Even with me fudging the timing, my coffee came out amazing! Thank you for sharing such a quick, helpful tutorial.

[@TheBasicBarista]

You just made my day :) I am so glad to hear this! Enjoy

[@NPWIII]

Thank you for this recipe, I appreciate how easy and low cost it is! Most iced coffee recipes I've seen use 30+ grams of coffee and that's too many beans and mg of caffeine to justify for myself only 😅

[@TheBasicBarista]

Thanks for watching! Hahahah I totally understand, maybe my caffeine tolerance is too high 😭

Ice is part of your water-coffee ratio , having 150 grams of ice is a lot. Because the ice is still not melted, so your coffee-water ratio is not good. U have too much coffee grams to water. For an example, I will use 30 g coffee and 150 grams ice and hot water would be 330. That’s a perfect combination so once u finish your last pour , the ice will be almost melted away. Then u can add ice to your cup and drink your coffee with small pours but perfect taste. 🎉

Sick angle, informative such a nice content

Thanks for ur teachings has me I appreciate sir but I had some people saying that wen we are brewing we don't need to swing the beans

[@TheBasicBarista]

Hi Thanks for watching my video. I'm sorry but don't understand what you mean about 'Swing the beans'

[@Cptdng]

The ice just melts too fast. Is that because i use small ice cubes or is the water too hot?

[@asikolicolumbos9017]

Mr BARISTA how many grams did you realse at the end. Don't forget the ice dissolves

[@hasanalishaikh8868]

Hi sir really good video sir i want to know which beans are you using

[@TheBasicBarista]

Hey thanks so much for watching my video. I am not exactly sure what coffee I was using as this was filmed a little while ago. But it shouldn't matter too much, I recommend using a filter roasted coffee 😁

[@ProdenciaTamba]

How many grams of ice sir

[@soulmotivationcoaching]

Kindly leave the procedure in the comments section please

[@myothirihtun3329]

Ice drink in add ice why?

[@fernandocharlesii8678]

why do you spray water on it?

[@TheBasicBarista]

This is called RDT! Check out our article here👇 thebasicbarista.com/blogs/topics/how-rdt-broke-changed-the-game-benefits-and-reasons-why-people-spray-their-coffee-beans?_pos=1&_psq=rdt&_ss=e&_v=1.0

[@hamwarshwany]

So i used the same recipe. At the first sip it is more watery then at the finish the taste come out

[@TheBasicBarista]

hmm I'm not sure how this is possible as the ice melts over time slowly diluting the coffee ... I think your brew may have broken physics. Jokes aside, try grinding a little finer to increase the water - coffee contact time.

[@kilalirobert8628]

Nice

[@TheBasicBarista]

Appreciate this comment, brother!

[@tifangsedrick567]

How many grams of water sir,and which ratio is this thanks for the reply

[@enriquedavalos9106]

150 grams of ice in the jar, and 150 grams of water for the brew.

[@ahmtrublu]

How does it taste. I'm really curious about the taste of poured over coffee.

[@TheBasicBarista]

Pour over coffee tastes very different depending on the beans and brewing style, but if I was to describe pour over coffee to someone who never has tasted it before. Generally, pour over coffee is light, and often described as tea-like. A well brewed pour over coffee has a balance of sweetness, acidity, body (texture of coffee) and flavours. The recipe in this video is for iced pour over coffee and still maintains most of these flavours and characteristics but is super refreshing. I hope this helps answer your question and I hope that you can taste these coffees one day :)

[@ahmtrublu]

@@TheBasicBarista thank you for the beautiful explaination.

[@emankh7772]

Do you recommend the steel filter?

the Aji filter is a better option ;)

[@khaledalali2222]

If I want to make for 2 person, how many grams of coffee, ice and water should I put?

[@TheBasicBarista]

Hey thanks for watching my video! Great question! For 2 cups I like to use 30 grams of coffee beans, 450g water in total divided by 250 Ice and 200 water. Hope this helps :) Happy brewing

[@saj2000d]

How long should it be stored? 😊

[@TheBasicBarista]

Ideally it is best to drink it straight away, If you are looking to store a cold coffee drink it may be worth looking into making a cold brew concentrate. But you should be able to store iced pour over coffee for a week or so, it is just black coffee at the end of the day :) Hope this helps answer your question! Happy brewing

[@Nutdanai135]

Do you still use this recipe? I think with ratio of 1:10 on hot water might be better. 15g coffee:150g hotwater:100g ice. I have to try yours!

[@MohammedAlfattany]

I dont like it light, but I haven’t try 1:10 ration. So is it better than 1:15 ?

[@linusmessi7205]

150ml it's hot or cold water

How many comandante clicks?

