Interesting. That's the exact ratio I came up with. 20g coffee 200g water seems to melt 100g of ice almost completely. Some chemistry, the more saturated the water becomes the less effective a solvent it is (the less it can extract flavor.) Therefore, as much of the water as possible should go into the grounds, with a minimal amount of unmelted ice at the end.
Hey Tom! It's going to be 38 Degrees Canadian today, I think I might just have to try brewing my second coffee of the day with this Japanese method! Thanks for the great idea. I've become more of an espresso fella since I bought my machine but it is still nice to bring out my aeropress for occasions other than camping.
I don't do it based on a timer, I do it based on the raft/bed, since that's where the advantage of a long steep comes into play. A settled bed in an aeropress will filter out more particulate matter that could otherwise push through the paper filter, resulting in a cleaner cup. The science, the extraction happens quickly and you don't really have a way to know exactly how fast it's happening. As long as you get past the point of peak extraction, you can dial it back through grind and temperature.
Don’t have an Aeropress, but just tried it with a chemex, and the result were extraordinary. This channel is changing my life
Glad it worked in your Chemex! Thanks for the following!

Nice and toasty weather, especially that far North! I hope you enjoy making some AeroPressed JP iced coffee! Let me know how it turns out!
So you don't have a set steep time? I find 2 minutes works well for my Japanese iced coffees through the regular aeropress.
@@edeverick23 I do not. I’ve tried a few different times but I usually prefer it when I flip and press as soon as possible.
