i don't know how I never thought to do that with the work coffee 🤔 I once resorted to bringing a french press but it's too big a pain in the rear end to clean and deal with the grounds at work

my job had near 1k employees and like 4 coffee pots. people were good about brewing more coffee, but the instructions were 1 satchel thing per pot. That was like 4TB and not near enough!!! I ended up bringing my aeropress in and using the hot water dispenser when i wanted the good juice.

i hate the term “french press” for cafetière, it sounds like a euphemism for a low-key sexual assault on a crowded train

I ended up bringing my aeropress in and using the hot water dispenser when i wanted the good juice. yeah I'm still rolling with the clever dripper. 100 days in and it's working well, plus the hot water thermos limits me to 3 cups so it puts a limit over my consumption. down from the 5-6 cups a day i'd have before lunch at oldjob. working more 12+ hour days here though, i might need to start refilling the thermos at midday if this keeps up.

Inspired by these reports to use my old steel French press to make cold brew. Should I leave it on the counter or the fridge

like you can brew it at room temp for a while if you want before fridging it but i don’t see the point really. i’m pro just grinding and steeping overnight in the fridge

idk how people do cold coffee steeps. I've tried it a few times and it is impossible to separate the brew from the grounds it just sits in the filter if you try to filter it pourover style, and the resistance is too high to push a french press down onto. every time I've tried it I've wished for a kitchen centrifuge

I've tried it a few times and it is impossible to separate the brew from the grounds you just gotta change the filter. i'll use two plain old #2 filters for cold brewing 100g of beans. and yeah it might take a few minutes to drip but it'll get there eventually.

yeah a wire mesh strainer to filter out the bigger grounds and then paper filter for the fines has suited my needs i’ve tried cheesecloth and it works pretty well but cleaning it is more of a hassle

Nessus posted:Yeah sadly I was not custom grinding but I have prepared the vessel and it is now in the refrigerator awaiting the justice of the morning* (11:20 AM or so) right on! i really do recommend dumping through a classic metal screen strainer first if you have one lying around. just make sure you do it over a bowl and not the sink because you’re working on spaghetti memory

i think the issue is probably just that i make a lot more at a time lol if everything will fit in your drench press it should work great. i would still run it through a paper filter after tho

Nessus posted:
I make a bunch of concentrate at a time so it really doesn’t fit in the fridge. it’s fine to steep at room temp for 12-ish hours, which is as long as I’d want to go anyway because it extracts faster when it’s warmer. as far as the filtering I’m also a fan of cheesecloth or dedicated thin kitchen towel to get the bulk of grounds out. for the silt, I’ve sometimes just let it sit in the fridge overnight to let it settle then decanted the coffee into another container. i’ve posted about it before but at some point I got impatient with how long it took/got nostalgic about college chem lab and put together a vacuum filtration rig. total overkill and silly but it gets the silt out a lot faster

I originally did it with a hand vacuum pump which was a terrible idea, but I got a small lab pump a few years ago that pulls something like a .2 bar vacuum. mine is this because at the time it was the only small pump I could find that wasn’t $$$ but Amazon has a bunch of similar-looking ones for cheaper now. edit: \/ \/ \/ yeah I was starting from scratch so all my parts were brand new anyway lousy hat fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Aug 19, 2022 |
