Iced

by December Dripper for December Dripper original source (prima-coffee.com)

Prima Coffee's guide adapts December's dripper for flash-chilled coffee, using restricted flow to extract a concentrated brew directly over ice. Rapid cooling preserves aroma and seeks a crisp, sweet cup rather than diluted cold coffee.

Notes from December Dripper

Weigh 130g (4.6 oz) into the server and brew with 200g (7.1 oz) at the restricted first setting. Swirl the finished drink until the intended ice has melted, then taste before adding more. Grind finer if chilling leaves the cup weak or tart.

When it's done

It should finish dripping around 2:30. If not, change just one thing in the next cup:

  • Past 3:00? Grind coarser
  • Done before 2:00? Grind finer
  • Bitter or dry? Coarser, or cooler water
  • Sour and thin? Grind finer
