Making Cold Coffee an Art Form
Making Cold Coffee an Art Form
1. Heat Your Water
Heat at least 250 g water to between 200º and 210ºF.
2. Prepare Your Carafe
Add approximately 75 g of ice to a carafe and set the dripper on top of the carafe.
3. Grind Your Coffee
Grind your coffee to a medium-fine grind — slightly finer than you would for a regular pour over.
4. Bloom Your Grounds
Add your coffee to the filter sitting inside your dripper. Shake gently until level.
Start your timer and scale at zero. Beginning in the center of the grounds, pour a spiral pattern: three laps out then three laps in, until you reach 50 g on the scale.
You’re aiming to finish this pour in 10 seconds.
5. Begin Your First Pour
At 40 seconds, beginning in the center of the grounds, pour a spiral pattern: four laps out then four laps in, until you reach 120 g on the scale.
You’re aiming to finish this pour in 10 seconds.
6. Begin Your Final Pour
At 1:10 mintues, beginning in the center of the grounds, pour a spiral pattern: four laps out then four laps in, until you reach 200 g on the scale.
You’re aiming to finish this pour in 10 seconds.
7. Wait for the Finished Cup
Allow all the water to pass through the dripper into the carafe. Total brew time — depending on coffee, roast level, and grind — can take anywhere from 1:45 to 2:15 mintues.
8. Enjoy
The ice should be fairly melted, diluting coffee to its desired strength. Pour your coffee over a glass with ice and enjoy.
9. A Note
We use one recipe across all coffees as we found this gets us the best extraction. We particularly love this method for highlighting lighter-roasted, more expressive coffees.
