About

Hi! My name is James, and I make videos about anything and everything to do with coffee, occasionally food and sometimes business/entrepreneurship. I create how-tos, guides, reviews, vlogs, video essays and mini-documentary films. In the real world, I've started a few companies, I wrote "The World Atlas of Coffee" and "How To Make The Best Coffee At Home". I do a little advisory work for startups too. If you want to get in touch, drop me a line but please read these two things first: 1. I don't do paid reviews. I have a Patreon that helps me buy the products I want to review to prevent bias (then I give them away!) 2. I get a lot of email, so sadly I can't help with queries about which equipment you should buy.

Grind 37.5g of coffee, finer than pour over setting (but not close to espresso fine) 2. Preheat your immersion brewer. 3. Depending on the brewer, either add coffee and then 330g of freshly boiled, clean, soft water (or add water first then coffee after) 4. Make sure all the coffee is mixed with the water and no dry pockets remain 5. Steep for at least 5 minutes (or 4 minutes for darker roasts) 6. Place 170g of ice straight from the freezer into a carafe. 7. Strain the coffee onto the ice 8. Once the brewer has drawn down and finished, stir in any remaining ice. 9. Serve over ice and enjoy! Ratios for Immersion Iced Coffee (Using 75g/L, or about 1:13 as a ratio) 1 Cup: 19g coffee, 165g hot water, 85g ice 2 Cups: 37.5g coffee, 330g hot water, 170g ice 3 Cups: 56.5g coffee, 495g hot water, 255g ice 4 Cups: 75g coffee, 660g hot brew water, 340g ice Important: You have some flexibility on these. They don't need to be super precise. Ice isn't often sized compliantly.
