# Coffee 🍵

Types of coffee / how best to make it / volumes by day

### Daily Shift

- Serve fresh cold brew (starting at 8-10am, through lunch at least)
    
    
    - Carefully remove filter bag. Allow it to drip remaining cold brew concentrate into brewing dispenser (the good stuff!).
    - Dispose of grounds in composting bin. Can consider reusing bag or trashing
    - Brewing makes **concentrate** that should be diluted 1:1 before serving with water
    - Add an aggressive amount of **ice** to the **serving** dispenser. Add freshly brewed **concentrate** to the serving dispenser. Stir vigorously to get cold brew down to ice cold temperature.
    - Taste test. If the concentrate taste is too strong, dilute with additional water.
    - Serve coffee and accompanying milks.
    - Refill coffee as needed throughout the morning/day.
- Start brew for next day’s cold brew **concentrate** (before or around 12pm)
    
    
    - Add filter to brewing dispenser, and tuck filter edges around edge of dispenser
    - Add **one 2 lb bag** of coffee grounds into filter bag
    - Add **9.1 L of water** (using fill line)
    - Lightly agitate grounds to ensure water permeates coffee
    - Add lid
    - Mark date and time on side of container, brew for ~18 hours

- Coffee 
    - **Ten (10)** boxes of [shelf-stable UHT oat milk](https://www.costco.com/kirkland-signature-organic-non-dairy-oat-beverage%2C-32-oz%2C-6-count.product.100638343.html). - 6/32 oz packs (1.5 gallons each pack) (TODO: place costco order) 
        - 1 box a day, seems reasonable
        - On the shopping list
    - Order 12 2 lb bags of coffee (preground) (TODO: confirm sourcing) 
        - 10 for cold brew
        - 2 for hot coffee
    - Filter bags (disposable, but technically reusable) and dispensers are from last year (TODO: Confirm how many we have left, there should be plenty)
