Iced Batch French Press

French Press 8 Cup French press by Blue Bottle Coffee

Blue Bottle's batch iced French press: brew strong and hot, then pour straight over ice to flash-chill. The metal filter keeps the oils and body in the cup, so it holds up to the melting ice far better than an iced pour-over.

Notes

Brew stronger than a hot batch so the coffee still tastes full once the ice melts — noticeably tighter than the usual 1:16 for hot. A medium grind and water just off the boil keep the cup clean without going thin. Pour the pressed batch straight over ice to flash-chill it in one go.
