How are you brewing? (lemmy.world)

I made a post around a week ago that really took off, and figured we are probably going to see a small spike in activity due to the reddit migration, so I thought we could give it another go!

There are always tons of posts about what beans you are brewing, but my question is HOW are you brewing those beans this week? Sticking to the tried and true v60? Pick up a new Orea and still figuring out the best recipe for it? Pulling some particularly sweet shots on your latest beans haul? Let us know below! What's your brew method of the day/week?

I brew in a Chemex!

I like how I can brew for like 3 people at a time or just myself. Now that it's summer, I've been brewing Mexican Chiapas over ice nearly every morning.

Chemex is still one of my favorites. You first enjoy a meal or drink with your eyes, and the Chemex is easily my most beautiful piece of coffee hardware. I just love the classic look of it.

I've got a chemex and love iced coffee... Talk to me about this "brewing over ice" method?

Basically you just take some portion of the water in your recipe (I usually do 40%, personally) and replace it with ice. So, you're effectively brewing a very short ratio, but diluting it to be the same as your normal concentration. Since your extraction will drop, you may need to grind a little finer or do a little more agitation to compensate.
