Extraction Concept
This recipe aims to simplify extraction by reducing the processes (variables) involved in the extraction process so that anyone can make delicious iced coffee.
What you need
・Purified water or soft mineral water, ice
・HARIO V60 dripper, paper filter (preferably bleached)
・Coffee server
・Coffee kettle
A coffee scale, smartphone timer, or kitchen scale
·thermometer
Recipe: Light roast ( Click here for recipes for other roast levels)
Serving size: 20g powder / 150ml hot water
Ratio: Coffee powder/water = 1:7~1:8
- Place the dripper, paper, and powder in the server.
・First pour: Start the timer. At the same time, pour 1/3 of the total amount of hot water (150ml ÷ 3 = 50ml) at 95℃ to 93℃.
・After pouring, spin lightly and leave to steam for 40 seconds.
・Second pour: Again, pour 1/3 of the total amount of hot water in a circular motion, spin lightly, and wait 30 seconds.
・3rd pour: Pour in 1/3 of the remaining water and spin lightly. Extraction is complete when it drips all the way through (total 150ml).
- Remove the dripper, put plenty of ice in the server, and stir to cool quickly.
- Once cooled, transfer to a cup and it's ready.
The basic principle of rapid cooling iced coffee is to extract strong coffee that will be diluted with ice.
Spin: Hold the bottom of the dripper and gently shake the whole server in a circular motion. The reason for the spin is to ensure that all the grounds in the dripper come into contact with the hot water evenly.
The taste and concentration are basically adjusted by changing the mesh (particle size) of the powder. For light roasts, start by grinding as finely as possible (medium-fine grind), and if it feels powdery or prickly, gradually grind it coarser.
The key is to cool it quickly with lots of ice after extraction is complete. If you take too long, the flavor will be lost or the ice will melt too much, resulting in a weak coffee. Be generous with the amount of ice you use.
