Learn how to make iced coffee by brewing hot coffee directly over ice. This simple technique cools your brew instantly.

If you want to know how to make iced coffee without diluting the flavor, this brewing coffee over ice method is the perfect solution. By adjusting your grind size and managing your water ratio, you can create a refreshing cup that captures the full profile of your beans. This video is designed for home baristas who want a reliable iced coffee recipe that avoids the bitterness of cold brew or the watered-down taste of cooling hot coffee in the fridge.

The secret to this coffee brewing technique lies in splitting your water volume. By using one-third of your total water as ice in the carafe, the hot coffee melts the ice as it drips, flash-chilling the liquid immediately. This process locks in the aromatics, resulting in a vibrant and balanced drink. Whether you are using a pour-over setup or a standard drip machine, the principles remain consistent for any Japanese iced coffee style preparation.

ABOUT KONA EARTH: Husband-and-wife team Steve and Joanie Wynn lovingly nurture their 100% Kona coffee from crop to cup, processing on-site, micro-batch roasting to order, and shipping right from the farm for supreme freshness. Prized for its rich flavor and low acidity, Kona coffee is favored by coffee aficionados around the world.

ABOUT THE FARM: Nestled on the tropical slopes of the Hualalai volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island, Kona Earth’s farm grows exceptional private estate, 100% Kona coffee. The temperate climate, rich volcanic soil, and ample rainfall create ideal growing conditions for producing some of the finest coffee on the planet. A couple of things that make Kona Earth special:
⦁ We nurture our coffee from seed to sip on our family farm in Hawaii.
⦁ We never use glyphosate (Roundup) on our trees, better for the bees, better for the trees.
⦁ We process on-site – handpicking the cherry, wet milling it to remove the pulp, then sun-drying it on our drying deck.
⦁ We roast in small batches and ship our coffee farm-direct.
⦁ We ship whole-bean coffee so our customers have the ultimate control over the grind setting tailored to their preferred brewing method. Whole-bean coffee also preserves freshness longer.
⦁ We give back to local non-profits with our Care In Every Cup program.
