In this recipe

Iced coffee is a wonderful treat on a warm summer day.

Let's brew some cold, delicious coffee on the Chemex®. The versatility of the Chemex® is one of the reasons we recommend it as a brewing device for home.

You can brew hot or cold on the Chemex®! Let's learn to use your Chemex® to make iced coffee.

Directions

  1. Heat water to boiling
  2. Meanwhile, fill Chemex® with 250ml of ice. Yes, we'll need HOT water to make ICED coffee. Funny, right? Well, it's going to be the best way to extract the coffee flavor in such a short period. If you want to make iced coffee without hot water - you're talking cold brew. That's how cold brew coffee is made - with cold water over a longer period of time.
  3. Rinse the filter with hot water. This will help to clean out that unwanted "paper taste"
  4. Place the 36g ground coffee in the filter.
  5. In a spiral motion, add 60ml of water
  6. Add remaining water in 60ml increments
  7. Pour yourself a drink. You can use some of the ice cubes in your cup, too!