[@TheBasicBarista]

Hey mate, thanks for watching my video! I did 22 clicks on the Comandante for this coffee but please keep in mind that the first thing I change when dialling in a new coffee is the grind size so what tastes good for me might be different for you with the coffee you use. Hope this helps ☺️

[@yeahna]

Why the spritz of water, won't that rust your burr or w.e over time

[@TheBasicBarista]

Hey Harley, Thanks for watching and cheers for your comment. The spritz of water adds a tiny amount of moisture to your beans, when you grind coffee the moisture drastically reduces your grinders static retention. This method is called RDT and it will no rust Comandante burrs or add any more wear that grinding with out RDT would cause. This is the best I could answer your question but if you are interested check out the video I linked below, James Hoffman talks a bit more about this method. kzbin.info/www/bejne/imGnmWSNaZV8grs Hope this helps! Cheers

[@DestructionMatter450]

Great video! How fine is the grind? Medium-fine or medium-coarse?

[@TheBasicBarista]

Hey Yousif, I used 22 clicks on the Comandante but I also used the Cafec filters that helped slow down the brew a bit, I recommend starting at a medium grind size and then push towards finer. Especially as you have less water to brew with I found it tastes better with a finer grind rather then more corse. Good luck and always adjust by how it tastes :) Thanks for watching my video!

Wait for ice to melt first

actually the beauty of this recipe is that you don't have to wait! You can serve it and it will be cols in about a minute or so!

[@mahdikyanda1375]

Why do you swall your V60 as you are making it

[@TheBasicBarista]

Thanks for watching! I find it helps to remove the grinds stuck on the wall of the V60 and bring them back down to the bed of coffee. I do this for most of the coffees I brew with however I find it isn't a good idea to do this with coffees that are prone to choking. Hope this helps ❤️ Happy brewing

Am i the only one who doesn’t like the taste of cold brew its sour

[@TheBasicBarista]

Fair enough, have you tried this method before?

[@v.i.simmer288]

High temperature = bitter Less temperature = sour

[@ahmadalqurashi3606]

Do not swirl, I repeat do not swirl, especially at blooming phase.

[@TheBasicBarista]

Haha I guess we just have a different approach to brewing :) I am curious as to why you don't swirl? Is this because of the fines migration? or Increased agitation?

[@ahmadalqurashi3606]

@@TheBasicBarista so my goal is to let the beans breathe when blooming and let it release its gases so that the coffee notes and taste can be more intense and less biter, so swirling at blooming stage wouldn’t be the best, also, water temp plays crucial part in bitterness, the more water temp the more bitter the coffee will be, so the best temp for me is between 85c to 90c. I’m saying that because it’s been 2 years now drinking iced V60 coffee daily. At the end, it’s all preferences so yall keep experimenting and reach your best coffee for you ♥️👍

[@mannykhan7752]

I like coffee but I'm definitely not a coffee snob like this guy

[@FeelingSpicy69]

Why is it sour tasting

[@TheBasicBarista]

If your flash-brewed coffee tastes sour, it's often an indication of under-extraction, which means that not enough of the coffee's flavours have been extracted during brewing. To fix this issue and achieve a more balanced and less sour cup of coffee, you can follow these steps: Adjust the Grind Size: Start by adjusting the grind size of your coffee beans. A finer grind will increase the surface area of the coffee grounds, allowing for more extraction. Try making the grind slightly finer and see if it improves the taste. Increase Brew Time: A flash brew is typically a quick brewing method. If your coffee is too sour, try extending the brew time slightly. Experiment with small increments of time until you find the right balance. Use Hotter Water: Ensure that the water you're using is at the right temperature, usually between 195°F to 205°F (90°C to 96°C). If the water is too cool, it can result in under-extraction and a sour taste. Adjust Coffee-to-Water Ratio: Consider changing the ratio of coffee to water. Using more coffee grounds or less water can help increase extraction. Start with a small adjustment and see how it impacts the flavour. Stir or Agitate: During the brewing process, make sure to stir or agitate the coffee grounds gently to ensure even extraction. This can help distribute the water more evenly and improve flavour consistency. Quality of Coffee Beans: Ensure you're using freshly roasted and high-quality coffee beans. Old or low-quality beans can contribute to off-flavours, including sourness. Experiment: Flash brewing is a precise method, and achieving the perfect balance may require some experimentation. Keep adjusting the variables mentioned above until you find the flavour profile that suits your taste. Remember to take notes during your experiments so you can replicate the successful adjustments in the future. It's all about finding the right combination of factors to achieve the desired flavour in your flash-brewed coffee. I hope this helps!
