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??

I use my 1 liter chemex.  16oz of ice goes in after hot-rinsing the filter.  

 

Add 60g coffee.  Brew with 16oz. of hot water.  

 

Enjoy.
