My family and I drink pretty much every style of coffee regularly, but the favorite by far is iced coffee brewed hot into ice using a Hario switch. (James Hoffman’s recipe that includes the ice in the recipe). It tastes the best to everyone and it can be made cold in less than 10 minutes (unlike cold brew, which has to be made ahead of time).

The problem I have now is that everyone enjoys it so much that I make a minimum of 6x 500ml batches per week and it’s just labor intensive. All I really need is a machine that does immersion brewing and lets me set a “steep time” after pre infusion. I love my regular coffee machine but it has no mechanism to hold the water in.

Does such a thing exist? I can’t find anything that is not manual. I’ve tried a larger French press with a paper filter but that gets messy quickly. Any suggestions?

Thanks ☕

    Yeah, pretty much. Like this:

    I’m not sure where I originally found the idea, but it works well. Give it a try and see what you think. I think Coffee Chronicler on YouTube mentioned it before, maybe that’s where I found out about it. But he used a cone filter which I found doesn’t work well at all. Grab yourself some basket filters like what’s in the above picture, it makes a big difference.
