Diehard fans will be making iced coffee all year round, but even espresso and unadulterated black filter coffee drinkers may even be swayed when the mercury hits 30oc.
In our shops, we've always offered espresso and milk shaken over ice for latte drinkers to revert to on a hot day and even developed a sweet and thick take on the classic shakerato (espresso shaken over ice and finished with orange blossom honey).
An incredibly refreshing option that we've also been refining over the years is iced filter, brewed Japanese-style. Brewed double strength with hot water over ice, rather than being brewed with cold water, it makes for a complex, sweet and fruity cold coffee option with the ability to uplift and revitalise on a hot summers' day.
With a couple of small changes to your regular brewing technique, you'll be able to replicate the iced filter brewing technique we employ in our cafes on your kitchen counter.
