079 Iced AeroPress
Ingredients
| 18g | coffee beans |
| 150g | water (hot) |
| 80g | ice (in server) |
| Ice (for serving) |
Grind
| Remi (conventional burrs) | ~2.0 revolutions from zero |
| Lagom Mini 2 (Mizen 48MS) | +11 dots from zero |
Grind finer than hot AeroPress — less water means you need more extraction.
Steps
-
Boil water. Place 80g ice in the server or cup you’ll press into.
-
Grind 18g coffee. Set up the AeroPress inverted (plunger on bottom, chamber on top).
-
Add grounds. Start timer. Pour 150g hot water.
-
Stir 3–4 times. Place the filter cap with a rinsed paper filter on top.
-
At 2:00, flip onto the server and press slowly onto the ice. Stop at the hiss.
-
Swirl to melt remaining ice. Pour over fresh ice in a glass.
Notes
- This is flash-brew — hot concentrate pressed directly onto ice. Same principle as iced pour over but faster.
- The total ratio is about 1:13 (18g coffee to ~230g total liquid). The hot water extracts a concentrate; the ice dilutes to drinking strength.
- Grind finer than your normal AeroPress setting. With less water doing the extraction, you need more surface area.
- For a larger batch (Hoffmann’s method): 22g coffee, 240g hot water, 160g ice. Standard position, no inversion needed.
- For an immersion approach: 19g coffee, 165g hot water, 85g ice. Steep 5 minutes before pressing.
- Adjust for dark roasts: coarsen the grind, increase the dose, drop water temperature.
