Batch brewing means making a large amount of filter coffee in one go, usually in a commercial or large home machine. The machine sprays hot water over a bed of ground coffee in a big filter, and the coffee drips into a jug or a thermos. It is the best way to serve many cups at one time with a steady quality.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Place a paper filter in the basket and add medium ground coffee.

  2. 02

    Fill the water tank to the amount you need.

  3. 03

    Start the brew cycle.

  4. 04

    Pour the finished coffee into a thermos, so the burner does not scorch it.

  5. 05

    Serve within an hour or two for the best taste.

Taste: Balanced and easy to drink, with a medium body.

Questions

How long does batch brew coffee stay fresh?

In a thermos, about one to two hours is good. On a hot plate it tastes burnt much sooner.

What is the best grind for batch brew?

Medium, a little coarser than for a single pour over, because large baskets drain slowly.
