How To Make Iced Coffee

1. Grind.

Grind your beans for your preferred brewing method (powder-fine for espresso, medium-fine for pourover, medium for drip, coarse for French press).

2. Fill Your Brewing Carafe With Ice.

Remember, ice is iced coffee’s necessary evil; work with, not against, its dilutive powers. For pourover and drip, fill your brewing carafe halfway with ice; the brewed coffee will be chilled immediately upon drip.

3. Halve The Water.

That's simple.

4. Brew On Ice.

Brew the coffee using your chosen method—right over the ice with pourover and drip, or as usual with espresso and French press.
