☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

Usually, I make around 300mL of iced coffee. Here's how I do it:

  1. Weigh 100g of ice cubes, put in the carafe, and store in the freezer.
  2. I use 18g of medium roasted arabica, and grind it medium coarse (similar to pour over size)
  3. Put the coffee ground in Hario Switch and add 200g of boiled water.
  4. Stir and let it brew for 5 minutes.
  5. Decant the coffee into the carafe (nr. 1).
  6. Give a good stirr until all the ice cube melt, and enjoy it directly or put in the fridge for later.

I hope it helps.

Cold brew is less bitter in my experience. I’ve read that the compounds responsible for the bitter taste are less soluble at lower temperatures. Regardless of whether that’s true, cold brew is definitely less bitter, more sweet. It’s how I got out of the habit of adding sweetener.
