My go-to recipe, as a general structure, has been as follows:

0:00 (open) - pour up to 3x the coffee weight
0:30 (open) - pour up to 10x the coffee weight
1:00 (closed) - pour up to 16x the coffee weight
1:45 - open valve and drawdown

I’ve been really enjoying the results from this recipe but would like to try some others too. If anyone has a go-to recipe I’d love to hear about it!

Idk if I've been committing a coffee crime, but I've been doing this for about 6 months now.

18g (preferably light roast) coffee.
Grind at 16 clicks Timemore C2.

00:00 (closed):
pour 350ml water, then coffee, stir
05:00:
Open valve and drawdown

Add 300g ice. Enjoy.

I've tried various grind levels and got similar results. The only change was the drawdown time, but if you factor in the temperature when adding ice, it tastes basically the same. I've yet to do an A/B test and all observations are compared to the previous day's brew.

I don't like hot brews or darker coffee so ymmv :shrug:

    Lance Hedrick’s recipe has water before beans too I think. I’ve done it a few times and it turned out excellent, but the recipe as a whole is a fair bit more complicated so I usually stick with the one I wrote about in the post. Maybe I’ll try your recipe for my afternoon cup today. I haven’t had a good iced coffee in a while.
