I have a [Bodum Kenya 12 oz.](http://www.bodum.com/us/en-us/shop/detail/10682-01US/) (might be 34 oz too though, I'm not good with ounce.), I wouldn't say that it is a "cheap metallic press", so I should be OK I guess.

<p>I <em>love</em> iced coffee, and usually make it. If you don't know what it is, it is basically adding cola to a brewed coffee. When I brew coffee in my coffee press, there is usually enough space to add cola.</p>

<p>I'm not going to add the cola before it is brewed, but after it is brewed, in order to easily serve it.</p>

<p>Can this damage the container or the press part? (The glass and metal parts)</p>

I've never heard of this , but I'm willing to try it. How much coke do you add?

%30-70, %40-60 or %50-50 is what I do, depending on the beans.

# Can making iced coffee (with cola) on my Coffee Press harm the Press?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-03-21)

I *love* iced coffee, and usually make it. If you don't know what it is, it is basically adding cola to a brewed coffee. When I brew coffee in my coffee press, there is usually enough space to add cola.

I'm not going to add the cola before it is brewed, but after it is brewed, in order to easily serve it.

Can this damage the container or the press part? (The glass and metal parts)
