5 ) Place the Hario V60 on top of your vessel and begin brewing like usual.

6 ) This time, we’re going to stop pouring water when we reach 300g/ml on the scales (that’s 60% of 500g).

7 ) The coffee is going to be more concentrated because we’ve added less water – this is what we’re looking for.

8 ) We’re going to essentially get the remaining water from the ice which is going to bring our coffee to water ratio back into line once it begins to melt – Genius right!
