Brewing method

Made using V60 (pour-over). Grind: Medium, often brewed slightly stronger than usual to account for ice dilution.

Descriptive grind labels like this are illustrative starting points, not precise measurements — the same label can mean different particle sizes on different grinders. See the grind size guide for how to dial this in on your own equipment.

Steps

  1. Brew coffee slightly stronger than usual to account for dilution from ice.
  2. Cool briefly, then pour over a full glass of ice.
