Make specialty iced coffee right at home using the flash-chilling method.

  • Stop making iced coffee from stale, leftover coffee batches.
  • One of the best ways to make iced coffee is to use the flash-chilling method or Japanese style.
  • This iced coffee making method will harness the bright, crisp, and aromatic flavors of the original coffee beans.

Though summer is nearing its end, there’s still plenty of time for iced coffee beverages. But instead of buying iced coffee or using old coffee to make your own at home, there’s a new iced coffee brewing method known as the flash-chilling method.

This brewing method uses a technique of extracting coffee with hot water and then bringing it down to a low temperature in a quick fashion. It’s not hard, and the result is amazing, full-flavored iced coffee. Read on to see how to do it for yourself at home.

View the flash-chilled iced coffee tutorial here:

Coffee does go stale, which is why you should avoid using old coffee for iced coffee batches.


A lot of people don’t think much about it, but coffee can and does go bad. As soon as 30 minutes after you’ve brewed a batch, it starts to go stale. The reason is because coffee continues to oxidize even after it’s been brewed. This just means that the flavors start to deteriorate.

So if you thought that you could use your leftover coffee from the morning to make an iced coffee, think again. It won’t have the natural aromas of the original beans as it cools over time.

The flash-chilling method, alternatively, harnesses the bright, crisp, and aromatic flavors of the original coffee beans.

Use freshly roasted coffee beans.

So now that you’ve avoided using stale coffee, it’s also essential to avoid using stale beans. Surprisingly, coffee beans are perishable and go bad about one to two weeks after they’ve been roasted. They will deteriorate even faster if the coffee beans are not properly stored.

Best case scenario, you want to use freshly roasted coffee beans. This will ensure a flavorful batch of iced coffee.

You can use any type of pour over brewer for this method.

Any pour over brewer will work for the flash-chilling method. Examples include the Hario V60, the ORIGAMI Dripper, the Kalita Wave, and Chemex.

If you decide to go with Chemex, you can actually put the ice cubes directly in the vessel and brew the hot coffee over the cubes (it also looks really cool!).

Use a medium grind for your coffee grounds.

Just like in brewing pour over coffee, you’ll want to use a medium grind or a medium-coarse grind to get the right extraction. If you go any finer, you risk over-extracting, which could lead to an overly bitter cup of coffee. If you grind your beans too coarse, you may end up with an under-extracted coffee that tastes watery.

Going somewhere in-between will be your best bet for the most flavorful flash-chilled iced coffee. The grinds will look similar to coarse or rough sand. For more help on proper grinding technique, check out this coffee grinding article.

A digital scale will make the process go much smoother.

To save you great pains of calculations and figuring out how many grams are in a cup, it’s in your best interest to use a digital scale for this iced coffee brew method (and all pour over methods).

Currently, I use Hario’s digital scale, and I have no complaints. I’ve had it for over a year now, and it still works beautifully. It is a bit pricey, so if you’re not able to splurge, there are other food scale options that would work equally as well.

How To Make Flash-Chilled Iced Coffee

Yields1 ServingDifficultyBeginnerRating

SaveEmail

flash-chilling iced coffee with plants in background

 1 pour over brewer i.e. Chemex, Hario V60, Origami, etc.
 1 food scale or drip coffee scale
 30 g coffee grounds (medium to medium-coarse grind size)
 230 g filtered water
 150 g ice cubes
 2 tbsp milk (if desired)

Instructions
1

Begin to boil your water or until it reaches a temperature between 195 and 205 F. Next, grind your whole beans to a medium-fine grind (should resemble the size of granulated table salt) using a hand grinder or an automatic bean grinder.

2

Insert a paper (or cotton) filter into your pour over vessel. Begin by warming the brewing vessel by wetting the filter with warm/hot water.

3

Place a large mug/cup underneath the brewing vessel to catch the coffee (if using Chemex, no mug required). Add all of the ice cubes to the large cup/mug. If using a Chemex, remove the paper filter in order to add the ice cubes to the bottom of the Chemex, and place the filter back on the top.

4

Place coffee grounds into the filter. Grab kettle (or whatever is housing your hot water) and slowly pour about 80 grams of water evenly over the grounds in a spiral motion. Let rest for 30 seconds.

5

Gently pour more hot water in small circles over your bed of coffee up to 100 grams.

6

Continue to slowly pour the remaining 100 grams of water over the grounds. Finish your last pour around the edge of the filter to wash down any lingering grounds.⁣⁣⁣⁣ Give it swirl to combine.

7

Grab a glass or coffee mug and place more ice cubes inside the cup. Pour the coffee immediately over the ice cubes. Enjoy!

Iced Oat Milk Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe

Pumpkin spice mixture:
½ cup oat milk (barista blend if possible)
⅓ cup brown sugar (white is okay too)
2 tsp pumpkin puree
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 
1 tsp vanilla extract
Latte
2 shots of espresso
1 cup oat milk 
1 tbsp pumpkin spice mixture
½ cup whipped cream (optional)
2 ice cubes (if enjoying cold)

Pumpkin spice mixture:
1. In a small sauce pan, add oat milk, sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to medium heat and whisk ingredients together until sugar is dissolved. Do not let it boil.
2. Once the mixture starts to steam and the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla. Strain through a fine mesh filter into a glass jar for easy storage.
Latte:
3. Pull your espresso shots, and pour inside your desired coffee mug. Add the strained pumpkin spice mixture to the espresso and stir well.
4. If enjoying warm (skip to next step if enjoying iced), steam your milk using a steam wand, milk frother, or mason jar (see post above to make foam without a frother) until foamy. Pour velvety milk on top of the espresso mixture.
5. For iced pumpkin spice lattes, add 2 to 3 ice cubes or cold brew coffee cubes to your mixture.
6. Top with whipped cream, if desired, and dust with pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!

There’s something quiet and grounding about sipp There’s something quiet and grounding about sipping coffee in the open air.

This week on the blog, we’re sharing a thoughtful guest post all about coffee and the outdoors—from trailside brews to simple backyard mornings. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes the best coffee moments happen far from the kitchen.

Take a moment to read, reflect, and maybe plan your next outdoor sip.

Where do you love to enjoy your coffee when the sky’s the ceiling?
