If you already have a hand brewer, you can easily brew your coffee over ice cubes. Here we teach you how to hand-brew iced coffee the way we do it in our concept store in Mathallen Oslo.
Recipe for hand-brewed iced coffee
The coffee dosage is the same as for hot coffee, the difference here is that you replace some of the water with ice.
So if we start with a small Kalita brew (250 g), the recipe is as follows:
- 15 g coffee
- 100 g is
- 150 g water
Rinse filter as usual, pour in the coffee. Fill the jug with 100 g of ice. 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 as normal, but keep the water level slightly lower than usual. Pour up to 150 g of water.
Serve the finished brew over fresh ice cubes, as the ice cubes in the jug may have melted away by the end of the brewing time.

Which coffee should you choose?
It's a matter of taste and preference what kind of coffee tastes best as an iced drink - just try it out. This year's summer coffees from Ethiopia and Kenya are particularly suitable as black iced coffee, while this year's summer coffee from El Salvador is excellent in iced drinks with milk.
