<ul>
<li>Most places: cold brew coffee, black with ice</li>
<li>If they don't have cold brew: Iced Americano, black<br />
I like coffees with fruity tasting notes the most.</li>

<h3 id="coldbrew"><a href="#coldbrew">Cold Brew Coffee Recipe</a></h3>
<p>I use the <a href="https://www.oxo.com/cold-brew-coffee-maker.html">OXO Cold Brew Maker</a> and make my cold brew at a 1:8 ratio, which is basically double strength. That means that whatever amount of coffee I use, I use eight times that amount of water. For drinking, I dilute with about half cold brew and half water. </p>
<h4 id="directions">Directions</h4>
<ol>
<li>Grind 5oz of coffee at the coarsest setting and put it in the cold brewing container.</li>
<li>Pour in 40oz of water and stir a little.</li>
<li>Leave it on the counter to brew for 24 hours. There's some wiggle room with the time, but 24 hours is usually the best. I find the magic starts to happen at around 20 hours of brew time. </li>
<li>When it's finished brewing, strain out the coffee (with the dripper valve if you're using the oxo brewer) and put the finished cold brew coffee in the refrigerator. </li>
<li>This cold brew is double strength, so mix even amounts of it with water for drinking. </li>
</ol>

<h3 id="icedpourover"><a href="#icedpourover">Iced Pour-Over Coffee Recipe</a></h3>
<p>This recipe is from this <a href="https://fellowproducts.com/blogs/brew-talks/fellows-take-on-the-future-grape-soda-black-white">Fellow Brew Guide</a>(<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250619224111/https://fellowproducts.com/blogs/brew-talks/fellows-take-on-the-future-grape-soda-black-white">archive</a>). After ordering the coffee it's written for, I started trying the iced recipe right away, to be ready for when those special coffee beans arrived. I really liked the recipe, and kept using it for iced coffee when I didn't have cold brew ready but wanted something iced. </p>
<p><strong>Supplies</strong>: Flat-bottom dripper(I use Stagg XF) with a paper filter and a carafe</p>
<ul>
<li>25g coffee, ground at medium setting (4 on Ode Gen 2)</li>
<li>125g ice in carafe (I sometimes pour 125g water into my carafe in the morning and put it in the freezer, and it's frozen by the afternoon.)</li>
<li>250g of hot water, 202°F</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Put 125g ice into the carafe.</li>
<li>Put the ground coffee into a paper filter, and put the filter in the dripper.</li>
<li>Put the dripper on top of the carafe which has the ice in it.</li>
<li>Put everything on top of the scale and zero/tare the scale.</li>
<li>To bloom, pour the hot water to <strong>75g</strong> and wait 45 seconds.</li>
<li>Pour to <strong>160g</strong> and wait for it to be mostly drained.</li>
<li>Pour to <strong>250g</strong> and swirl it when it's not too close to the top of the filter.</li>
<li>Wait for the coffee to finish dripping, then remove the dripper.</li>
<li>Swirl the carafe until all of the ice is melted. The coffee should be cold now.</li>
<li>Pour over fresh ice to serve.</li>
</ol>
