Cold Brew, anyone? (sopuli.xyz)

Just started experimenting with cold brew. I noticed the extremely low water ratio of 1:4 as compared to your garden variety manual pourover of 1:15 to 1:18. Is it as thick as I imagine it would?

How much do you usually make in a single batch? How much (before diluting) would you put in a single serving?

I make this for my kids in the summer and I think it's about 1/5 coffee to water by volume not weight. It comes out so smooth and strong. Closer to an espresso in strength, good undiluted but better diluted.

I sub it for espresso in cold drinks - there is this weird one supposed to be made with fresh orange juice, espresso and fizzy water, recipe had a lot of advice about not shocking the espresso but it's so much easier and better with cold brew. Cocktails too. Shaken with ice, delicious.

What do you mean by volume and not weight? Isn't water density 1 g/ml anyway?

I mean like measuring out about one dry cup of ground coffee, then filling the same cup 5 times with water to put over the coffee. By weight it would be a lot more water than coffee.
