Iced coffee on a coffee maker

When making black iced coffee in a funnel, replace some of the water with ice cubes.

Here's how to do it:
- place 50 grams of filter ground coffee in the filter holder
- fill the coffee flask with 200 grams of ice cubes
- sprinkle 10 grams of sugar over the ice cubes (can be omitted)
- fill the water container with 5 dl of water
- brew the coffee over the flask filled with ice cubes
- watch: remove the flask from the plate on the funnel as soon as the coffee has finished brewing
- stir the flask to dissolve the last of the sugar and ice cubes that have not melted
- serve in glasses with new ice cubes

This recipe yields about 7 dl of iced coffee, enough for four small glasses or two large ones.

This is a basic recipe that can vary depending on the region and type of coffee. Experiment with the amount of coffee and water until you get the flavor you like best.

Hand brew over ice cubes

Hand-brewed iced coffee is based on the recipe you normally use, but you replace some of the water with ice cubes.

Based on a small Kalita brew (250 g), the recipe is as follows:
15 g coffee
100 g ice cubes
150 g freshly boiled water

Fill the flask with ice cubes before brewing. The important thing when making iced coffee is to cool the coffee immediately, so brew it directly over ice instead of adding the ice afterwards.

Brew the hand brew as normal, but keep the water level slightly lower than usual.

Serve the finished brew immediately, in glasses with fresh ice cubes.

Iced coffee with Aeropress

Here is our recipe for iced coffee on Aeropress. The recipe is enough for 1 glass.

You will need:
18 g filter ground coffee
1.5 dl cold water
100 g ice cubes
sugar brine (can be omitted)

Pour the coffee into the Aeopress and start the timer as you pour the water. Stir well and put the plunger on. Let it steep for one minute before pressing the coffee over a glass with ice cubes.

If you want to sweeten your coffee, you can pour a few drops of sugar brine over the ice cubes before brewing. Sugar brine is easily made by mixing sugar and freshly boiled water, which you cool and pour into a suitable bottle.

Cold brew coffee

Cold brew coffee is easy with the Dripster Brew Jar, a glass container with a metal filter and lid.

Use coffee ground in a press pot and calculate between 7-10 g of coffee per dl of water.

Here's how to do it:
- fill the glass with 8 dl of fresh, cold water
- pour ground coffee into the filter and place it in the glass container.

Replace the filter slowly so that the water does not run over the edge. It is important that you add water first, and not water through the coffee and filter.

- screw the lid on tightly
- give the glass container a little "shake" to make sure all the coffee is moistened
- put it in the fridge overnight

Brewing time is 14-16 hours. When the brew is ready, remove the filter. Anything you don't drink straight away can be stored in the container in the fridge for several days.

Tips for flavorings

There's little that beats the pure flavors of a black iced coffee. Still, it's exciting to experiment with sweeteners and flavorings.

For example, a little sugar in a coffee from Colombia can help bring out its natural sweetness. Similarly, a dash of sugar can bring out the fruitiness of an intense and fruity coffee from Kenya even more. Coffee from Ethiopia is fruity and fresh, and tastes exciting with a small squeeze of lemon. You can also try it with orange. Or just a little zest. Some people also top their iced coffee with soda water.
