We do one bag brewed into a cube on half batch then 6 venti scoops of ice

2 liters of ice per 2 liters of coffee, if you search “iced coffee quick reference” on the hub it has the brewing instructions for both the 5 oz bags and 9 oz bags

as long as it’s half ice half ice coffee (lil more coffee) you should be solid any way you do it

The variation in responses on this post is frightening... I'm throwing my hat in the ring with some more detail:

There are two major sizes of Iced Coffee bags (SKUs, Behind-the-Line) in circulation - 5 oz. and 9 oz. You should be careful to check the size before you tear open those bags.

5 oz. bag - 2 of these - 1/2 batch brew
9 oz. bag - 1 of these - 1/2 batch brew

This will create a concentrated brew that's stronger than brewing the hot coffees.

In terms of ice after the brew - you always want to double the volume of what's in the cube before putting the lid on. The 1/2 batch puts out a little less than 2L. You need to put enough ice to double that so that it's short of the 4L line. Depending on whether you grab level scoops or heaping scoops, that comes out to about 5-6 Venti scoops of ice (which is the rule-of-thumb everyone says, but not everyone understands why).

Try to sample the iced coffee after it's been iced down. It should have a bit of a "bite" to the taste. If it tastes diluted, it was brewed with the wrong amount of hot water.

At my store we brew into a cube with ice filled up to the 2L line

we brew a bag on a half batch directly into the pitcher, then split the coffee evenly between another pitcher which usually comes out to around 1.25 L, then just fill it up the top with ice

one 1/2 batch bag and 6 venti scoops of ice in a cube

Beverage resource manual has specific instructions for each size bag of iced coffee/type of brewer/low volume vs high volume stores. If you want the Starbucks standard go to storelink and download the manual. Page 57 is where iced coffee can be found.

At my store we don’t double up. As for ice we do equal amount of ice to the liquid coffee produced. This thread now has me wondering what the official recipe is. I’m going to look it up in the Resource app next time I work.

My store uses 1 bag on 1/2 then 5 venti scoops ice

5 oz or 9 oz bag?

we do 1:1

similar question maybe (?): whats standard for ice coffee w/ milk. ive been told different things from different people and am now thoroughly confused

Brew ic on 1/2 batch into urn. Dispense into 6l cube. Fill with ice to 4l line.

My store is 1 bag of iced coffee on half batch and 5 Venti scoops of ice

At my store we do one bag in a big pitcher that you make mocha in and brew 1/2 batch then split the pitcher between two smaller pitchers and fill with ice

I've always brewed 2 bags on full.

Okay 240 here with the information why it is 1 bag brewed on hlaf per 4 heaping scoops of ice. Brew it in the brewer, put it into two pitchers, and fill those pitchers with ice. You'll need 2 heaping venti scoops of ice per.


You won't need 3 venti scoops of ice. More like two venti and a tall. So if you do it in the cube 6 scoops is too much. Maybe go 5, or just stick with 4 heaping scoops.

1 bag on half batch x2 into a cube.
Add 8 venti scoops of ice.
