Japanese Iced

AeroPress's Japanese-style iced method brews a concentrated hot extraction directly over ice, where immediate chilling preserves volatile aromatics. The result is a bright, complex cold cup rather than a long-steeped cold brew.

Notes

Load the carafe with 100g of ice and press directly onto it, then swirl the carafe until the ice melts. A fine grind and very hot water compensate for the reduced brew-water volume; stir until dilution is uniform, then taste before adding more ice so the cup does not become thin.
