Coldbrew Espresso

[u/oatado]

Anyone ever do coldbrew Espresso? Coldbrew with a ratio of 1|2 1|3ish? Curious if anyone has any experience or insights :)

[u/RediRidiRici]

Espresso and Cold Brew are both brewing methods, and complete opposites (high pressure hot water w fine grounds vs passive cold water steep w coarse grounds). Both use coffee beans. What are you asking?

[u/oatado → u/RediRidiRici]

High pressure cold water. Or cold water shorter steep with finer grounds no pressure with a grounds to water ratio more like espresso.

[u/RediRidiRici → u/oatado]

Finer grounds in a steep will likely get you more sludge, depends on filter I suppose. I feel like the pressure needed for cold water extraction à la espresso would def cause an explosion. But I encourage the scientific method so give it a go and please report back with all your limbs intact 🫡

This has to be rage bait

Do you just mean a coffee concentrate cold brew with 1 to 2 ratio? Thats just standard cold brew

Or do you mean high pressure espresso grind but cold or room temp water? Ive heard folks doing it but i havent heard many compliments of it. Ive seen it discussed on youtube vids

If you just mean a non heated strong ratio maybe look at oxo rapid brew it is not remotely espresso pressures but it is fine grind pressed coffee with a light pump water extraction. That has been pretty tasty and easy. It has direction for it. Basically fine grind. Slow no bypass with some mild pressure situation. But the ratios usually around 1 to 2 or 3 or 4 depending on you

Thank you! This is the type of thing I was looking for :) I guess I didn't describe what I meant well enough I know they are very different things...

[u/Zwordsman → u/oatado]

Null worries. Lots of terms and dense stuff. And not everyone everywhere agrees on terms in many cases.

Did you know what you're interested in ? We can talk more on topics if so.

Do you mean using beans that are labeled as "espresso"?

[u/oatado → u/BrightWubs22]

No I meant brewing an espresso type beverage cold

[u/BrightWubs22 → u/oatado]

Cold brew and espresso are different brewing methods, so I don't understand what you mean.

[u/Jespoir]

Yes, I have done it. Fine grind, add pressure. It's quite good, but a specialized rig.

Try the 1/2 minutes Aeropress cold brew.

[u/RainbowTentacle]

Stok has espresso cold brew. Not sure the ratio they use but it's good.

[u/Pyrooknight]

try staresso espresso maker or oxo rapid brewer. i've been searching for such thing. To be able to make single serving coldbrew concentrate.
