So I've been meaning to get myself a yama brewer, but $200 is just a bit out of reach these days so I wanted to try something different. I took my chemex 6 cup with a paper filter, 25 grams to 400 grams water (I usually dose 28 but wanted to mess with it). Pre-wet the filter then put it into a bucket full of ice and let it cool down instead of pre-heat. poured the water with 195-197 degrees. Let it settle and cool down to ice cold for about 30 minutes and served it. It was delicious!! First I poured a cup 10 minutes in when it was about room temperature and added ice. That cup was much better than the one I didn't have to add ice too. I'm thinking that the ice watering it down a slight bit was the perfect touch, so maybe I needed more water in the beginning. Either way, it was awesome, but I want to hear what you guys think about this method and what I could try differently. Maybe pouring over ice with a hario? What do you think??
