These brew instructions, like our other recipes, are specifically for a Kalita Wave 185 pour over. But they should work with most pour over devices.
RECIPE
- 22 g Like Summer · Ode Gen 2 setting 4
- 130 g ice — in the server, before brewing
- 220 g filtered water, 96 °C / 205 °F
BUILD
1. Rinse the Kalita 185 filter with hot water. Discard the rinse — do not let it hit your ice.
2. Place the empty dripper on the server. Drop 130 g of clear ice into the server below. Filter back in the dripper. 22 g coffee in. Tap level.
3. Bloom: pour to 60 g. Swirl gently. Wait 45 seconds.
4. Pour to 150 g in slow concentric circles. Reach 150 g at the 1:30 mark.
5. Pour to 220 g, finishing slowly toward the center. Drawdown completes around 2:30 – 3:00 total.
6. Swirl the server to dissolve any remaining ice. Pour over a single large clear cube in a rocks glass. Serve immediately.
NOTES
Japanese iced peaks in the first three minutes. It holds for about an hour, but the aromatics fade fast.
If the drawdown finishes before 2:30, the grind is too coarse — go one click finer. If it's past 3:30, go one click coarser.
96 °C is the upper end. Lower (92–94 °C) gives a sweeter, less aromatic cup — fine, just different.
