The idea you could make 7 espresso drinks in 15 minutes! I could maybe barely do 3 in that time…
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).
I have an Espro P7, its double filter is great at getting rid of the crud when doing french press. Its my go to for making coffee for any large groups, especially when traveling as I don’t need a goose neck.
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.
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.
