Typically I’d make a pour over or espresso, but my A/C is out and I can’t even think about hot coffee. What is your favorite way to make iced coffee in a Chemex? I’ve got light roasts from Costa Rica, Burundi, and Ethiopia right now.

I’d also recommend Hoffman’s method, I grind quite a lot finer than I normally do, use closer to 1/11, and bloom for about a minute plus a slower pour.
Also I hold back 2-3 ice cubes and put them directly in my cup after serving. So instead of getting a lot of small almost melted cubes you have a few big ones making it nicer to drink.
I believe it’s because I mostly drink delicate light roasted Ethiopian coffees that are a bit harder to extract for ice coffee.
