Coffee at a Glance 

Well it was a hard decision to put this into breakfast or dessert! French Press or Aeropress. Cold or hot brew.

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

Larger press -
65-75 g coffee
44 oz water
Smaller press -
45-50 g coffee
26 oz water

Use Nick's method for 130* water to moisten the grounds first. Let sit just a minute. 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!

Aeropress:
Be sure to grind much finer than for press.
Use for cold coffee! Very good.
1:5 ratio is
20 g coffee to 100 g water
Put coffee in bottom upside down. Add water and stir to wet all the grounds.
Let steep 5 minutes. Wet the paper filter. Press into a wide mouth jar over ice. This really highlights the taste of the coffee beans and yields a bright tasting coffee. Add a bit of maple syrup and milk to taste.
Coffee per serving in the french press. THIS IS STRONG COFFEE LIKE FOR A LATTE.

15 g coffee
220 g water (very close to 8 oz) (ml = g) (nearly 30 ml = 1 oz liquid measure)

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

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
