It's difficult to imagine giving up my meticulous and personalized cold brew coffee-making routine.

Feel that! 😂 Once you land on a recipe you really enjoy it’s hard to switch to something new. This Japanese iced coffee recipe will definitely bring out some more fruity notes in the coffee.

I am a dark roast lover that is always on the hunt for that chocolate caramel coffee flavor. Did you go down the Dalgona path ever?

Jon Hargreaves

Woah I’ve actually never tried a dalgona! 👀 It looks so tasty and I’d love to try it. From the recipes I’m seeing, it looks like I can make it using instant coffee?

I have used Café Bustelo instant espresso coffee. It is a nice treat vs “coffee”.

That’s awesome! I’m going to get some instant coffee asap to make myself a dalgona. :) Thanks for the recommendation!

Nice! Glad it turned out great. :) Which coffee did you end up using for the brew?

just some blue bottle beans (bright?) - but have a nice bag of hydrangea beans I’d like to try next though!

Anything from Blue Bottle’s a solid choice for this recipe for sure. 👌🏻 I haven’t tried Hydrangea before! 👀 Going to get a bag from them when they update their stock this week.

If you subscribe to their monthly, you get super small batch specialty beans.

Will definitely be subscribing! Thanks for this 🙏🏻

Try doubling the recipe so you have a longer bloom time for longer extraction. Then pour 100g to “flip” the bed of coffee for even extraction. (Save the other half in the fridge for later) I like to do 192°F/ 88.8°C works best with most medium roasts.

Nice! I’m trying this out next time I make an iced pour over 👌🏻

Btw if you want to experiment all different extract ratio and timing, there’s a coffee calculator for that: apps.apple.com/app/id64488947…

This is rad! Experimenting with ratios is always a fun to try out on a new bag of coffee. :) I usually default to 1:16 for my brews.
