This recipe comes from James Hoffmann’s AeroPress video series, and is essentially a scaled-up version of his ultimate technique with ice as bypass. It produces a big cup of icy, juicy iced coffee.
The original recipe yields two cups (~400ml). A single cup version is included below.
For darker roasts, adjust by coarsening the grind, increasing the dose, and dropping the water temperature.
Single Cup
- Coffee: 11g @ fine-medium grind
- Water: 120ml @ 100ºC
- Ice: 80g in the carafe before brewing
| Time | Step |
|---|---|
| 00:00 | Place 80g of ice in the carafe, set up Aeropress on top |
| 00:00 | Pour all 120g of water (~5s) |
| 00:10 | Close the Aeropress |
| 02:00 | Gently swirl |
| 02:30 | Press firmly until air comes out |
| 03:25 | Done — stir to melt remaining ice, serve with additional ice |
Total yield: ~200ml
