"Ice drop" refers to this step.

By controlling the coffee powder that let the water drop evenly in the powder-bearing cup (at this time, you need to use a round filter paper to place on the surface of the powder layer, so that the dripping water can spread evenly).

The steps of making ice drop coffee

The ratio of water to powder of ice drop coffee is about 10%. If there is 100g coffee powder, the weight of the ice + water mixture in the upper pot is about 800mm 1000g (ice: water = 1:1 is recommended). If there is a valve to regulate the flow, the frequency speed of water dripping is set at 10 seconds / 7-8 drops.

When making ice drop coffee, baristas in front street will choose 60 grams of coffee beans and extract about 600ml of ice drop coffee, that is, the powder-to-liquid ratio at 1:10. In terms of grinding degree, choose a slightly smaller thickness than hand-brewed coffee, the standard sieve pass rate of 0.85mm is about 85%, and the whole filtration time is 6 hours.

It should be noted that the grinding is fine, the proportion of powder to water is low, and the extracted ice drop coffee is rich and full. The purpose of this is because the subsequent product will be diluted with ice.
