Welcome back to Caleidoscope; come see life through my lens! Special thanks to my mate Jared Chuah for sponsoring this week's video!
If you want to try this out yourself but don't have the equipment like me, you can check out my other video where you can use everyday items to replicate the same result as I have!
• DIY BUDGET Cold Drip T...
Yes another filter coffee video, but this time we're using the cold drip method with icy cold water to extract the flavor out of the coffee!
This method of brewing coffee generally yields a TDS of around 2, meaning that we get a lot of the origin and sweet characteristics of the coffee without the bitterness that is widely associated with coffee in general.

The recipe used in the video:
30g medium-coarse ground coffee (filter roast)
720g Water + Ice
1:24 Ratio
1 drip per second ~ 4 Hour total brew time

a few tips/hacks you can do
1 get a metal Filter {aeropress} that is large enough to fit over the paper filter/rim {Together with a paper filter it will more evenly spread the water}
2 put the entire tower in the fridge or a cooler box, to eliminate the most annoying factor: ambient temperature. {yes tested it myself, and it indeed improves the taste}
3 use a dedicated grinder specifically for cold-drip, that way you always have the PERFECT grind size
4 USE METRIC measurements for everything. from the amount of Coffee to the amount of water and ice.
That way you can get the exact result every time.
make sure to write down everything, from weight, to time it dripped.
{and yes this works, it took me about a 75-100 tries before i got the PERFECT ratio for my tower}.
25 where kinda ruined due ambient temperature being different each time, after i used the coolerbox method, the taste was the same every try.
Thank you so much for this video!! I finally made my own cold dripped coffee. Looking forward to your next videos!
Glad you liked the video, Darren.
I'm happy to hear that you tried your hand at making your own cold drip coffee in a time where we all need to work from home and practice social distancing. Stay safe and remember to stock up on more coffee beans!
Great video!!!
Does the 720g include the ice weight as well? If so what’s the ratio of water and ice? Does that matter?
Thanks for your question, Brandon!
Yes, 720g includes both water and ice weight together.
The ratio of water to ice does not matter, just as long as the water that hits the coffee is cold-ish.
@@caleidoscope3500 The water-ice ratio matters, as this affects the speed the water drips/ice melts.
colder water molecules are larger, meaning it takes longer to drip down.
As for Brandon, what works for Caleidoscope might not work for you, as each person likes a different ratio.
Using metric to write down everything will give the exact same result every time. {at least if you put it in a coolerbox, due ambient temperature being a large factor in taste}
Great video, love it
I found this highly helpful and informative. Amazing stuff. so thankfull pl0x!!
How does the coffee taste? We all want to know
It tastes really good. As this coffee comes from Honduras, you can expect poached pear, maple syrup, and vanilla!
1:49 'glass thinga ma gig' hahaha. It'd be cool to see you taste it at the end! :)
Also, does the coarseness of the coffee grind impact the flavour and what is TDS, does using different types of beans impact this?
