Recipes: Iced Coffee x AeroPress

Its no secret that we are big AeroPress fans here at Avatar Coffee Roasters. It is easy to use, extremely durable, compact and most importantly it can produce some truly exceptional cups of coffee.

In addition to brewing up strong, transparent cups, the recipe can be changed to be brewed over ice for a manual brewed iced coffee.

Our go-to iced AeroPress recipe is developed to be used with the Fellow Prismo attachment.

Quick recipe

Coffee Dose: 20 grams 

Grind Size: Setting 12 to 13 on the Baratza Encore (or 400 to 425 µm)

Water Dose: 100 milliliters + 120 grams of ice in the cup/decanter

Water Temp: 205°F 

Brew Time: 3:30 steep plus an additional ~0:30 seconds to “press” the coffee (4:00 total)

Additional water can be added after brewing to produce a larger cup at lower concentrations. Dilute to your preference.
