Typically I'd make a pour over or espresso, but my A/C is out and I can't even think about hot coffee. What is your favorite way to make iced coffee in a Chemex? I've got light roasts from Costa Rica, Burundi, and Ethiopia right now.

All of this has made me wonder about doing a hot bloom on my cold brew kit. In other words, pour a small amount of hot water onto the grounds to start with to get some aromatics and nice characteristics, which will filter down quite quickly given the coarse grind, as well as serving to wet the grounds, then set up the cold drip and put it in the fridge. Hmm.......

    Just set this up. 30g coffee, course ground, 50g boiling water poured onto the grounds then a pre-wetted aeropress filter placed on top to help with dispersal. Dripper set up on top with 180g ice (i.e. the ice that I had ready) and 220g cold water set to one drip ever 2 seconds. All put in the fridge. I'll see how it turns out and whether the pre-bloom adds anything.
