If you start with a full glass of ice like the post suggests, you should be left with slightly more than half a glass of ice once everything has settled. A single espresso is only around 1.5 oz. so you really shouldn't have much melting.

I've found that if you pour the shots into cold water first, then add ice, less ice melts.
