I get a ton of questions asking how I make my iced coffee, so here’s a little picture tutorial to demonstrate the process. To brew my coffee, I use a standard auto-drip coffeemaker, which we received as a wedding gift.
- Start with 12 cups of water.
- For 12 cups of water, I use 7 tbsp of ground coffee. If you prefer stronger coffee, use more ground coffee (8 tbsp); less for weaker coffee (6 tbsp). If you have a 10-cup coffeemaker, you could easily adjust these measurements. A good way to determine the coffee grounds to water ratio is 1 tbsp of coffee for every 2 cups of water.

- I typically use heaping spoonfuls of ground coffee because I like my iced coffee strong! 😉
- Brew coffee as you normally would.
- Pour coffee into a pitcher or thermos. If you do not have either of these, you can just put the coffepot itself into the fridge (once its temperature cools a little).
- Chill iced coffee in the refrigerator overnight.
- Pour over ice and enjoy!
