Great recipe, I just tried it! Excellent!!!! DO NOT... I repeat DO NOT skip vigorously shaking it, adds great texture. We'll done!

[@espen_rud]

I feel honored!

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

[@angelsilva4507]

+Espen Ruud that cool dude

[@alexanderjosephbuck]

Espen Rules!

[@kooshballinator]

This has been my favorite iced coffee recipe recently!! Thanks so much for sharing :)

[@alexbohlman8572]

Just made this and absolutely love it! the froth and texture you get from shaking it is awesome. a new favorite for sure

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Woohoo!

[@sethbarnz]

Gail just brightens my day everytime.

[@wyldeslash2003]

Holy heck…. Just tried it and it was pretty darn good!

[@menspa2471]

Freddo espresso from Greece!!!

[@JosephDexter]

Gail's definition of a "little half and half" is way different than mine.... :)

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+Joe Dexter haha ;D

[@ericpmoss]

The pre-heating of the filter with nearly boiling water also rinses any nasty flavors out of the filter itself. Taste hot water poured through your filter to see if you need to do it. BTW, the shaking to aerate works wonders if you put the dairy in first. It oxygenates the milk and really improves creaminess, too.

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Mmmmm creaminess :D

[@northwestprof60]

seriously? Do you listen to yourself? Go look up pretentious in the dictionary.....If there are nasty flavors or chemicals in the treated filter paper, you're not going to get rid of them by rinsing them with hot water. Shouldn't it be glacier water carried only by a 5th degree Buddhist Monk that has been blessed 37 times on the "Trail of Perfection?" Get over yourselves, people.....Must everyone pretend they're Frasier Crane?

[@ericpmoss]

Oh, fuck off. I did the experiment with a dozen other people and all of us tasted and smelled the difference.

[@jakeross1909]

Yeah- Michael probably brews Folgers- so all his coffee tastes like chemicals.

[@bpeppers1]

[@ingebjoerg]

yaaay. Espen is a friend of mine ! he is SO making that for next time i comes over!!

[@spectrum_electrum]

Freddo Aeropresso!! Greetings from Greece 😊

[@austinwienand8876]

Hey Gale! Blending coconut oil and butter into your coffee makes for a smoother brew and longer lasting caffeine effects. I believe buzzfeed has a video on it. You should try it in your next coffee collaboration video. Keep it up your videos are great!

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+Austin Wienand Thanks for the support! We have heard of this... might give it a try! Cheers!

[@irisma9302]

Gail is fabulous!

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Aww shucks! Thanks for watching!

[@jamezday]

Finally someone that doesn't use the inverted method to make iced coffee!

[@coolj7086]

This is the Greek idea of freddo espresso. Freddo aeropresso😂

[@MATADOR33]

I don't normally have iced coffee but it does seem interesting and tasty

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+James W Dorsett Give it a try! It's wonderful!

[@ericpmoss]

Yes... yes, it is. :) My new way (because I hate getting up early enough to prepare it) is to brew it into a frothing pitcher and freeze it the night before. In the morning, pour milk in the pitcher and head to work. It stays cold in Chicago summers, and gets stronger as the coffee ice melts.

[@bdr1414TV]

how does it feel to use the metric system

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+bdr hsin So good! ;D

[@cardsforhumanity]

Well that's nice

[@fernandosricardocsca51]

its really nice and good idea

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

So tasty!

[@fernandosricardocsca51]

I have your recipe tried and really tasty 😘

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Love it!

[@GaearGrimsrudd]

Hi Gail, can you tell the difference between decaf and regular coffee?

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+GaearGrimsrudd Hello! As in the taste? Or the effects of caffeine?

[@GaearGrimsrudd]

+Seattle Coffee Gear mainly taste. I drink mainly decaf because I'm sensitive to caffeine. I feel I'm missing out on lots of flavor. What do you think?

[@kaytaheri9597]

very interested to know what’s your scale brand and model? if you mention or reply pleaes

[@Alexander-02]

that looks yummy

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

[@jonahhurst8914]

Try a French pressed coffee with 1/2 TSP Baking Cocoa powder to 4 TBSP coarsely ground coffee (Brazilian is my choice) to 12 ounces of water!

[@heyjude4485]

What do you call that drink?

[@shanash1]

Gail=coffee hero :)

[@skezobruh]

pretty good even though i used a light roast!

[@valukinaa]

Cool drink. But i will wait a summer :-)

[@SPOILER750]

I do the same thing but with a bialetti......and caramel flavor

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+Tony Maz Ooooo. Tell us more?

