I wanted to share this one with you because it has become such an easy way to make a refreshing iced coffee at home. There’s something satisfying about watching the hot coffee drip straight over a glass full of ice and turn into a chilled drink right away. No waiting around for a full pot of coffee to cool down.

This method gives you a bright, fresh cup with plenty of control over the strength and flavor. With just coffee beans, hot water, ice, and a V60, you can have a chilled coffee ready in about 10 minutes.

This pour over iced coffee is made by brewing freshly ground coffee directly over ice for a quick, refreshing drink. The V60 brings out the clean flavor of the beans, while the ice chills the coffee as it drips, making it ready to serve right away.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x?

• 18 g whole coffee beans
• 300 g water
• Ice as needed

Equipment

• Hario V60 Dripper, 02 size recommended
• Hario V60 Paper Filter or compatible V60-style paper filter
• Gooseneck kettle
• Digital scale
• Timer
• Coffee grinder

Method

 

1. Heat 300 g of water to 93°C (199°F).
2. Weigh 18 g of whole coffee beans for 1 serving using a digital scale.
   
3. Grind the coffee beans using a Kingrinder K6 at 90–95 clicks as a starting point.
   
4. Adjust the grind to taste.
   
5. Place a glass filled with ice under the V60 dripper.
6. Insert a Hario V60 paper filter into the dripper and rinse it thoroughly with hot water. Discard the rinse water while keeping the ice-filled glass underneath.
   
7. Add the 18 g of freshly ground coffee to the filter and gently shake the dripper to level the coffee bed.
   
8. Start the timer and slowly pour 36–45 g of water over the coffee, making sure all the grounds are evenly saturated. Let it bloom for 30–45 seconds.
   
9. Continue pouring in slow, controlled circles until you reach 300 g total water. Aim for a total brew time of 2:45–3:00 minutes.
10. Once all the coffee has finished dripping, add more ice to the glass as needed.
    
11. Gently stir the iced coffee and serve immediately.

Notes

Barista Tip: If the coffee tastes sour or weak, grind a little finer. If it tastes bitter or dries the mouth, grind a little coarser.

Equipment Tip: This recipe works well with Hario equipment, but any compatible V60 dripper and V60-style paper filters from reputable brands can produce similar results.

Make iced coffee with me!

This is the kind of coffee recipe I like having on hand when I want something cold without making the process complicated. The coffee brews directly onto the ice, so there’s no need to wait for it to cool before enjoying it. Once you get comfortable with the pouring speed and grind, you can easily adjust the cup to suit your taste.
