Tried the 'ice first' method for my pour over and it actually worked better

Everyone says to pre-heat your dripper and carafe with hot water. I skipped that step and put ice in the carafe first instead. Brewed my Ethiopian Yirgacheffe right onto the ice. Got a way brighter, cleaner cup. Less of that bitter aftertaste I always got. Anyone else try this with a light roast?

Honestly, that's flash brewing, and you still need to pre-heat your dripper.

Interesting, @nancy_butler, but I never pre-heat for flash brewing and still get great results.

Wait, you didn't pre-heat the dripper at all?
