Stovetop Recommendations
While any of our coffees taste great brewed as stovetop espresso, some of our favorites include: Arabian Mocha-Java, Blend 101 and Italian Roast.
How to Brew Serves 3-4
The 6-Cup Bialetti makes 10 ounces, the 9-Cup Bialetti makes 14 ounces
1. Fill the bottom chamber of a Bialetti with water to just below the line inside the tank.
2. Place the filter basket into the bottom chamber and fill with coffee grounds.
3. Place the top serving chamber onto the bottom and turn to fasten securely.
4. Place the Bialetti on a range set to medium high. As the water heats, steam pressure forces brewed coffee into the top chamber. Lower the heat to slow the coffee flow and to avoid scalding.
5. Remove from heat when the serving chamber is ¾ full. Coffee continues to flow upwards as the brew cycle completes.
6. Fill a 14 ounce glass with ice.
7. Slowly pour 4 ounces of freshly brewed stovetop espresso directly over the ice. If a weaker flavor is desired, dilute with 1 ounce of cold, fresh, filtered water.
8. Swirl or stir gently with a spoon and add 1 ounce of milk or cream and sweeten with simple syrup to taste.
Note: To pre-season your Bialetti, brew through once and discard results.
Iced Coffee Recommendations
While any of our coffees can be served iced, we recommend clean and refreshing coffees such as
Costa
Rica, Kenya Auction Lot
, New Guinea Highlands and Ethiopian Fancy. For our decaf customers,
we recommend Decaf Sumatra and Decaf Mocca Java.
Brewing Iced Coffee
In order to get the best flavor, be sure to brew your coffee to Peet’s standards - 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water. The refreshing quality of iced coffee is best achieved by brewing through a paper filter. This produces a very clean flavor and texture. To preserve flavor and aroma, store unused brewed coffee in the refrigerator in a covered glass container.
Hot Brew Method Serves 4
1. In your coffee machine, brew half a pot of coffee to Peet’s recommended strength - 36oz of water and 12 tablespoons of coffee (¾ cup).
2. Immediately pour into a heat-safe vessel, then refrigerate until cool.
3. Stir and serve over ice.
Cold Brew Method Serves 6

Iced Tea Recommendations
Summer House® Iced Tea and Mango Iced Tea are two Peet’s tea blends that were created to be enjoyed over ice. However, many of our other teas also taste great iced. Some of our favorites are Amber Oolong, Black Currant and Pumphrey’s Blend. For a delicious caffeine-free treat, we recommend Red Rooibos Organic and Xiao’s Blend.
Brewing Iced Tea
For the best tasting iced tea, we strongly recommend brewing your tea leaves with boiling water and then chilling the liquor. Only boiling water can release the flavor and aroma from tea leaves, and preparing tea from lukewarm or cold water will result in a less flavorful cup. Some teas may cloud slightly when iced, but this is a natural property of fine teas from certain origins, and does not affect flavor.
Hot Brew Method Serves 4
1. Brew 4 teaspoons of loose leaf (or 1 tea bag) in 16oz of boiling water to make a double-strength brew. Steep for 4-5 minutes
2. Strain into a pitcher containing an equal amount of cold water.
3.Stir and serve over ice.
Cold Brew Method Serves 8
Enjoy refreshing iced tea at home with the Bodum Biasca Brewer
1. Measure 7 rounded teaspoons of tea into the carafe.
2. Add 40 ounces of fresh, cold, filtered water.
3. Place filtered lid on carafe.
4. Store the Biasca in refrigerator for 5 to 6 hours as it brews, stirring once or twice during that time.
5. The Biasca’s lid strains the tea leaves as you pour directly over ice to serve. Sweeten with simple syrup if desired.
