Iced Pour-over

Handbrew

Hot on top. Ice underneath.

V60 pour-over dripping hot coffee onto ice cubes in a glass server, condensation forming — Lot | 23 iced pour-over brew guide

An iced pour-over is not just a hot brew you chilled. It is a hot brew that lands directly on ice, cold-shocking the aroma and locking in what would otherwise steam off.

The trick is that some of your water is ice. Around forty percent of the total. You brew stronger than usual, and the melting ice dilutes the cup by the time you sip it.

What you get is the clarity of a filter brew with the temperature of a summer afternoon.