[@SPOILER750]

Make the coffee in your bialetti (super strong) then shake with ice in a shaker. Pour over ice. I like a flavored creamer. Basically the same thing you just did. 😉

[@engin3ar]

Looks great but so much milk added, wow.

[@1timby]

Add some sweetened condensed milk would make it better...LOL

[@heyjude4485]

How many did you add?

[@melatonin12]

Make viet coffee with a phin

[@edwinchomusic]

This is pretty much my recipe, down to the Supersonic Kenya Gachatha AA!

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+edwinchomusic Awesome. The Gachatha AA is so good iced! Cheers!

[@bserieshatch1]

Should've added the dairy prior to shaking. IMO.

[@ConnorBright]

I either did not put enough ice in or my measured 100ml wasn't correct because my coffee yielded a smaller amount.

[@MegaRightly]

I was wondering if she didn't actually use the normal 200ml and forget to say because yeah, that's way more

[@Computer7th]

Freeze any left over coffee you have. Use those for your iced coffee! Great channel!

[@alirida7409]

I only have access to small ice cubes. What weight of ice should I use in this recipe?

[@espen_rud]

No exact measure, just trust your gut and if needed, ajust the next time🙂

[@Mulerider4Life]

Can best and iced coffee be in the same sentence? Lol just kidding, but I will always drink mine hot and black.

[@nthnmc]

Haha. I was cringing, just waiting for the glass to flip out from underneath the AeroPress and go everywhere when it was on that scale.

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+nthnmc Haha it has been known to happen! Cheers!

[@puppyradio4887]

My method is one that makes a fantastic morning coffee, but takes more preparation. Technically more of a cold brew than an iced coffee, but again is ideal for summer. Of an evening I have the Aeropress set up on a double walled glass in standard orientation with a paper filter. Add in about 25g of medium coarse ground coffee. I tend to use a fair trade Yirgacheffe, but this works well with most varietals I've tested with. Then place the filter on top and add in a dozen ice cubes. I've guesstimated that my ice cube tray is about 230mL of room temperature water to produce a dozen ice cubes. I let this sit overnight and let the ice melt and drip through. This ends up with about 200mL of coffee in the morning, and nicely cool. Add in another couple ice blocks, and drink unsweetened and without milk. This retains the sweetness and aromatic nature of the coffee, and is has a high intensity of flavour without adding any bitterness. And I apologise for those that prefer imperial measurements, but as you may guess from my spelling of "apologise", I'm more familiar with metric.

[@c.leotaylor7350]

I'd be intrigued to see what happens if you add a tiny amount of Xanthan gum powder just before shaking it. I plan to experiment with xanthan "no milk lattes" shortly via the Aeropress and I have a particularly citrus idea in mind! (ref to original Xanthan idea) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2LLcqmKoKqphrc

[@ExtraordinaryLiving]

Shakened iced coffee? Starbucks has been selling it for nearly 10 years, and it is not an "off-the-menu" item. They started it when I was a barista there.

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

+ExtraordinaryLiving But you can make this at home! :D Thanks for watching!

[@northwestprof60]

These guys are hilarious. Aeropress is basically a syringe that is the size used on elephants, with huge rubber flanges and seals. But these pretend scientists use weights and specifications as if they're working on delicate machinery somewhere in-between the Space Shuttle and the Hubbell Telescope! Look, people, an aeropress is a good tool for making coffee, and I have used one for a long time, but pretending that, somehow, metric measurements are needed because it is SO sophisticated is laughable. "Tareing it out?" You got to be kidding. Hilarious stuff.

[@jakeross1909]

The measurements come from the coffee brewing process and have nothing to do with the AeroPress method per se. No matter if you are using a french press, chemex, or an espresso machine- the best results will be found by measuring your coffee and water. Sure you can eye ball and get something drinkable, but when a baker goes to make a cake- you can sure as hell bet they will measure the ingredients. Also, don't be such a dick- it is unattractive.

[@thomasjessen]

Michael McKenzie I would strongly suggest you spend your time doing something different than watching videos you don't like.

[@navinraju]

If you’ve ever tried making a pour over cup a coffee without a scale, a timer, and a kettle that doesn’t give you a temperature range you’ll see that you can make drastically different cups of coffee (some that are just awful). I agree it’s over kill on an Aeropress but once you develop the habit of measuring your water and beans to try and replicate your ideal cup of coffee, it becomes second nature even when you’re making drip coffee.

[@fukushimadaichi415]

Michael McKenzie It actually helps you tweak it till you get the right variables that work for you.
