Coffee at a Glance 

Well it was a hard decision to put this into breakfast or dessert!

~Drinking coffee (not latte style) milder coffee that can be served black or with half-half:

Larger press -
75 g coffee
48 oz water
Smaller press -
50 g coffee
28 oz water

Use Nick's method for 130* water to moisten the grounds first. Then boiling water. This makes a smoother cup of coffee. For a group put the 130* water into a flask for quick made batches.

~Use the 40 oz thermoflask, well preheated, to hold coffee for a smaller group than zojirushi.

~My larger press is 52 oz. And I think I get barely 40 oz coffee from it (the rest must be the space the grounds take up and the water to wet them).
My smaller press is 32 oz.

*Two large presses and two small presses fill my 100 ounce zojirushi with one full cup of coffee to spare!

*1 commercial pack (2.5 oz or 70g) made delightful not too strong to drink black coffee in my 32 oz (20g) and 52 oz (50g) presses. These together filled my zojirushi three-fourths full.
Coffee per serving, as in the aeropress OR as a base recipe for various sized french presses. THIS IS STRONG COFFEE LIKE FOR A LATTE.

15 g coffee
220 g water (very close to 8 oz)

~More mild 'drinkable' coffee in the press use for each serving:
10 oz kangan water
15 g coffee

For the aeropress grind as fine as table salt. For the press grind quite coarse.

Latte Coffee for TWO:
30 g coffee
16 oz water
This only makes enough for a latte style coffee with plenty of milk in it so adjust for black coffee drinkers or make it into Americano style.
Heat about 8 oz milk for lattes.

Latte Coffee for THREE in the smaller press (32 oz press):
50 g coffee
24 oz water (by weight)
This will fill it to the very top!
Heat about 12 oz milk for lattes

Latte Coffee for FOUR in the larger press:
70 g coffee
32 oz water
This will not fill it.
Heat about 16 oz milk

Latte Coffee for FIVE in the larger press (52 oz press):
90 g coffee
40 oz water
This fills it full.
Heat about 20 oz milk
