I use a French press! 1 part coffee to 6 parts water—usually 83g coffee to 500ml water. Sometimes I ‘bloom’ with 1:1 hot water before topping off with cold or room-temp, but only if my kettle happens to be boiling. I typically use whatever I have for my V60: usually light roasts, occasionally medium. The latter is definitely the smoothest and most satisfying when served with ice. Anyway, it all goes into the French press, I put the top on with the strainer just touching the surface of the water, and leave it for 12-24 hours. I then run it through a V60 paper filter as I like the cleaner taste while the French press mesh keeps back the grounds. Add equal parts ice or hot water depending on your desire!
I'll have to try with mediums! Just did my first attempt with a very very dark roast, and the flavor is not quite right. I'm sure a medium will do nicely.
