Have you seen the viral TikTok videos featuring that cool, dreamy iced drink made with espresso, coconut water, and a fluffy cloud of foam? Yep, it’s called **_cloud coffee_**, and it’s brewing up major buzz as one of summer 2025’s hottest coffee trends. From cozy cafés to brunch menus, this chill brew is taking over everyone’s feed.

This dreamy brew has quickly become the drink of the season, and it’s not hard to see why. So, what exactly is Cloud Coffee, and should you give it a sip? 

Let’s stir things up and find out how to make it at home with a few twists of our own!

## So, What _Is_ Cloud Coffee?

It’s simple. **Cloud coffee** is iced espresso poured over coconut water, then topped with frothed cream or milk. The foam sits on top like a fluffy little cloud. Unlike the whipped Dalgona craze during lockdown, this one uses real espresso and milk or creamer, frothed to create that signature fluffy layer. 

This combo first popped up in some TikTok coffee tutorials, and it’s been trending ever since. People love the tropical twist, the visual layers, and how refreshing it is compared to heavier coffee drinks.

## Why It’s Everywhere

There’s a whole lot to love about this viral beverage. Let’s start with the **tropical vibe**. Coconut water is hydrating, full of potassium, and lightly sweet. It’s basically nature’s Gatorade. Pair that with the rich espresso, and you’ve got a high-energy, low-jitters drink that also happens to look amazing on camera.

Second, It’s refreshing. Coconut water isn’t just trendy. It actually hydrates and gives your iced espresso a light, natural sweetness without needing any extra sugar.

The best part, it **looks gorgeous**. Clear glass, fluffy foam, espresso layers... It’s basically made for Reels.

And It’s **absolutely easy to make**. No fancy barista tools needed. A jar, a frother, or even a whisk works just fine which make It **fun to experiment with**. Once you get the basics down, you can play with flavors, toppings, and sweeteners of your choice.

## How You Can Make It

Ingredients
 
- 1 shot of espresso (or strong instant coffee)

- 8–10 oz ice-cold coconut water

-  2–3 Tbsp cream or plant-based milk

- Optional – a splash of maple or vanilla syrup

## Steps to make it:

1. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the coconut water.

2. Brew your espresso.

3. Froth espresso with cream or milk until light and airy.

4. Gently pour the foam over the coconut water so it floats on top.

5. Stir or sip as-is for full cloud effect.

No espresso machine? No problem. Use instant coffee in a jar with milk, shake until frothy, then add it over the coconut water. Snap a pic. Then sip and smile.

## Fun Twists to Try

Once you’ve nailed the classic version, it’s time to level up. Try these twists:

- Add a splash of **flavored syrup** like hazelnut or vanilla.

- Drop in a bit of **lime zest** for a citrusy punch

- Swap cream for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.

- Want a bubbly version? Try it with sparkling coconut water for your own **cloud coffee spritz**.

- For happy hour, stir in a shot of coffee liqueur—adult cloud coffee, anyone?
