk is brewed coffee that has been chilled and finished with skim milk. Served over ice, it has a clean coffee aroma and a smoother, lightly creamy texture than black iced coffee; without added sugar or syrup, its roasted, gently bitter notes stay in the foreground.
It is a familiar café-style drink in warm weather and works well at breakfast or as an afternoon pick-me-up. In Turkey, you might choose it as a cold alternative to hot coffee, especially in summer. Unsweetened, it is light in calories, with 17 kcal per 100 g. For a simple pairing, have it with breakfast or a small snack, and skip flavoured syrups if you want to keep the coffee taste bright.

Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Yes. Its caffeine content varies with the beans, brewing strength and serving size, so the name alone cannot tell you how much is in a cup. Choose decaffeinated filter coffee if you want to avoid caffeine.
No. Cold filter coffee is commonly made by chilling hot-brewed filter coffee, while cold brew is steeped in cold water for hours. Cold brew often tastes smoother and less sharp, though the exact flavour depends on the beans.
Brew filter coffee, let it cool completely, then pour it over ice and stir in skim milk. Chilling the coffee before adding the milk keeps the drink cold and avoids melting the ice too quickly.
Not unless you add it or use a sweetened ingredient. Skim milk contains naturally occurring lactose, which gives the drink a little sweetness; check any flavoured syrups or bottled coffee additions for added sugar.
Cool the coffee before serving rather than pouring hot coffee over lots of ice. For a stronger drink that stays flavourful as it melts, freeze some brewed coffee in an ice tray and use those cubes.
Keep it covered and refrigerated, and aim to drink it the same day for the best flavour. Do not leave it sitting out for hours; discard it if the milk separates unusually or the drink smells or tastes off.
Skim milk has less fat than whole milk, so it adds a lighter, less creamy texture and lets the coffee flavour come through more clearly. For a richer mouthfeel, use a little more milk rather than adding sweetener.
Yes, you can replace the skim milk with an unsweetened plant milk, although the result will no longer be the skim-milk version. Oat milk tends to taste creamier, while some nut milks can separate in acidic coffee.
It can fit into a weight-loss eating pattern, especially when you skip syrups and added sugar, but it does not cause weight loss by itself. Replacing a highly sweetened coffee drink with this simpler version can reduce added sugar.
It can, because cooling the coffee does not remove its caffeine. If caffeine makes you restless, have it earlier in the day or choose decaffeinated filter coffee, particularly when drinking it close to bedtime.
