YES. Well, the measurement for the LIQUID is in what the Bodum’s Columbia’s maximum capacity is measured in, which I assume is fluid ounces. For the ground coffee, it is the measurement listed on the container/pack and the weight measurement using the digital scale. So when I say 5 ounces, I mean either half the brick of coffee (usually 10ounces is the brick) or 5oz measured on the digital scale, which is the same.

Are your measurements fluid oz for the water and weight for the coffee?

I am sitting here now with my iced coffee. Made it double strength as you suggested and for the first time it came out great with out having to sit it out in the snow for 4 hours. Added some milk and sugar and it’s just as good as the stuff I have been buying. A whole new world of iced coffee has been opened up before me.

Who knew I was missing such a simple step all these years to making iced coffee.

I like to use sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar and milk independently. It’ll thicken up the consistency a bit as well.

Mimi using my method you can use real ice and not frozen coffee… this stuff is VERY strong without it.

For stronger, undiluted coffee, brew extra coffee and freeze in ice cube trays.Then use those to chill the already cold coffee. Also to sweeten, prepare a simple syrup of sugar cooked in water until it dissolves and begins to form a light syrup. Chill and present with coffee.

You can do it over cubes just fine but crushed melts quicker. Remember this coffee is very strong and needs the water in the ice to bring it to equilibrium.

Have you tried it with out crushed ice? I have no crusher so would be using cubes. Basic measurements still apply with filling up the glass and measuring the coffee?

Going to try this over the weekend, the double strength coffee at the start is the key I had been overlooking. I would just make it and sit it in the fridge for hours to cool it down. Now a very efficient way to make iced coffee. In the winter I was actually putting my coffee pot out the door and leaving it in the snow to cool down. Double strength coffee is going to cut hours out of my preparation time!

Do you use the same amount of ice when the concentrated coffee is still hot or do you always wait until it is chilled to use the concentrate with a full glass of ice?
