If I know I’m hosting a larger crowd than one or two friends, my go-to is a large batch of cold brew. This allows me to serve both hot and iced coffee depending on my guests’ preference. I aim for 100g of concentrate per guest and top it with 100g of hot water or a mix of ice and cold water.
What’s your concentrate recipe? Do you use a cold brew system for it or just grounds in water?
Coffee in water! I use a French press and pour it through a V60 filter because I prefer a clean drinking experience. My most used recipe for cold brew is 500g water and 83g coffee (1:6 ratio) and leave it for 24-48 hours (depending on how much warning I have).
That sounds awesome! Been wanting to get into cold brew for awhile so cool to what others are doing
Do you need a French press if you filter the coffee afterwards? I currently do not own one and wasn’t planning on getting one. My idea was to just dump the coffee in water, stir, let it brew, then filter.
Also, I assume you use a fairly coarse grind when brewing that long?
You absolutely don’t need a French press—I just find it’s easier to clean than the bottles I have. When I kept my French press far tucked away I used bottles and pitchers for cold brew before pouring it through the filter to catch the grinds.
And yes, I grind quite course. I have the Fellow Ode with SSP burrs and move it to the most course setting.
The idea you could make 7 espresso drinks in 15 minutes! I could maybe barely do 3 in that time…
From north west Spain (pot cofee) just using a pot, is a method that allows you to make coffee for an unlimited amount of people depending on the size of the pot: https://youtu.be/hG0aLE6nEfY I think you must trust autogenerated subtitles.
First video I didn’t watch through in a long time. Felt rather uninspired.
