ICED
All the clarity of a pour-over, served ice-cold without losing a thing. Brewing hot directly onto ice locks in the bright, vivid flavors that slow cold brew can't quite capture. Fast, refreshing, and a little bit clever.

Brew Method
1
Heat at least 250g of water to 93–99°C. Add approximately 75g of ice to a carafe and set the dripper on top.
2
Grind 20–27g of coffee to a medium-fine setting — slightly finer than a regular pour-over.
3
Add coffee to the filter and shake gently to level. Start your timer. Bloom with a spiral pour (3 laps out, 3 laps in) until you reach 50g on the scale. Aim to finish in 10 seconds.
4
At 40 seconds, begin your first pour in a spiral pattern (4 laps out, 4 laps in) until the scale reads 120g. Finish within 10 seconds.
5
At 1:10, begin your final spiral pour until you reach 200g total. Finish within 10 seconds.
6
Allow all water to pass through the dripper (total brew time: 1:45–2:15 minutes). The ice should be mostly melted — pour over a glass with fresh ice and enjoy.
