Making iced coffee with your French press is fast and delicious. All you need are basic coffee equipment and fresh coffee beans! Get ready to be amazed.
Boil the water. Even though we're making iced coffee, we're still going to brew it hot to ensure we get the most flavor possible.
Weigh 30 g of coffee beans and grind them on a coarse setting. If you regularly make French press coffee, use the same grind setting you normally would for hot coffee.
Add 160 g of ice to the bottom of your French press. We split the total water content between ice and coffee so that we don't wind up with watery coffee by adding ice at the end.
Add the coffee to the French press with the ice.
Pour 60g of near-boiling water over the ice and coffee. This is the bloom phase. Wait for 1 minute.
After 1 minute, pour the rest of the water up to a total of 200 g. Stir the mixture, ensuring all the coffee grounds are evenly wet.
Wait another 3 minutes before plunging the coffee slowly with even pressure.
